It keeps amazing me that I keep seeing people use robots.txt files to prevent sites from being indexed and thus showing up in the search engines. You know why it keeps amazing me? Because robots.txt doesn''t actually do the latter, even though it does prevent your site from being indexed.
Let''s go through some terms here:
Indexed / Indexing
Ranking / Listing / Showing
So, while the most common process goes from Indexing to Listing, a site doesn''t have to be indexed to be listed. If a link points at a page, domain or wherever, that link will be followed. If the robots.txt on that domain prevents the search engine from indexing that page, it''ll still show the URL in the results if it can gather from other variables that it might be worth looking at.
If my explanation above doesn''t make sense, have a look at Matt Cutt''s video explanation:
So, if you want to effectively hide pages from the search engines, and this might seem contradictory, you need them to index those pages. Why? Because when they index those pages, you can tell them not to List them. There''s two ways of doing that: by using robots meta tags, like this (and I''ve got an article on
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"/>
The issue with a tag like that is that you have to add it to each and every page. That''s why the search engines came up with the X-Robots-Tag, and set the value as you would the meta robots tags value. The cool thing about this is that you can do it for an entire site. So, if your site is running on Apache, and mod_headers is enabled (it usually is), you could add the following single line to your .htaccess file:
Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex, nofollow"
And it''d have the effect that that entire site can be indexed, but will never be shown in the search results. So, get rid of that robots.txt file with Disallow: / in it, and use the X-Robots-Tag instead!

While preparing my previous post on new features in WordPress 2.9, I ran across
Aaron Campbell and Denis de Bernardy, both well respected WordPress developers come to a surprisingly simple way of doing that without core needing any patching. To use it, you only have to change the prefix of the function and the sub dir to use:
add_filter(''upload_dir'', ''my_upload_dir'');\n$upload = wp_upload_dir();\nremove_filter(''upload_dir'', ''my_upload_dir'');\n \nfuncion my_upload_dir($upload) {\n $upload[''subdir''] = ''/sub-dir-to-use'' . $upload[''subdir''];\n $upload[''path''] = $upload[''basedir''] . $upload[''subdir''];\n $upload[''url''] = $upload[''baseurl''] . $upload[''subdir''];\n return $upload;\n}

Another quick tip to help you optimize your site: sometimes you want to load one or more images in a post in a nice
I decided, that the only time I want Thickbox to load, is when I manually add class="thickbox" to the code of a post or page. So I wrote up a little script that checks for that, and loads Thickbox if needed. Now you need to know that to make Thickbox work, you need to load both a script and a css file, so the complete code is the following:
function yst_conditional_thickbox() {\n global $post;\n if (is_singular() && \n strpos($post->post_content,''class="thickbox"'') !== false) {\n wp_enqueue_script(''thickbox'');\n wp_enqueue_style(''thickbox'');\n }\n}\nadd_action(''wp_print_styles'',''yst_conditional_thickbox'');
This code should go into your themes functions.php file. Let''s explain it a bit: the function checks whether the content of the post contains the text class="thickbox". If it finds this text, it enqueues both the Thickbox script and CSS file. The add_action "hooks" this function to a WordPress hook. I use the wp_print_styles hook here, because that executes in the head, and makes sure both the stylesheet and the script file get loaded properly.
Now of course there''s nicer ways of doing this, like making it into a full regex to see if class="thickbox" is actually set on a link, to prevent it from loading on a post like this one, which doesn''t have a thickboxed image in it, but does contain the text. But let''s be honest, how often is that really the case? This simple conditional load means you can use Thickbox when you need it, but you''re not making your users download Thickbox all the time when you''re only using it in 5% of your posts.
Let me know in the comments if this works for you, and which other things you think you should load conditionally, to make your blog a bit faster and more userfriendly!

I was upgrading a WordPress MU site we work on and came across an annoying issue: core update wouldn''t work the way it''s supposed to. I got the following error:

Just moments ago, WordPress 3.0.2 was released to the public. This version is a mandatory security upgrade. According to the release notes:
\n\nThis maintenance release fixes a moderate security issue that could allow a malicious Author-level user to gain further access to the site, addresses a handful of bugs, and provides some additional security enhancements.
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen one of these types of releases. However, thanks to automatic upgrades built in, upgrading is a pretty easy thing to do.
\nWordPress 3.0.2 is available and is a mandatory security update for all previous WordPress versions. Haiku has become traditional:
\nFixed on day zero
\nOne-click update makes you safe
\nThis used to be hard
This maintenance release fixes a moderate security issue that could allow a malicious Author-level user to gain further access to the site, addresses a handful of bugs, and provides some additional security enhancements. Big thanks to Vladimir Kolesnikov for detailed and responsible disclosure of the security issue!
\nDownload 3.0.2 or update automatically from the Dashboard > Updates menu in your site’s admin area.

You can listen to the full interview and associated discussion on episode 106 of WordPress Weekly. However, one of the things that came out of that show was the need for community volunteers to help out in the reviewing process. After speaking with Edward, he accepted my request to write a guest blog post explaining how people can contribute to the theme review team.
\n\nThe following was written by Edward Caissie, member of the newly established theme review team.
How do I get involved with the WordPress Theme Review Team (WPTRT)?
\nIt’s really rather simple. Just follow these steps below.
Of course, there is more to reviewing Themes as part of the WPTRT, the above is just how you get started.
\nLet’s have a quick look through these steps.
\nWe expect that sometime during this process you have thoroughly familiarized yourself with the Theme Review guidelines as well as a few other relevant pages in the codex. Here are the links to the pages I always recommend reading:
\nNB: Just in case, I would suggest reading these pages at least once a week, although generally our intent is to not have them change very often.
\nAlso, you should create yourself a test-bed installation; import the Theme Unit Test data (from the link above); and, install the following few very useful plugins:
\nI also suggest installing a plugin that writes viewable text to ‘wp_footer()‘ for testing as well, if you do not have your own preference you are welcome to download and install my BNS Login plugin.
\nNow, you might be asking why would I want to join the WPTRT?
\nThere are many reasons and many ways to get involved with the WordPress community. This one will offer you: insight into how the Theme submission process works; the opportunity to influence positive change in the Theme Review guidelines; a wealth of new ideas and code possibilities; and, interactions with some of the best and the brightest current Theme authors involved with the WordPress Themes repository.

It’s not that the terrorist picks an attack and we pick a defense, and we see who wins. It’s that we pick a defense, and then the terrorists look at our defense and pick an attack designed to get around it. Our security measures only work if we happen to guess the plot correctly. If we get it wrong, we’ve wasted our money. This isn’t security; it’s security theater.

Over the course of time, I imagine that most of the needs and wants of end users change. For example, after performing a fresh install of WordPress, you realize that you need a way to conduct polls, have the poll data reflected in the post, etc. Then, a year later, you find out that polls are no longer a necessary item to have on the site so you decide to remove the plugin. However, you notice that after you deactivate the plugin, the data disappears along with it. This is precisely what happens with the WP-Polls plugin. Once the plugin has been deactivated (not removed) instead of the polling data shown within the post, it’s replaced with the poll ID shortcode which is used to display the poll.
This one example has me wondering how many users out there are experiencing something similar with a WordPress plugin? In the example I described above, I could take screenshots of the polls that contain the poll data and substitute that for the poll ID but that’s too much of a hassle. I could also not care about the loss of polling data but that would end up making a handful of posts which have a great discussion surrounding the results irrelevant.
\nOver the course of 2 years, I’ve managed to have 32 activated plugins on my website, each with a particular role. Some add features, others work in the background to make things easier. Yet, I use a few plugins that either alter the way my content is displayed or enables additional content that if those plugins were removed, the content would be removed as well.
\nI’m all for plugins being able to have an uninstall feature that removes them entirely from WordPress, including the database but in this instance, I want to keep the content associated with the plugin while removing everything else. Any suggestions on how to do this? Better yet, what would a plugin author have to do to make sure that the content generated by the plugin is stored in WordPress and not somewhere else? It seems to me that the last-ditch option and the one that may be most convenient is to not do anything at all. Pretend the polling plugin is not there and hope it continues to work into the future as I continually upgrade WordPress. This leads me to my next question.
\nHow many of you have come to rely on a particular plugin for your website. A plugin that you considered to be a crucial part of the way your site functions only to see that plugin disappear, stop working, or development ceased. What did you end up doing? I realize there are a ton of WordPress plugins in the repository but some plugins are harder to replace than others. Let me know in the comments.
\nVersion 2.6.2 of the WordPress app for iOS devices was not quite the salvation we hoped it would be. While it solves some of the issues presented in earlier versions of the app, many of you are still experiencing problems that make the app difficult to use. Therefore, starting today, the entire team is going to focus on fixing these issues and hopefully ship improvements to you a lot faster.
\nThanks to the crash reporting system built into 2.6.2 we now have a deeper understanding around some of the crashes, and therefore we’ve been working on a Crash Fix release which we’re hoping to submit to the app store shortly.
\nThe single most valuable thing that has helped us understand the problems in the app, however, is the feedback from all of you guys. Keep it coming!
\nIf you’re still experiencing problems, please let us know about it in the WordPress for iOS Forums. We’re trying to keep up with all your posts.

The Guardian has a great article online which features numerous quotes from PollDaddy co-founder and project lead David Lenehan on various business aspects of PollDaddy. In the article which is more like an interview, we learn that the company has been cash flow positive since the beginning with revenues doubling since they’ve started. When it comes to competition, there are less polling services available now then there were when PollDaddy launched. The biggest reason for selling to Automattic?
\n“It was more down to Automattic as a company.” said David Lenehan, now product lead for PollDaddy at Automattic. “We weren’t fussed about selling at the time and had lots of people that could have approached us that wouldn’t have raised our interest. But Automattic then only had 20 staff and an exciting product including WordPress.com, and our software was used a lot – 30-40% of our users were using WordPress.
\n“It was an opportunity to become part of something bigger and more exciting. It was the right offer at the right time – and Lehman Brothers was collapsing at that time, so it seemed a good idea.”
What a great acquisition that turned out to be for Automattic. Not only is PollDaddy still steaming along, but it’s a platform agnostic service meaning it’s not tied specifically to WordPress in order to use it. While I’m a big fan of Lester Chans WP-Polls plugin, the fact that he is concentrating on other aspects of his life right now has me considering polling alternatives such as PollDaddy. The only problem I have is that I need to leave WP-Polls in place in order to keep the data associated with it. If I could some how find a migration tool from WP-Polls into PollDaddy, I’m pretty sure I’d make the switch. Let me know if you know of one. I’m also curious to hear your thoughts on the PollDaddy service.
\nCongratulations to Michael Kuhlmann on the release of the Hope child theme for Carrington Business.
\n
This commercial WordPress theme is a little different than most:
\n\nBy purchasing the Hope child theme for the Carrington Business theme framework, you’re actively helping communities in developing countries by supplying them with the basic necessities we take for granted everyday — clean water, food, an education. All proceeds (100%) from this theme will go directly to World Vision.
What a wonderful idea, thanks Michael!

If all goes well, we hope to release WordPress 3.1 to the world at large by the end of the year, though that is (as always) subject to change/dependent on how the beta period goes. The more help we get with testing and fixing bugs, the sooner we will be able to release the final version.
\nIf you want to be a beta tester, you should check out the Codex article on how to report bugs. Some of the new features to check out include:
\nThere are also some known issues: things that aren’t *quite* finished, but that weren’t worth holding up the beta release. They will be fixed before 3.1 is released for general use. Note that as things get fixed, the beta release will update nightly. What you should know:
\nRemember, if you find something you think is a bug, report it! You can bring it up in the alpha/beta forum, you can email it to the wp-testers list, or if you’ve confirmed that other people are experiencing the same bug, you can report it on the WordPress Core Trac. (I recommend starting in the forum or on the mailing list.)
\nTheme and plugin authors, if you haven’t been following the 3.1, please start now so that you can update your themes and plugins to be compatible with the newest version of WordPress.
\nNote to developers: WordPress is built by the contributions of hundreds of developers. If you’d like to see this release come out on time, I encourage you to pitch in. Even if you don’t have time to do testing on the beta version, you could help us by contributing a fix for one of the many bugs we already know about.
\nTo those of you in the U.S., have a lovely long holiday weekend, and if you’re looking for something to occupy your post-turkey hours, we hope you’ll take the beta for a spin!

\nSome of the blogs in this collection used the Sandbox theme (practically a blank slate) to build their unique design using nothing but their own CSS, but some have used their Custom CSS upgrade to build extensively on top of existing fully designed themes.

If so, you’ll now be able to test two different headlines per post using the newly released Headline Split Tester plugin developed by bhalliburton and peterbessman. The plugin is incredibly simple to use. Once installed, a new meta box is added to the post creation/editing page where you can enter an alternative headline.
\n
As you can see via the screenshot, you’ll be able to view the total number of impressions the article has along with the number of clicks each headline has received. By default, the total number of impressions an article needs to have is 250 before a headline is chosen. This can be changed via the plugin options. In fact, it’s the only option this plugin has.
\nWhat’s cool about this particular plugin is that it was created by these two individuals over a weekend at the Baltimore Hackathon during November 19th-21st 2010. Initial inspiration for the plugin came in the form of a post that mentioned the fact that the Huffington Post makes writers write multiple headlines for every article.
\nI have a feeling that many of you content producers out there will enjoy this simple little plugin. However, if you find that you need a little more in the way of A/B testing for WordPress, check out the ShrimpTest project that is being written by Mitcho of Automattic. There is not much in the way of information on the front page which is why you should check out the ShrimpTest docs page to get started.

I’ve just released a new version and the biggest change in this one is the addition of Content Delivery Network (CDN) support thanks to Mark Kubacki who allowed me to integrate his OSSDL CDN Off Linker plugin. (Please go visit his blog and say thank you if you use this feature!)
The CDN support simply rewrites images, CSS and Javascript files so they point at a different hostname. That hostname can be another virtual host on your own server (aka “Poor Man’s CDN”) pointing at your WordPress install or a fully fledged CDN. If your CDN supports “origin pull” then all the files on your server will be copied there as they are requested by visitors. Otherwise you’ll have to transfer the files over manually.
Apart from that, bugs have been fixed, a few features have been tweaked including the uninstall script which has been streamlined somewhat.
I also added links (on the “Easy” settngs page) to some plugins and tools you may find useful in making your site run faster.
Problems? Go to the forum and someone may already have had that problem and solved it. If not, post there and you’ll get a reply.

According to Matt Mullenweg who made a visit to the Forbes offices recently, it’s all about the author. That’s the phrase that was heard repeatedly as he conversed with the Forbes team. Lewis then talks about why they chose to go with WordPress when revamping the True/Slant website:
\nTrue/Slant was also about the author — just as Forbes has been for 93 years. At T/S, easy-to-use WordPress tools enabled our contributors to do what they loved to do: create content. They freely self-published 100 to 125 posts a day, sometimes more.
When you stop to take a look at the development of WordPress over the past few years, it’s hard to argue that most of the improvements have NOT been centered around the author. Just a few author specific features that have occurred recently are: Post Revisions, continually improving media management system, Quickpress, word count, quick edit, reply to comments from the back-end, and although not directly in the core of WordPress itself, the acquisition of After The Deadline. As Matt was quoted in the article, even their acquisitions deal with the author. It’s this dedication that has propelled WordPress to be the most popular publishing platform in use today. Yes, there are other factors that go into the popularity of WordPress but I’d say the ease of use along with the ease of publishing content is a large majority of its popularity.

For some folks, this feature is pretty important. Like the built-in feature, there is a nice type-ahead search to allow you to easily find the post/page you wish to link to.
\nI’d built this feature quite a while back, but seeing the interest in it was enough to get me to spend the time to get it released. I hope people find it useful

\nYesterday, Andrew Nacin celebrated his first full year of WordPress contributions. To quote Nacin, “It’s been one hell of a ride, and I don’t intend to slow down.”
\nNacin’s WordPress career began on November 16th of 2009 with an almost insignificant twelve-character patch. Just three months and about a hundred patches later, Nacin was asked to become a WordPress core developer. Fast-forward to today, Nacin is one of the most recognized core developers with about seven hundred contributions and six WordCamp presentations under his name.
\nWhen not contributing to WordPress, Nacin can often be found blogging about WordPress, tweeting about WordPress, publicly speaking about WordPress, supporting WordPress, editing a book on WordPress plugin development, working on the WordPress Core Contributor Handbook, and dodging a humorous onslaught of #blamenacin tweets.
\nSo, how did Nacin learn to contribute to WordPress?
\n\nI learn first by reading, and second by doing. If you want to contribute, I strongly encourage it. More important is when you submit that first bug report or patch, not necessarily when it makes it into WordPress — it’s a community effort, and that first step is important.
Do you want to be the next Andrew Nacin? All you need to do is start contributing to WordPress. Even if you don’t know how to work with the code, the community could always use your help with the Support Forums and documentation.
\nHappy WordPress birthday, Andrew Nacin! We really appreciate everything you do for this awesome blogging platform!

\nI like neologisms. We need new words because we have new ideas, and ideas are the only things that break the law of the conservation of energy. Where once there was nothing there now is something, and the history of the neologism is a history of those moments of pure creation. ‘Gamification’, that said, can go take a long walk off a short pier.

\nPremiering with WordPress 3.1 some time next month, Post Formats is one of the most talked about and often confusing of the new features. The documentation is beginning to take shape, and a list of Post Formats is being finalized, so what is a Post Format?
\nThink of Post Formats like categories, but more from a design standpoint than an organizational one. Basically, Post Formats offer a microblogging-style way to assign a specific style to your post based on content. So far, Post Formats are available for asides, audio, chat transcripts, galleries, links, quotes, single images, status updates, and videos. What that means is, if your theme takes advantage of these Post Formats, you will have any easy way to display each format with a unique style. As Otto illustrates, Matt Mullenweg has done this for some time.
\nMany themes have brought similar functionality tied to specific categories, but what happens when you switch themes? You either need to find one that provides unique styles for the same categories, or you need to deal with the loss of your unique styles. Post Formats are built into the core and standardized across the platform. As long as each theme you use supports Post Formats, your posts will continue to carry on a unique style.
\nBut, don’t we have Custom Post Types already built into the core? Why, yes we do, but they aren’t what you think. To quote Mark Jaquith, “These were poorly named. Think: Custom Content Types.” The so-called Custom Post Types were really designed for things that you never wanted to be associated with posts in the first place, like pages, products, and job listings. Post Formats are designed to simply offer a unique style that highlights the featured content of a post. A link-formatted post will feature just a link and maybe a brief description, an asides-formatted post will feature no title and a few sentences, an image-formatted post will clearly place the image at the fore-front of the post itself, a quote-formatted post will clearly show that the content is quoted and clearly display a source, etc.
\nAs John James Jacoby explains, this feature has come a long way since Post Types were first introduced in WordPress 2.0, and there’s no doubt that it will be one of the highlights of WordPress 3.1.
\nWhat do you think of the new Post Formats feature? Will you be making use of it on your blog?
\nWordPress 3.0.2 is available and is a mandatory security update for all previous WordPress versions. Haiku has become traditional:
\nFixed on day zero
\nOne-click update makes you safe
\nThis used to be hard
This maintenance release fixes a moderate security issue that could allow a malicious Author-level user to gain further access to the site, addresses a handful of bugs, and provides some additional security enhancements. Big thanks to Vladimir Kolesnikov for detailed and responsible disclosure of the security issue!
\nDownload 3.0.2 or update automatically from the Dashboard > Updates menu in your site’s admin area.

\nIf you want to be a beta tester, you should check out the Codex article on how to report bugs. Some of the new features to check out include:
\nThere are also some known issues: things that aren’t *quite* finished, but that weren’t worth holding up the beta release. They will be fixed before 3.1 is released for general use. Note that as things get fixed, the beta release will update nightly. What you should know:
\nRemember, if you find something you think is a bug, report it! You can bring it up in the alpha/beta forum, you can email it to the wp-testers list, or if you’ve confirmed that other people are experiencing the same bug, you can report it on the WordPress Core Trac. (I recommend starting in the forum or on the mailing list.)
\nTheme and plugin authors, if you haven’t been following the 3.1, please start now so that you can update your themes and plugins to be compatible with the newest version of WordPress.
\nNote to developers: WordPress is built by the contributions of hundreds of developers. If you’d like to see this release come out on time, I encourage you to pitch in. Even if you don’t have time to do testing on the beta version, you could help us by contributing a fix for one of the many bugs we already know about.
\nTo those of you in the U.S., have a lovely long holiday weekend, and if you’re looking for something to occupy your post-turkey hours, we hope you’ll take the beta for a spin!

\nThere are also numerous bugfixes and performance enhancements in this release, so if you haven’t been using the app lately, you should consider giving it another try. I’m personally pretty excited to start using the iPhone version more often now that there are all these fixes and new features. Especially the video upload. You know, for those creative moments that make life fun.
You can read the full 2.6 release post on the WordPress for iOS blog, and can download v2.6 from iTunes/the app store. Happy mobile blogging!

We want users to have flexibility when choosing a host for their precious content. Because of this strategy, WordPress runs pretty much anywhere. Web hosting platforms, however, change over time, and we occasionally are able to reevaluate some of the requirements for running WordPress. Now is one of those times. You probably guessed it from the title — we’re finally ready to announce the end of support for PHP 4 and MySQL 4!
\nFirst up, the announcement that developers really care about. WordPress 3.1, due in late 2010, will be the last version of WordPress to support PHP 4.
\nFor WordPress 3.2, due in the first half of 2011, we will be raising the minimum required PHP version to 5.2. Why 5.2? Because that’s what the vast majority of WordPress users are using, and it offers substantial improvements over earlier PHP 5 releases. It is also the minimum PHP version that the Drupal and Joomla projects will be supporting in their next versions, both due out this year.
\nThe numbers are now, finally, strongly in favor of this move. Only around 11 percent of WordPress installs are running on a PHP version below 5.2. Many of them are on hosts who support PHP 5.2 — users merely need to change a setting in their hosting control panel to activate it. We believe that percentage will only go down over the rest of the year as hosting providers realize that to support the newest versions of WordPress (or Drupal, or Joomla), they’re going to have to pull the trigger.
\nIn less exciting news, we are also going to be dropping support for MySQL 4 after WordPress 3.1. Fewer than 6 percent of WordPress users are running MySQL 4. The new required MySQL version for WordPress 3.2 will be 5.0.15.
\nWordPress users will not be able to upgrade to WordPress 3.2 if their hosting environment does not meet these requirements (the built-in updater will prevent it). In order to determine which versions your host provides, we’ve created the Health Check plugin. You can download it manually, or use this handy plugin installation tool I whipped up. Right now, Health Check will only tell you if you’re ready for WordPress 3.2. In a future release it will provide all sorts of useful information about your server and your WordPress install, so hang on to it!
\nIn summary: WordPress 3.1, due in late 2010, will be the last version of WordPress to support PHP 4 and MySQL 4. WordPress 3.2, due in the first half of 2011, will require PHP 5.2 or higher, and MySQL 5.0.15 or higher. Install the Health Check plugin to see if you’re ready!

\nThe WordPress community’s growth over the years has been tremendous, and we want to reinvest in it. So we’re taking the next two months to concentrate on improving WordPress.org. A major part of that will be improving the infrastructure of the plugins directory. More than 10,000 plugins are in the directory, every one of them GPL compatible and free as in both beer and speech. Here’s what we have in mind:
\nWe want to provide developers the tools they need to build the best possible plugins. We’re going to provide better integration with the forums so you can support your users. We’ll make more statistics available to you so you can analyze your user base, and over time we hope to make it easier for you to manage, build, and release localized plugins.
\nWe want to improve how the core software works with your plugin and the plugin directory. We’re going to focus on ensuring seamless upgrades by making the best possible determinations about compatibility, and offer continual improvements to the plugin installer. And we also want to give you a better developer tool set like SVN notifications and improvements to the bug tracker.
\nWe’re also going to experiment with other great ideas to help the community help plugin authors. We want it to be easy for you to offer comments to plugin authors and the community, including user reviews and better feedback. We may experiment with an adoption process for abandoned plugins as a way to revitalize hidden gems in the directory. I’m not sure there is a better way to show how extendable WordPress is and how awesome this community is at the same time.
\nAs Matt said in the 3.0 release announcement, our goal isn’t to make everything perfect all at once. But we think incremental improvements can provide us with a great base for 3.1 and beyond, and for the tens of millions of users, and hundreds of millions of plugin downloads to come.

Here are the WordCamps scheduled for this summer, along with what I know about them.
\nJuly 3: WordCamp Germany – Berlin, Germany. I love it that they’re using BuddyPress for their event site. They have multiple tracks, and what looks to be a nice variety of sessions. It’s only a few days away, so if you’re thinking of going, get your tickets now!
\nJuly 10: WordCamp Boulder – Boulder, Colorado, USA. This was WordCamp Denver last year, but the organizers have decided to mix it up and go back and forth between Denver and Boulder, which also has a thriving tech community. This year the venue is the Boulder Theater (so pretty!), and there will sessions for bloggers and devs alike, plus a Genius Bar to help people get their WordPress sites all fixed up. The speaker lineup looks good, and I hear they’re pumping up the wifi this year. I’ll be there, likely hunched over a notebook with Lisa Sabin-Wilson (author of WordPress for Dummies and BuddyPress for Dummies) to talk about the WordPress User Handbook project, and/or hunched over a sketchbook with Kevin Conboy (designed the new lighter “on” state for admin menus in WordPress 3.0) to work out a new default WordCamp.org theme (using BuddyPress). You can still get tickets!
\nJuly 17–18: WordCamp UK- Manchester, England, UK. The roving WordCamp UK will be in Manchester this year, and is probably the closest to BarCamp style of all the WordCamps, using a wiki to plan some speakers/sessions and organizing the rest ad-hoc on the first day of the event. I’ll be attending this one as well, and am looking forward to seeing WordPress lead developer Peter Westwood again. I’m also looking forward to meeting some core contributors for the first time in person, like Simon Wheatley and John O’Nolan. Mike Little, co-founder of WordPress, is on the organizing team of WordCamp UK. Tickets on sale now!
\nJuly 24: WordCamp Nigeria – Lagos, Nigeria. Their site seems to have a virus, so no link from here, but if you’re in Nigeria and interested in attending/getting involved, a quick Google search will get you to the organizers.
\nAugust 7: WordCamp Houston – Houston, TX, USA. Houston, Texas, birthplace of WordPress! Fittingly, Matt Mullenweg will be there to give the keynote. WordCamp Houston is running three tracks — Business, Blogger and Developer — in recognition of the fact that people who are interested in using WordPress for their business may not actually be bloggers or developers themselves. This used to get labeled as a “CMS” track at previous WordCamps (including NYC 2009), but with WordPress 3.0 supporting CMS functionality out of the box, “Business” is a much more appropriate label. Who wants to bet on if there will be BBQ for lunch?
\nAugust 7 : WordCamp Iowa – Des Moines, Iowa, USA. Another placeholder page. Happening, not happening? I’ve emailed the organizer and will update this post once I know more.
\nAugust 7–8: WordCamp New Zealand – Auckland, New Zealand. They haven’t announced this year’s speakers or topics, but they’ve been running polls to get community input into the program. Of note: in 2011 WordCamp New Zealand will be shifting seasons and will be in February instead, when the weather is nicer.
\nAugust 20–22: WordCamp Savannah – Savannah, Georgia, USA. Disclaimer: I am completely biased about Savannah, since I’m one of the organizers. This will be the first WordCamp in Savannah, and it’s being held at the Savannah College of Art and Design River Club, an awesome venue that used to be a cotton warehouse or something like that. Since Savannah doesn’t really have a cohesive WordPress community yet (though a fair number of people from Savannah attended WordCamp Atlanta earlier this year), this WordCamp is aimed squarely at building a local community. We’ll have a local meet-and-greet, regular sessions with visiting speakers (lots of core contributors coming to this one, plus Matt), and on Sunday it will be combination unconference/genius bar/collaborative workspace. Oh, and a potluck! We’ll also be running a pre-WordCamp workshop for people who have never used WordPress but want to get started, so that they’ll be able to follow the presentations and conversations littered with WordPress-specific vocabulary over the weekend. Ticket sales just opened, so get your tickets now.
\nFor a schedule of all upcoming WordCamps, visit wordcamp.org. The autumn schedule is already packed! If you don’t see WordCamp in your area and are interested in organizing one, get more information and let us know.

This is all offered for a fraction of the cost of traditional recruiting methods, and in a shorter period of time.\r\n\r\nWe feel a resume can only tell you a fraction about a candidate.

Have you prepared your self for the interview? They are always a tricky event and one wrong answer to hiring questions could cost you your dream job...or jobs. Is the interview going to be face to face? Will it be one-on-one or is it a panel interview? You have to be ready for anything. And, the only way to be ready for anything is to practice. Spend time preparing.\r\n\r\nMany companies are now using behavioral questions like "please describe a time where you experienced conflict and how you handled it." These kinds of questions enable them to know how a person would behave in pressure situations. Past actions are generally a good indication of future actions, particularly in jobs.\r\n\r\nHiring questions can be very tricky and at times, surprising. An interviewer once asked me to tell them a joke. I laughed out loud because I thought he was kidding. He laughed back, but sadly, the question was real. I am not one with an arsenal of jokes at in the back of my head so I had to think of one really fast.\r\n\r\nA friend of mine, who I play golf with during the weekends, always tells a joke that he dubbed "the holy trinity". I did not want to tell the joke because it was not for the female audience and there were two women on the panel. But I didn''t have anything else in mind so I had to tell it.\r\n\r\nI explained what the joke was about before I began telling it, partly to get approval to continue and not lose my chances of getting hired. I saw that they were interested so I told the joke and luckily they were humorous enough and started chuckling. While I did not get the job, it was because of over qualification. In fact they told me they liked how I acted quickly on my feet. The whole point, I was told, was to see my response under an unusual pressure and potentially uncomfortable situation.\r\n\r\nSince then I always try to think of unusual hiring questions and then I practice answering them. I also spend time with clients completing this exercise.

What is the most difficult decision you''ve ever had to make?\r\n\r\n2. What is your approach when you have too much work?\r\n\r\n3. How well do you work on a team?\r\n\r\n4.

They are always a tricky event and one wrong answer to hiring questions could cost you your dream job...or jobs. Is the interview going to be face to face? Will it be one-on-one or is it a panel interview? You have to be ready for anything. And, the only way to be ready for anything is to practice. Spend time preparing.\r\n\r\nMany companies are now using behavioral questions like "please describe a time where you experienced conflict and how you handled it." These kinds of questions enable them to know how a person would behave in pressure situations. Past actions are generally a good indication of future actions, particularly in jobs.\r\n\r\nHiring questions can be very tricky and at times, surprising. An interviewer once asked me to tell them a joke. I laughed out loud because I thought he was kidding. He laughed back, but sadly, the question was real. I am not one with an arsenal of jokes at in the back of my head so I had to think of one really fast.\r\n\r\nA friend of mine, who I play golf with during the weekends, always tells a joke that he dubbed "the holy trinity". I did not want to tell the joke because it was not for the female audience and there were two women on the panel. But I didn''t have anything else in mind so I had to tell it.\r\n\r\nI explained what the joke was about before I began telling it, partly to get approval to continue and not lose my chances of getting hired. I saw that they were interested so I told the joke and luckily they were humorous enough and started chuckling. While I did not get the job, it was because of over qualification. In fact they told me they liked how I acted quickly on my feet. The whole point, I was told, was to see my response under an unusual pressure and potentially uncomfortable situation.\r\n\r\nSince then I always try to think of unusual hiring questions and then I practice answering them. I also spend time with clients completing this exercise. You never know what kind of question you''ll face during a job interview.\r\n\r\nYou won''t be the right fit for all the jobs that you like, but it is still good to be prepared for any hiring questions.\r\n\r\nHere are 9 hiring question to begin practicing:\r\n\r\n1. What is the most difficult decision you''ve ever had to make?\r\n\r\n2. What is your approach when you have too much work?\r\n\r\n3. How well do you work on a team?\r\n\r\n4. How did you handle an assignment that you disagreed with?\r\n\r\n5. How did you solve a personal confrontation with a colleague?\r\n\r\n6. What do you know about our company and our competitors?\r\n\r\n7. What are the 2 things that you don''t like about your previous job?\r\n\r\n8. How did believe your last job prepared you for this one?\r\n\r\n9. And take a joke with you.\r\n\r\nHiring questions will get you that dream job you''ve always wanted, so preparing for them is extremely important. Practice answering these questions with a friend and ask them to criticize your answers.

This is all offered for a fraction of the cost of traditional recruiting methods, and in a shorter period of time.\r\n\r\nWe feel a resume can only tell you a fraction about a candidate.

I have hired entry level, technical, administrative, operational and executive positions in large and small companies. The industries cover manufacturing, service and consumer industries. I have seen thousands of resumes.\r\n\r\nThe situation typically looks like this; there are specific objectives to achieve for the company. Now picture this: as the hiring manager there is a vacancy and I need someone to take on that position. It may impact the objectives so the need is urgent. Human Resources place an ad or I contact a recruiter. Either way I typically end up with resumes. Regardless of whether they have been pared down or whether I see them all, there are key points that will make one stand out over another and compel me to look closer.\r\n\r\nKey #1\r\nIs it readable? Is it filled with fluff that is unimportant? Did the applicant waste my time and take up space making it more of a chore with an employment or career objective? There may be a reason why I should look closely at their resume; but it rarely matches the job for which they have applied. If the information is applicable to the position, I am more compelled to look at it closely.\r\n\r\nI am looking for useful information that may tell me the person is qualified for the position. It should compel me to want to talk to them. Facts tell me that, especially if they are clear, concise and pertain to the position.\r\n\r\nKey #2\r\nIs every position with every company listed with the month and year they started and completed or left the company? If I am suspicious of a gap then I automatically wonder what else they may not be forthright about. On the other hand, if I see a gap, I can easily ask about it and move forward. I do not care how many pages it takes if it gives me a more complete picture of the person''s career.\r\n\r\nKey#3\r\nWhat accomplishments have they had in each position over their career? Are they quantifiable? Did they impact directly or indirectly the bottom line of the company? Remember, I have objectives to achieve and I may see this person as a team member that will help that achievement. Even if not quantifiable, did they have a role in the success of the company or department?\r\n\r\nThe person that has supplied the right type and kind of information will get my attention every time. As a hiring manager, I am not looking for fluff but information that will give me hope that the resume''s owner can make an impact. If I see the potential, I will interview them.\r\n\r\nAbout Us\r\nKevin Sutton invites you to read more articles about careers, career information and learn about our training webinars for gaining the complete, essential skills for a successful job search.

There may be a reason why I should look closely at their resume; but it rarely matches the job for which they have applied.

If I am suspicious of a gap then I automatically wonder what else they may not be forthright about. On the other hand, if I see a gap, I can easily ask about it and move forward.

I have hired entry level, technical, administrative, operational and executive positions in large and small companies. The industries cover manufacturing, service and consumer industries. I have seen thousands of resumes.\r\n\r\nThe situation typically looks like this; there are specific objectives to achieve for the company. Now picture this: as the hiring manager there is a vacancy and I need someone to take on that position. It may impact the objectives so the need is urgent. Human Resources place an ad or I contact a recruiter. Either way I typically end up with resumes. Regardless of whether they have been pared down or whether I see them all, there are key points that will make one stand out over another and compel me to look closer.\r\n\r\nKey #1\r\nIs it readable?

The following four team player styles are not intended to be absolutes but rather preferences that people have towards how they work with others. Each style has a brief description of its strengths and weaknesses.\r\n\r\n1. The Doer is very task-oriented and action-focused. Give him a job and he''s happy. The Doer is good at research, reliable, meets deadlines, and produces good quality work. He operates by priorities and pushes the team towards higher performance. He can be effective at teaching technical skills.\r\n\r\nThe ''Doer'' dislikes uncertainty and ambiguity; is impatient; wants results immediately; can be too focused on data; is impulsive; strives for perfection; and tends to avoid risk. If the Doer is the leader, he must be must be especially careful of these weaknesses. One major problem can be a lack of trust in the team''s members. Moreover, he must be aware of others'' feelings and work at interpersonal and communication skills.\r\n\r\n2. The ''Visionary'' sees the big picture and likes ideas and concepts. She lets the team''s vision and mission be the driver. She doesn''t like getting bogged down in details, leaving these to the Doer. She believes strongly in teamwork and is good at helping others understand where they fit in to the larger picture.\r\n\r\nThe Visionary is a creative thinker and stimulates others in thinking about the future. She takes a cooperative and flexible approach to working with others. However, she must pay attention to her weaknesses. She has a tendency to ignore work in favour of conceptualizing and dreaming about the future. She can get hung up on process instead of results. And she may over-commit the team to setting too many objectives\r\n\r\nIf she is the leader, the Visionary has a lot to offer the team, especially in the area of long-term strategic thinking. But she must be aware of her weaknesses.\r\n\r\n3. The ''Feeler'' is a very strong context person, making sure that everyone is on board before proceeding with a task or project. He''s very aware of how others feel and is an excellent listener and facilitator. He''s skilled at resolving conflicts and won''t let stronger members dominate team discussions.\r\n\r\nThe Feeler must be careful not to push the soft stuff too hard (i.e., listening and feedback skills) if the team gets bogged down. He believes that interpersonal skills will solve all problems. And he can become a process fanatic, driving the others to distraction.\r\n\r\nIf he is the leader, the Feeler creates a participative atmosphere. But his people approach can be over- bearing and he must not lose sight that disputes are normal and healthy for teams.\r\n\r\n4. The ''Boat Rocker'' is open and direct with the other members of the team. She regularly challenges the team on such issues as methods used, goals, and team values. She won''t hesitate to disagree with the team''s leader or with management. She likes to take calculated risks. However, the Boat Rocker must be careful not to use her style for non-productive use. It''s necessary at times to let an issue drop. Moreover, she shouldn''t push the team to take unnecessary risks.\r\n\r\nAs the team''s leader, she''s good at promoting an atmosphere of trust and openness; innovation; and continuous learning. However, she needs to watch out for being too argumentative.\r\n\r\nThe Challenge\r\n\r\nEach of us has a personality preference to how we approach work, establish relationships with co-workers, and engage in collaborative learning. In the context of team players, the challenge is for each of us to understand our preferred style and to use it effectively. This means being constantly aware of the shadow (weak) aspects of our preferred style. Moreover, we must strive for balance by using all four styles in the appropriate settings.\r\n\r\nJames Taggart has been a student of leadership for over 15 years, and devoted over a decade to applied work in leadership development, organizational learning, and team building.

Each style has a brief description of its strengths and weaknesses.\r\n\r\n1. The Doer is very task-oriented and action-focused. Give him a job and he''s happy. The Doer is good at research, reliable, meets deadlines, and produces good quality work. He operates by priorities and pushes the team towards higher performance. He can be effective at teaching technical skills.\r\n\r\nThe ''Doer'' dislikes uncertainty and ambiguity; is impatient; wants results immediately; can be too focused on data; is impulsive; strives for perfection; and tends to avoid risk. If the Doer is the leader, he must be must be especially careful of these weaknesses. One major problem can be a lack of trust in the team''s members. Moreover, he must be aware of others'' feelings and work at interpersonal and communication skills.\r\n\r\n2. The ''Visionary'' sees the big picture and likes ideas and concepts. She lets the team''s vision and mission be the driver. She doesn''t like getting bogged down in details, leaving these to the Doer. She believes strongly in teamwork and is good at helping others understand where they fit in to the larger picture.\r\n\r\nThe Visionary is a creative thinker and stimulates others in thinking about the future. She takes a cooperative and flexible approach to working with others. However, she must pay attention to her weaknesses. She has a tendency to ignore work in favour of conceptualizing and dreaming about the future. She can get hung up on process instead of results. And she may over-commit the team to setting too many objectives\r\n\r\nIf she is the leader, the Visionary has a lot to offer the team, especially in the area of long-term strategic thinking. But she must be aware of her weaknesses.\r\n\r\n3. The ''Feeler'' is a very strong context person, making sure that everyone is on board before proceeding with a task or project. He''s very aware of how others feel and is an excellent listener and facilitator. He''s skilled at resolving conflicts and won''t let stronger members dominate team discussions.\r\n\r\nThe Feeler must be careful not to push the soft stuff too hard (i.e., listening and feedback skills) if the team gets bogged down. He believes that interpersonal skills will solve all problems. And he can become a process fanatic, driving the others to distraction.\r\n\r\nIf he is the leader, the Feeler creates a participative atmosphere. But his people approach can be over- bearing and he must not lose sight that disputes are normal and healthy for teams.\r\n\r\n4. The ''Boat Rocker'' is open and direct with the other members of the team. She regularly challenges the team on such issues as methods used, goals, and team values. She won''t hesitate to disagree with the team''s leader or with management. She likes to take calculated risks. However, the Boat Rocker must be careful not to use her style for non-productive use. It''s necessary at times to let an issue drop. Moreover, she shouldn''t push the team to take unnecessary risks.\r\n\r\nAs the team''s leader, she''s good at promoting an atmosphere of trust and openness; innovation; and continuous learning. However, she needs to watch out for being too argumentative.\r\n\r\nThe Challenge\r\n\r\nEach of us has a personality preference to how we approach work, establish relationships with co-workers, and engage in collaborative learning. In the context of team players, the challenge is for each of us to understand our preferred style and to use it effectively. This means being constantly aware of the shadow (weak) aspects of our preferred style. Moreover, we must strive for balance by using all four styles in the appropriate settings.\r\n\r\nJames Taggart has been a student of leadership for over 15 years, and devoted over a decade to applied work in leadership development, organizational learning, and team building.

The following four team player styles are not intended to be absolutes but rather preferences that people have towards how they work with others. Each style has a brief description of its strengths and weaknesses.\r\n\r\n1. The Doer is very task-oriented and action-focused. Give him a job and he''s happy. The Doer is good at research, reliable, meets deadlines, and produces good quality work. He operates by priorities and pushes the team towards higher performance. He can be effective at teaching technical skills.\r\n\r\nThe ''Doer'' dislikes uncertainty and ambiguity; is impatient; wants results immediately; can be too focused on data; is impulsive; strives for perfection; and tends to avoid risk. If the Doer is the leader, he must be must be especially careful of these weaknesses. One major problem can be a lack of trust in the team''s members. Moreover, he must be aware of others'' feelings and work at interpersonal and communication skills.\r\n\r\n2. The ''Visionary'' sees the big picture and likes ideas and concepts. She lets the team''s vision and mission be the driver. She doesn''t like getting bogged down in details, leaving these to the Doer. She believes strongly in teamwork and is good at helping others understand where they fit in to the larger picture.\r\n\r\nThe Visionary is a creative thinker and stimulates others in thinking about the future. She takes a cooperative and flexible approach to working with others. However, she must pay attention to her weaknesses. She has a tendency to ignore work in favour of conceptualizing and dreaming about the future. She can get hung up on process instead of results. And she may over-commit the team to setting too many objectives\r\n\r\nIf she is the leader, the Visionary has a lot to offer the team, especially in the area of long-term strategic thinking. But she must be aware of her weaknesses.\r\n\r\n3. The ''Feeler'' is a very strong context person, making sure that everyone is on board before proceeding with a task or project. He''s very aware of how others feel and is an excellent listener and facilitator. He''s skilled at resolving conflicts and won''t let stronger members dominate team discussions.\r\n\r\nThe Feeler must be careful not to push the soft stuff too hard (i.e., listening and feedback skills) if the team gets bogged down. He believes that interpersonal skills will solve all problems. And he can become a process fanatic, driving the others to distraction.\r\n\r\nIf he is the leader, the Feeler creates a participative atmosphere. But his people approach can be over- bearing and he must not lose sight that disputes are normal and healthy for teams.\r\n\r\n4. The ''Boat Rocker'' is open and direct with the other members of the team. She regularly challenges the team on such issues as methods used, goals, and team values. She won''t hesitate to disagree with the team''s leader or with management. She likes to take calculated risks. However, the Boat Rocker must be careful not to use her style for non-productive use. It''s necessary at times to let an issue drop. Moreover, she shouldn''t push the team to take unnecessary risks.\r\n\r\nAs the team''s leader, she''s good at promoting an atmosphere of trust and openness; innovation; and continuous learning. However, she needs to watch out for being too argumentative.\r\n\r\nThe Challenge\r\n\r\nEach of us has a personality preference to how we approach work, establish relationships with co-workers, and engage in collaborative learning. In the context of team players, the challenge is for each of us to understand our preferred style and to use it effectively. This means being constantly aware of the shadow (weak) aspects of our preferred style. Moreover, we must strive for balance by using all four styles in the appropriate settings.\r\n\r\nJames Taggart has been a student of leadership for over 15 years, and devoted over a decade to applied work in leadership development, organizational learning, and team building.

I have hired entry level, technical, administrative, operational and executive positions in large and small companies. The industries cover manufacturing, service and consumer industries. I have seen thousands of resumes.\r\n\r\nThe situation typically looks like this; there are specific objectives to achieve for the company. Now picture this: as the hiring manager there is a vacancy and I need someone to take on that position. It may impact the objectives so the need is urgent. Human Resources place an ad or I contact a recruiter. Either way I typically end up with resumes. Regardless of whether they have been pared down or whether I see them all, there are key points that will make one stand out over another and compel me to look closer.\r\n\r\nKey #1\r\nIs it readable? Is it filled with fluff that is unimportant? Did the applicant waste my time and take up space making it more of a chore with an employment or career objective? There may be a reason why I should look closely at their resume; but it rarely matches the job for which they have applied. If the information is applicable to the position, I am more compelled to look at it closely.\r\n\r\nI am looking for useful information that may tell me the person is qualified for the position. It should compel me to want to talk to them. Facts tell me that, especially if they are clear, concise and pertain to the position.\r\n\r\nKey #2\r\nIs every position with every company listed with the month and year they started and completed or left the company? If I am suspicious of a gap then I automatically wonder what else they may not be forthright about. On the other hand, if I see a gap, I can easily ask about it and move forward. I do not care how many pages it takes if it gives me a more complete picture of the person''s career.\r\n\r\nKey#3\r\nWhat accomplishments have they had in each position over their career? Are they quantifiable? Did they impact directly or indirectly the bottom line of the company? Remember, I have objectives to achieve and I may see this person as a team member that will help that achievement. Even if not quantifiable, did they have a role in the success of the company or department?\r\n\r\nThe person that has supplied the right type and kind of information will get my attention every time. As a hiring manager, I am not looking for fluff but information that will give me hope that the resume''s owner can make an impact. If I see the potential, I will interview them.\r\n\r\nAbout Us\r\nKevin Sutton invites you to read more articles about careers, career information and learn about our training webinars for gaining the complete, essential skills for a successful job search.

If you want to get the job interview and the job real fast, your cover letters have to be amazing. Here are few effective tips you can follow to write amazing cover letters for your resume...\r\n\r\nTip #1 - Answer the purpose of the letter. You are writing the covering letter to land a job interview. Simply state that on your letter. Just tell them that you want the interview.\r\n\r\nTip # 2 Grab their Attention - Your letter should grab the attention of the reader. You may don''t know how but I''m going to show you. Don''t start your letter with the usual:\r\n\r\nNo Dear Sir/Madam - Be specific as possible. Address the letter to the person who has the power to hire you. Don''t send it to the Human Resources. Your letter will quickly land in the trash.\r\n\r\nAttention Grabbing Headlines - Before writing {Dear Name}, use an attention grabbing headline. Here are some examples of attention grabbing headlines. I shouldn''t be revealing these to you...\r\n\r\nI have researched {Company name} and believe that I am a great match for the {Job Title}\r\n\r\nThree reasons why I believe that I am the candidate you are searching for regarding the {Job Title}\r\n\r\nThese headlines will grab the attention of the reader instantly. They''ll instantly pick up the phone to call you. Do you know why? Because all other letters would suck. Your letter would be the only one to stand out. Even if your resume and your skills aren''t up to the mark, they''ll call you for the interview because you''ve stood out.\r\n\r\nCompanies want great leaders. They want outstanding people to work with them. They want experience as well as education to handle any problem or situation in the company. That''s why you''ll receive that call.\r\n\r\nTip #3 Write in the Present Continuous - Write your whole cover letter in the present continuous tense. Depending on the tenses you use while writing and talking, one call tell whether you are active or passive. So always write Active Sentences and be present minded enough to write and talk in the present tense.\r\n\r\nTip #4 Sells Yourself - Your letter must simply state that you are the best man for the job they are offering. Tell them that you did research about the company''s business practices, objectives and goals. Give them reasons to believe that you are the best man for the job. That''s all.

Put all memories of college job fairs out your mind and replace them with a HireLive job fair.\n\nIf you are ready to show up, meet hiring managers and the sit and talk with them about their open positions and how you would fit in their company, then this is a recruiting event you need to attend. HireLive career fairs have 15-25 Fortune 500 and industry leading companies who are looking for sales, retail and management job seekers. They attend these events because they have open positions that they need to fill now. Not only will job seekers meet the hiring managers, but most often they hold first interviews on-site.\n\nAre you worried about being just a resume when you attend? Don''t be. Companies attending HireLive events have private suite to conduct interviews in, so you aren''t just one of many standing in front of table. Recruiters and hiring managers have the time and opportunity to really get to know you and learn what value you can bring to their companies.\n\nUnsure about how to get their attention and leave a lasting impression? First, redo your resume and make sure it is perfect. There are many sites out there that can give you tips and specifics to make your resume shine and stand out, don''t be afraid to use these them. Wear a suit to the job fair. No hiring manager or recruiter will take you seriously if you show up in jeans and a t-shirt. If you want the job, than you need to let them know and look the part. Finally, research and learn about the companies attending. At a HireLive career fair you will receive a guide that will tell you what companies are attending and what positions they are filling, but you can also find this information out ahead of time on our Facebook, Twitter and MySpace accounts.\n\nOn March 9th and 10th HireLive will be in Orange County and Los Angeles helping job seekers land their next job and start their careers.
