Beauty

I could have sworn that I reviewed this site already. Must be the lack of food has made me amnesiac.

Anyway, this site is all photos and little verbiage. For some reason it has a high hit count despite being non-porn. Uh-Oh, I let the cat (meow) out of the bag. This is not a porn site. Now nobody will visit it.

Actually tomfoolery aside I'm not sure if this site was designed for women or for men. It appeals to both genders.

The Military

If you are poor and have no options, then you can die. The rich do not serve. Bush was AWOL for his National Guard years working for chickenhawk Republicans who also were pro-war and did not serve. Bush was never prosecuted. His daughters did not serve although we were (and still are) in a state of war.

During the Vietnam years everybody knew that to get out of going to Viet Nam, you either had to do stateside in the National Guard or flee to Canada. Bush chose an arrangement (wink, wink) with the Guard. Kerry could have dodged alltogether but he actually VOLUNTEERED to go into combat and the Republicans made fun of his two Purple Hearts at their convention. Anyone can go dig out the archival video footage if they doubt what millions saw on television. Republicans pro-military? and making fun of Purple Hearts?

Obviously I need a job with the Republican Party so that I can screw the public too.

If you really need a job, then go into the military. They aren't the bad guys. Read the above to find out who the bad guys are.

Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines but maybe not the Coast Guard.

America's Job Bank

I can only go by what I experience. Not economic statistics. Jobless recovery? An oxymoron. If there are no jobs, there is no recovery except for Wall Street. Our government taxes the poor to give to the rich. A reverse Robin Hood.

America's Job Bank, as I have experienced it over the past few years, is a lot a paperwork. They roll out the red carpet for those filing for unemployment while those seeking employment get the proverbial dirty end of the stick.

Hey, if I'm not wanted in this country, I am more than willing to bail and move to another country and get citizenship elsewhere. Too expensive an option at the moment but I'm open to it.

Job Service or whatever name du jour the Employment "Security" Commission is using is a total waste. I have haunted their offices for years even when I was working for somebody else. That's right: I followed that old maxim that says the best time to look for a job is when you have a job. So much for wisdom.

Monster

This site has wasted countless hours of my precious life letting me think that material that I had typed in, inputted, uploaded or cut & paste were saved only to find my material wiped clean. It is amnesiac. No leads USA or international, full time, part time, perm or temp.

Now it just so happens that on my last job, while everyone else had their hours cut back (including people with babies and grandchildren that they had to support) my hours were always increased. I had the feeling that if the doors closed and the place was boarded up, that I would be the last employee laid off. A compliment I suppose but I'd rather have an increase in pay.

Anyway, that's only some of what a site like Monster and my previous employers threw away.

I left my last employer because a fall (no injury fortunately) wised me up that, like previous employers, they intended to use me up.

Careerbuilder

Tis the season to be unemployed as Mister Potter arranges a layoff for you while he gives bonuses to the bozos who bankrupt companies too big to fail.

My own experience with Careerbuilder is this. It is fairly good at keeping and maintaining the resumes and cover letters you input. It oftens refers completely irrelevant jobs to you.

I gave up on the site two years ago and last week got an email from someone offering me a job with a decent salary and asking my phone number. Needless to say, I gave my phone number and have received no call.

I challenge any career site to find me a job. I'll give you a plug here. I know of no one who has found work through Careerbuilder other than Careerbuilder employees, some of whom I have dialogued with online.

Webgarden

This is a review of a free web site provider. All such providers of course don't mind if you upgrade to paid services but even if you don't, they can put ads on your free site to turn a profit.


Webgarden immediately lets you pick your subdomain. It is interesting what each site's emphasis is.
