I am totally confused :) Anyway, hey everyone - long time no blog huh?! This is your friendly neighborhood Zoë tuning in to say hello. To commemorate the "birth" of the blog Gret asked me to send out a special post and I was of course willing to oblige. Read More...

Relocation, Relocation, Relocation

Posted Wednesday, December 08, 2004 3:57 PM by JobsBlog
Someone recently asked me to talk about my relocation experience. I think it’s a good idea since we haven’t really spent a lot of time writing about that topic. In fact, I think that we have spent a lot of time focused on resume and interview tips and Read More...

I can't say this site is new, but it is new to me! Check out Microsoft's Design Site . We found this perusing the web the other day and had to share given our passion around revamping our own career site. It's pretty cool to see the product designers Read More...

Sometimes work is monotonous. That is just the way life is, but recently things have been kicked up a notch for me. Largely because of some of the things that Gretchen and I are working on that seem to be making a difference. I am really stoked about Read More...
