A Different Site for Job Hunters

If you are like millions of Americans, you are unemployed and actively looking for jobs!  Whether you are applying online through several job search websites, pounding the pavement, or contacting temp agencies, you may have noticed that jobs are scarce. 

Have you thought about writing job reviews about your former employers?  Here, you are able to write job reviews of companies you have worked for in the past.  You can even rate them on the basis of different subjects, such as pay, promotions, etc. 

At this free job portal, you can post jobs for free and apply for jobs free!  There are also some unique features too.  You can apply for up to 50 jobs at once!  As an online job search site user, I have never seen an option like this before!  Have you? 

I was surprised, were you?

Earlier this week, Ricky Martin declares that he is a homosexual.  It was surprising for me to read, although I never considered him to be either way.  He was and still is good looking, however I never had a crush on him.  His sexuality has no affect on me and I don’t see him differently.  He is still the same person. 

I can’t imagine having to “come out” to the world.  I think it is very brave! 

Ever since the Ricky Martin came out, his song “Living La Vida Loca” has been stuck in my head. 

Skin Care Thoughts

Do you feel bombarded with the many different options of skin care products available?

This year, I will be entering into my 30s and I have already started using anti-aging products! I started looking into anti-aging products soon after I turned 29! I am currently using a few products and methods to help prevent wrinkles. I treat myself an anti-aging homemade facial mask at least once a week.

What skin care products do you use? Before buying any product, be sure to look at the ingredients list! Read the customer reviews, listen to your friends and other opinions to form your own thoughts about products. In other words, do your homework.
