Interjob.ca le site d’emploi en TI et Communication pour le Canada Interjob.ca est un nouveau concept de site d’emploi au Canada, dans le domaine des Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication. En fait le système est un peu différent du cheminement classique du bon vieux site d’offres d’emplois puisqu’ici il s’agit plutôt d’un service de mise en relation entre Candidats et Employeurs. Il s’agit en quelque sorte d’une agence de placement payante permettant aux candidats de créer leur CV (texte+Vidéo+photo+message vocal) et de recevoir en échange les entreprises ciblées à contacter. L’avantage de ce service est qu’il cible le marché des emplois cachés (les postes non affichés) qui représente 80 % des emplois. A l’inverse d’un site classique encore, le produit est gratuit pour les entreprises. Je dois avouer que le concept me paraît séduisant. En plus il ne paraît pas trop cher : envoi de 50 CV (=timbres Interjob) pour 10 dollars CAD. Présentation Candidats : Présentation Employeurs :

5 Keywords That Can Help Land The Job - AskMen UK Lauren Brookmeyer An employer does not want to hear that you are applying to 'learn.' An interview is a competition. Through my personal experience of being interviewed, interviewing others and hearing both enlightening and dumbfounding stories from friends, I've developed the keyword list below for you to consider on your next job interview.

How to Read a Hebrew Tombstone Jewish tombstones with Hebrew inscriptions have an added value to genealogists, in that they not only show the date of death and sometimes the age or date of birth, but they also include the given name of the deceased's father. This permits you to go back one more generation. Here are a few helpful pointers if you cannot read Hebrew.

At the end of many Hebrew tombstone inscriptions you will find the abbreviation which is an abbreviation of a verse from the Bible, the first book of Samuel, 25:29, "May his soul be bound up in the bond of eternal life". If any Hebrew characters at all are written on a tombstone, they are most likely to be the person's Hebrew name. The Hebrew word בן, ben, means "son of", as in "Yaakov ben Yitzhak", meaning "Yaakov the son of Yitzhak". bat, means "daughter of".
