Unemployed Tech Execs Put Up Their Own Site

from the too-good-for-monster.com? dept

It seems that a bunch of out of work tech execs have banded together to put up their own site to post resumes, network, and look for jobs. I'm not sure why any of the regular job sites such as Monster and Hotjobs aren't good enough for them. I hadn't realized that executives needed their own private corner. Of course, my first thought, was how many of these former executives really deserved to be executives in the first place. During the age of title inflation plenty of "executives" really didn't deserve the positions they held.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Uh... actually...

    Anyone who doesn't use web bugs in their resume to track who's reading and distributing their resume just doesn't get the Internet and is probably having a hard time finding a job for a reason...

    Anyone who dependins on third party sites to distribute their resume is just plain lazy.

    Anyone who *pays* to have their resume distributed is patently stupid.

    Your resume is content. There's absolutely no reason that it can be fun for both you and the reader. If you can't engage the reader, what does that really say about *you*.

    Just take a look at fscked company.

    Classic - these so-called tech executives can't even develop a simple site that loads properly under Internet Explorer 5.5 with all the latest service patches!

    How many tech execs have you seen design a site? Execs don't do work... They order other people to do the work and take the credit for it.
