When I transitioned to WordPress a couple of years ago, I did not go back and tag all the posts with categories. I have finally done so.
Oh, I did not change all the links, so some links to older posts go to the archive for that month. If you find one and email me, I will fix it. Otherwise, I’m assuming you aren’t bothered by having to search the monthly archive, or you’re not reading those old posts.

I’m writing about a post a week for ITJobBlog. I’ve already written a couple of posts about how to develop your interview skills when you’re a candidate, part 1 and part 2. Please join us over there, too!

Some of my readers appear to be new to reading and commenting on blogs. Here’s how I manage my comments:
I don’t take ads on this blog, by design. I am happy to have people with content-ful (or even partially content-ful!) comments to post their urls in their comments. But don’t just take comment space to advertise to my readers. I won’t approve those comments, and I will not let you do it.
Back to the real topics now.

I’ve converted to WordPress as my blogging platform and now have changed the URL for the blog and the feed. You can see this post because of magical redirection.
The URL is now http://jrothman.com/blog/htp.
The feed is now http://jrothman.com/blog/htp/feed.
Let me know if you have problems.

The nice folks over at computerworld.com asked me to comment on this year’s salary survey, and to discuss with folks how to obtain a better salary. (See A Slow Thaw” for my column.) I’m blogging over at my computerworld blog. Please visit and leave comments.

The article, Blogs ‘essential’ to a good career says a well-executed blog can help you find a job by establishing you as an expert. The key here is “well-executed.”Blogging is great fun, and can help potential hiring managers discover another side of you. And, if your blog isn’t well-written, doesn’t link to others, and talks enough about off-topic issues, your blog may not help.But I’m an optimistic person. So if you’re a candidate looking for a job, start blogging!

I just added two new blogs to my blogroll: Weinberg on Writing, and Secrets of Consulting. You may be wondering why.Writing cover letters is a non-trivial matter, and too many candidates do a poor job. Learning to write better, especially for something as important as cover letters, is one of those Good Ideas.
A couple of weeks ago, when I participated in Jerry’s consulting skills workshop, we discussed making contact at length. That’s when I realized that the making contact skill and the networking skills we discuss and use as consultants are the same as people searching for candidates or jobs.
These two blogs are not directly applicable to hiring–but you will find useful tidbits on them that you can use as you search for a candidate or a job.
