New Job, found via Eluta.ca

Surprise, I have a new job and will be starting in March!

Looking back, this is job #4 in 5 years and it does not mean I am not loyal, just better opportunities do exist
Thankfully, each job does get better

Anyway, I just want to announce the good news and also share a few useful sites

Eluta - a simple Google-like Job Search website
- You can set parameters like Keyword, and Distance; as well as RSS and Email alert (I learned of my new job via the RSS feed)
- Much better than Monster and Workopolis in my opinions

RateMyEmployer.ca or Glassdoor.com
- If your company is on there, it's quite a read!

Jobless Everywhere

All focus today is the Job Losses in Canada and USA. It is in those times one feel unsettled, concerned about one's job (fingers crossed). At the same time, I feel grateful for a wonderful job and environment to minimize the jobless concern. Nobody reads my blog, so it is definitely not an intent to sweet talk my managers :-)

Even the Kitchener-Waterloo region is not immune, news says

Locally our unemployment rate rose to 7.7 per cent in December from 6.5 the previous month. 22-thousand people are without work in Waterloo Region.
35-hundred of them were looking for a job last month.
