The Daily Roundup: Madden About Turducken

By Zack on November 26, 2008

Welcome to the Daily Roundup. Each day at the ThinkTalk Blog we will post some links that we find informative, interesting, or just plain funny. The goal is to let you know what else is going on out there, and ultimately help you with the development of your career.

I just have a few quick hits and links for you today. Most of you are probably stuck in your 7th hour of traffic right now anyway. If not, enjoy! On then to the links . . .

CollegeRecruiter Instructs: You to apply for jobs online the Right Way. By following the directions! I agree. I once had a job that urged online applicants, "please no visits." One woman showed up and not only would the boss not meet with her, but he shredded her resume. Follow. Directions.

Alison's Job Searching Blog Has: Resume and Cover Letter Templates. Just make sure you actually put your name in the "your name here" section.

Inside Higher Ed Has: Some grim news for those whose Student Loans are in default or rehabilitation. During the current economic atmosphere less and less agencies are buying up loans that are deemed "ready for rehabilitation." There may be hope on the horizon, but it doesn't look great right now. The lesson as I see it is: keep up with your student loan payments.

The Wall Street Journal reveals: A new trend in the face of economic cost-cutting: Outsourcing legal work to India. Geez, what's left to outsource; adultery? Oh . . . And that does it for the Thanksgiving week edition of The Daily Roundup. The ThinkTalk Blog hopes you all have a wonderful, filling, and safe holiday weekend. I will be back home, sitting on my butt, watching football, and doggin the traditional turkey and fixins (I love me some turkey skin!) I fully expect to come back 300 pounds and with a sever case of gout. See you all next week and Happy Thanksgiving.
