The Official Blog of Jobaloo.com

As another example of how many great job hunting tools there are out the right now, I had never heard of CHiMBY until I got an email from them letting me know that Jobaloo was being included in their career advice search engine results.

When you’re looking for career advice, you can go to CHiMBY and search through over 250 career advice sites at once. With all the advice out there, the time was ripe for someone to go an attempt to harness as much of it all together as possible. CHIMBY tries to do just that.

In fact, you can take it for a spin right here in this post. Go ahead, put in a couple of keywords relating to your search and see what comes up!

Search the web’s greatest collection of career advice.

The site also has dozens of predefined search terms set up on all sorts of different topics to make things even easier for you.

CHiMBY is another tool that jobseekers should keep at their disposal to maximize their search efforts.

Man…has it really been a month since we’ve updated the blog? That can’t be right. We’ve been so busy working behind the scenes of Jobaloo, that we’ve been too busy to blog…bad, very bad. We’ll promise to do better.

I couldn’t pass up mentioning this lengthy blog post entitled: Everything You Wanted to Know About Getting a Job in Silicon Valley But Didn’t Know Who to Ask. It is obviously aimed at a particular breed of job hunter, but the tips within apply to really anyone who is looking for a job.

If you’ve even experienced the horror of a group interview, you’ll especially like the section which lists out the stereotypical types you’re likely to encounter in those sessions, what questions they’ll be prone to ask, and how you should reply.

The stereotypical people include:

• The Wunderkind
• The Mom
• Mr. CPG
• Sunil
• Jasmine McGuire
• The Lifer
• Grecian Gray
• HR Professional
• Ms. CEO
• Don Corleone

It’s surprisingly on-target!
