Speculations On The Job Search, Speed, And Innovation

I've ranted about the issues with a modern-day job search more times than I care to count.  If you've counted, accepted my awed accolades, you're more anal-retentive than I am.

Now I'm less than sympathetic towards the stupidities of the search for employment than I should be.  I'll concede that.  It's not that I'm annoyed at any one person, but at the general outlandish weirdness and problems in the job search of today.  Really, you think it'd be easier.

So, of course, I mull over the pain points of the job search.   One that hit me recently is speed.

I am morally required to post this

Penny Arcade needs a Merchandise Manager

I love doing this blog.  I love the emails.  I love the seminars.  But I also love being able to type the words "Penny Arcade needs a Merchandise Manager" and post a LINK to that (and the fact it's on one of my crush objects, LinkedIn.com, makes this all the sweeter).

A geek triumph of media is recruiting a person, for a paid position, and using the ultimate business networking site.

I am PLEASED.
