Maybe it’s just me, but the week is flying by. And today was full of plenty of good news, what with the arrival of the two freed journalists who were detained in North Korea. Oh, and let’s not forget the recent findings of CareerBuilder’s latest survey.
Here are the news items that didn’t get quite as much attention:
- I don’t think we highlight veterans enough, and I think this is a story worth telling.
Economy Makes Job Search Tough For Vets - Can I also sue my high school teacher seeing as I’ve never once used the Pythagorean Theorem?
Jobless NYC woman sues college for $70K in tuition - Now don’t you feel ashamed of yourself for counting down the days until retirement? Or, you know, the weekend?
101-year-old Dallas-area lawyer Jack Borden honored as nation’s ‘Outstanding Oldest Worker’ - We like pop culture, and we like learning. Here’s what Paula Abdul (yes, Paula) can teach you. Though I don’t know if I agree with the conclusion.
Paula Abdul’s salary negotiation problem
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.
