The last 24 hours have been full of big news. Bernanke’s staying on as the Fed’s chairman. Obama said the deficit’s going to be worse than he anticipated. Michael Jackson’s death is a homicide. Whoa.
Here’s what you should be reading today:
- Not sure that these sorts of findings really change much, but they’re fun reads, nonetheless.
Testosterone May Guide Women’s Careers - Hopefully confidence translates into a better economy.
Consumers more confident of economy, jobs - A sad but realistic look at unemployment for some people.
The Huge Gap Between a Dentist and a Job - Nice, friendly reminder.
Job seekers should keep references current
About Anthony Balderrama
Anthony Balderrama writes about hiring trends, workplace issues and job search tactics for CareerBuilder.com and its blog The Work Buzz. He was born and raised in Dallas (115° degrees isn’t hot!) before moving to Chicago (-23° isn’t cold!). He studied creative writing, therefore everything he writes is usually cut in half once he realizes he spent 400 words just on the intro. He knows that looking for a job and dealing with co-workers are not always fun activities, and reading about them is even less thrilling. That’s why he’ll take any opportunity he can to mention his favorite TV show or band in an article. Basically Anthony’s doing whatever he can to avoid hate mail.
