With the city-wide unemployment rate at it’s lowest in sevens years this August, those searching for San Antonio jobs won’t experience any undue difficultly.

why it’s cool and fun to sell out

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

Those of you who read Cheezhead already know that Joel Cheesman has acquired Magic Pot of Jobs.

what i’ve learned

Monday, April 30th, 2007

So, here’s something I learned during my recent job search.

a little contact rant

Monday, March 26th, 2007

A little side rant before I get to the real content- some of you are so intent to get in touch with me despite the broken comment form (yes, I know, I’ll fix it tomorrow night when I have time) that you dig up my gmail address, which isn’t given anywhere on this site that […]

I’ve got more to say on the topic of loyalty- for example, how loyalty between managers and team members can be the thing that turns a ho-hum job into a really fantastic experience, but it has been an exhausting day and the thoughts aren’t coming together yet.

Dear Talent,
The law gives employers until January 31st to send out W-2 forms. They are mailed out at the corporate level, not at the individual branch level. So please do not start calling me in mid-January, panicking that you haven’t received yours yet. Also, please do not schedule your appointment with your […]

Magic Pot of Links

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

By the way, I finally got around to putting up a quick’n’dirty solution for my MPOJ del.icio.us links. You can view my links (and grab the RSS feed) at the Magic Pot of Links. It’s just a list of stuff I’ve been reading and thought was interesting enough to share, but didn’t want […]
