Do you have what it takes to work from home?
Job Search Log is looking for a few work at home volunteers to contribute approximately 5 hours a week. We are hoping to increase the number of sites that link to our free web application and invite new members to our community. My goal over the next few months is to be linked from unemployment department, veteran’s affairs and social service departments around the world.
Why are these positions unpaid? For a couple of good reasons. First, I am interested in working with people who have the desire to do this type of work but have never been given the opportunity due to a lack of experience. By doing it in this way, I can provide the opportunity to more people. The last reason is that there is no money to pay someone. Job Search Log is not an income generating venture. I am hoping to help some people, gain some experience and not lose money in the process.
I am seeking interns in one of more of these job types:
- Research
- Marketing
- Web Application Usability Testing
Yes, these positions are unpaid but they offer some benefits well worth your time:
- Require only a small time commitment
- You will learn skills directly applicable in today’s job market.
- This internship will also be good experience for your resume and I will respond promptly to employers if you use JSL as a reference.
- You may find a job for yourself. After all, this is a web site to help people find work and to organize their job search activities.
- Did I say it was working from home?
If you are interested, please send me an email at info@jobsearchlog.com.
I hope we can work together to help you gain some useful experience at the same time we are helping others find a new or better job.

Job Searching from anywhere just got easier.

Copy the green colored text to your Browser Address Bar or save it as a favorite. This link is a piece of javascript code called a bookmarklet. This is code designed to be run directly from the address bar of your internet browser to perform a task. Please note the bookmarklet is associated with your profile. You should use the bookmarklet available when you login to JobSearchLog.
This is how to use the JobSearchLog Bookmarklet. You would select some of the text in an ad that you would like to add to your profile in JSL. While the text is selected click or select the favorite in Internet Explorer or bookmark in mozilla based browsers like Firefox. An ad will be created in JobSearchLog with the text you had selected as the actual ad, the title of the page you were selecting from as the job title and inserting the URL of the page the job is located on.
For example, if you selected the following text: ABC Corp. is looking for a administrative assistant….. on a page titled ABC Corp. Admin Asst from web page http://www.abccorp.com. If you click or select the JSL favorite you would have a title, url and the text of the ad inserted into an Ad record in your profile.
In Firefox you have the added capability to add tags to the ad by saving the bookmarklet as a link and assign a keyword to the bookmark. Type the bookmark name in the address bar with the words you would like to use for tags which will appear in the comments for the ad when the ad is saved.
The really nice thing about this bookmark is that all processing should be done behind the scenes. All you should see is the browser window refresh for a second. You will also receive an email notification with the job details sent to the email address associated with your JobSearchLog account.
I hope you will find this new tool useful in your job search efforts. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with questions or suggestions.

The numbers are in. Right now on a good day, Firefox Usage is only at about 10% of the total browser types used for the day. I changed the pages for JobSearchLog.com to change the way links work.

I am using browser detection to determine if the user is using Internet Explorer or not. If they are, the links will target the originating page. Otherwise a new tab is created for most links. This allows easier copying and pasting among other capabilities.
I am far from excited about having to make the change, but my fear is that it could be confusing IE users when so many windows are opened.

At this point, I shouldn't be having these hassles getting letters to be sent as emails. I didn't even change anything about how the emails were generated.
I am just so frustrated right now. Thank god for chocolate.
I am always surpised that more emphasis hasn't been placed about how much easier it is to use Firefox for job search than the "other" browser.
On my site where users collect and organize the jobs they apply for, create and send custom cover and cold call letters and report on their job search activities I recommend that they all use Firefox.
I suggest they bookmarks their favorite searches, open up individual jobs in separate tabs, and use the AutoCopy Extension to make it easier to bring the job information into my pages.
I think showing how much easier it is to use Firefox than the other alternatives for specific endeavors like Job Search is going to be very important to continue the meteoric rate of growth for Firefox.
