Weekend Update

Filed under: Introduction, Job Search, Organization — Michael Brennan-White @ 12:20 am

Let's try this again.  My first rev of the post went into the ether. 

The weather cooperated so I was very production.  In other words, it sucked. 

 The new user registration pages are complete and live.  There is also a page to allow editing of User Profiles.  

In no time I pulled together the code to allow storing of the user's last used Feed criteria in a table so it is checked each time the feed is pulled up to show the current results for their preferences rather than SQL Server in Concord NH.

Web Site Privacy Policy Generator

Filed under: Introduction, Job Search, Organization — Michael Brennan-White @ 10:06 pm

Faced with the prospect of having to create a Privacy Policy for my website I thought I would have to copy one from another web site.

Luckily I found this standards compliant Policy Generator. Nothing sexy but this definitely saved me a lot of time and aggravation.

It isn't web 2.0 but it is an app I designed to help people take control of their job search, sending of correspondence and keep track of your search activities to report to unemployment.

Wow, I feel official now

Filed under: Introduction, Job Search, Organization — Michael Brennan-White @ 11:03 pm

Job Search Log has been approved to display Google Ads.  I haven't done it yet but I feel like I've accomplished something now.  

 I also have a contact form now and most of the tutorials are done (without screen shots). 

 We made it through Easter and though I felt guilty, I barely touched my computer.  It felt pretty good.

I flipped the switch

The system is now live. Letters sent to a company will now be sent to the address on the company form. I already applied for 2 jobs.

Now I need to set up a day and time with anyone I can talk into it to test the pages with multiple people on it at the same time.

I am psyched.

Tutes

I have spent the last week trying to clear up small bugs and write documentation for the pages. Boy, that has been fun.

I found a site that allows you to create a dummies book cover of your own. Job Source Log for Dummies A lot of fun.

I'm off to the wilderness of Manch Vegas NH to camp with my son's Cub Scout Pack. Maybe I should bring a security keyboard.

A Saved Ad

Filed under: Introduction, Job, Tools — Michael Brennan-White @ 11:13 pm

Saved AdA Saved Ad.

The Ad saved advertises the job we probably all would like to have. A one day a week job.

Clicking on the Ad Title "Motorcycle Sales" will take you to the Original Ad (if you included the URL when creating the record and the page still exists.) On the same line is the day you created the Ad record and a link to the Job Source of the ad.

Clicking one of the buttons will allow you to Save the Ad as a Job or Delete the Ad. I will leave it to your imagination as to which button you must push to accomplish each action.
