The Journal.
Do you keep a diary or journal? I never used to. I do like to be organized and I write a lot of things down, but usually use spiral notebooks, stickie-pads, scraps of paper… whatever is handy. Then, of course, I lose them. For someone who uses a computer every day, you’d think I would’ve come across this excellent resource long ago, but I only recently discovered it. It’s a journaling software program that has made my life so much easier! I don’t use it as a diary, although it has an excellent daily entry feature. I use it to keep my “to-do” lists, record ideas as I’m surfing the web, save snippets of text, graphics or website links. And so much more. I can’t do it justice here; you really have to try it yourself. And you can do that FREE for 45 days. I highly recommend it for people who like to be (or need to be) organized.

JOBARIA.COM. Got a Web Cam? Create an Interview Video!
This site offers you the opportunity to create an interview video which you can "attach" to your resume via a link. You fill out a brief form to start the process. They provide you with sample interview questions which you answer while recording yourself with your own web camera. The resulting interview video is stored on their site, and you receive a link to that interview video to include in your resume (or anywhere else you wanted to post it). The idea is that someone reading your resume online (anywhere your resume resides) can click on that link and watch your interview video.
This sounds like a great way to differentiate yourself from other job candidates. Just be careful that the video you create will enhance your image to potential job seekers. Look neat and professional, speak clearly, give thorough answers to the questions... the same type of preparations as for any other type of interview.

calling ME for interviews, and the response was immediate!" (Suzy Kramer, Chesapeake, VA). What did Suzy do? She skipped the "monstrous" job boards online and faxed her resume directly to employers. And she didn't have to lift a finger -- a new service automates
