Job Search Information Management

The saying is that treat a job search like a full time job. Right, specially when you already have a job that is close to full time and you're a full time student. So can you really have 3 full time jobs? Not really. The point is that I looked around the web for a tool that would help me manage all my information concerning my job search. The tool I am createing will manage: <br><br> <li>Job Postings</li> <li>Job Contacts</li> <li>Job Leads</li> <li>References</li> <li>Resumes</li> <li>Cover Letters</li> <li>Thank You Letters<li> <br><br> Read on...

Trying out Mozilla Thunderbird for the first time.

So at work I usee MS Outlook 2003 and Outlook Express for my personal email. So, I just reformatted my machine and decided to try a new/better email client. I had heard a lot about <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/">Mozilla Thunderbird</a> so I decided to give a spin. The installation was quite painless, and it is very fast. I am also using it for surfing newsgroups and so far so good. There is somewhat of a learning curve and I am still trying to figure out the new keyboard shortcuts, as well as how NG posts are handled when received. Overall this is definetly a step forward passed Outlook Express. Next, I will try to import all of my old email, as well as try some themes and extensions.<BR><BR> -david macias
