Torquil Thomson commented on Maisha Cannon's blog post 'Boycott the Boards: A 7-Day Challenge for Frustrated Job Seekers'"Megan: thanks for your response. I take your point, but whenever I've been searching for work, the number of jobs that I applied for online would be no more than 5 per week (on good weeks).
My experience has been limited by the number of…"
Torquil Thomson commented on Maisha Cannon's blog post 'Boycott the Boards: A 7-Day Challenge for Frustrated Job Seekers'"Most of the advice you offer is helpful, but checking your favourite job boards shouldn't take more than 15-30 minutes every day. Surely it is a question of managing time effectively between all available resources?"
Torquil Thomson commented on Courtney Hunt's blog post 'Think Before You Dial: 3 Reasons Unplanned Phone Calls are a Poor Practice'"Great post Courtney! There are more communciation options now than ever before: mix-and-match works for me!"

Torquil Thomson commented on Amy Ala's blog post 'Thank You Notes are Passé and Other Interviewing Myths'"I agree with Samantha Lacey: I've never encountered such a thing this side of the Atlantic.

Torquil Thomson commented on Amy Ala's blog post 'Job searching is a lot like dating...'"Nice parallels, fresh angle: great read!"

(Although living on the Mediterrean, at the foot of the Pyrenees has its perks!!)"
Torquil Thomson commented on Sandra McCartt's blog post 'WORK – LIFE BALANCE IS A BIZZZZARE TERM.'"As a European living and working in Spain, I have to say that we do not get a 2 hour nap in the middle of the day. LOL! That would be great! And I am sure that not too long ago people really did go for a wee siesta, but not today, not in Barcelona."
Torquil Thomson commented on Sandra McCartt's blog post 'WORK – LIFE BALANCE IS A BIZZZZARE TERM.'"Great post and interesting discussion.
