OF BLOGS AND GROUPS

Yes, the mundane title soundly describes the focus of our story. But before you cast your eyes elsewhere, we should just let the parallel centre of the story slip in. With the advent of blogs some half a decade ago, people found releasing outlets of their thoughts. But, with technological advancements shrieking optimisation, today, blogs have turned into personalised grounds for information exchange. We went sleuthing around, and poked our noses in all sorts of Internet consortiums, to bring to you blogs that talk about jobs, work experiences and solutions.

CareerBuilder Work-Life job blog

With archives available since November 2005, the blog boasts of numerous posts to help you in your place of work. The categories of discussion go on and on from books, retirement planning to jobs, employment trends to surveys. Also available are links to other web portals, placed appropriately to help you discuss every work- related query. The blog has recently entered into a contract with an employee, for tabbing his work-life in their online job-journal. This blog contains entries from the life of this anonymous employee, who publishes his job experiences on a daily basis for you to evaluate, judge and perhaps learn. The blog, is one famous work-bi#$h!

The Monster blog

As a small offshoot of monster.com, the career-advice sector of the website, deals with issues related to work zones. When, deliberating on furthering their avenues to help prospective and current employees, the team came up with the idea of forming the Monster blog. The blog gets posts from professionals involved in all walks of professional activities, and also from job seekers sharing their woes. This group discusses both the terrific and the terrible aspects of a job, on a blog that they deemed functional on an array of free-form writing.
