Some fun sites for you-
SURFIN’
Maybe you are not an executive, but the advice given at The Wall Street Journal’s career website can be helpful to anyone. www.careerjournal.com <http://www.careerjournal.com/> offers advice on job-hunting,
salary and hiring info, and tips from top columnists on the job market. Also there’s a database of (mostly well-paying) jobs. If you need to discuss an issue of sensitivity or just a comment on a company,
they have an excellent posting board where members contribute and share ideas.
You’re visiting New York and don’t know which restaurant to eat at? That’s a common problem. Fortunately, a friend will probably point you in the right direction and there are dozens of guides to send you to the cuisine
of your choice. But none of them will tell you which passed the NYC restaurant health inspection. Just for fun you can check which restaurants have vermin or the workers are not washing their hands after going to the bathroom.
The New York City Department of Health keeps this database current at http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/rii/index.shtml. Actually, the vast majority of restaurants in New York City pass inspection and have no violations,
due to stringent enforcement. But to decide how much contamination is acceptable in your next restaurant visit, take a look.
It’s hard to keep up with the news when you have so little time. You know how friends or colleagues will email you an article they read in their local newspaper. Now you can appear as well read as them by having
at your fingertips a database to every newspaper in the USA. NewsVoyager http://www.newspaperlinks.com/home.cfm provides direct links to most newspapers in the country searchable by state, city, frequency
(daily vs. weekly) or specific section of newspaper i.e. classifieds, business, etc. Now you can seem all-knowledgeable by forwarding that interesting article about “Tourists Don’t Mind Sharing Vacation
With Hell’s Angels” from The Powell Tribune (A local Wyoming paper.)
