Hi Everyone! This Wednesday, May 21, 2008, Tel-Aviv University is having its 28th annual job fair. This is one of the largest annual job fairs in the country. The job fair is for students and graduates but is also open to the general public (I verified that on the phone). I would recommend bringing with you a teudat zehut card or other picture id card and getting there early. Bring plenty of copies of your updated resume. The job fair will take place on the Tel-Aviv university campus. Date: May 21, 2008 Time: 10:00 to 18:00 Additional details are available on the job fair website (in Hebrew) at: http://jobfair.tau.ac.il If you go to the job fair, please email me how it was. If they give out a map or listing of the companies and you have a scanner, I would appreciate a scan of the list. Please do not email the CJI list. I am deleting all emails sent to the CJI address. Way too many spams to sort through. Email me at: jrichman@jr.co.il with the subject: Job Fair Feedback Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------- I finally joined Twitter ! My Twitter home page is: http://twitter.com/jacobrichman Some of you may be asking what Twitter is. Briefly, it is a one line blog which you can access and update from your stationary computer or mobile device. Some people Twitter once a week while others Twitter several times an hour. I will probably fall somewhere in between. Besides listing my website updates, I will try and point out interesting articles and websites relating to Israel, Judaism, technology, education, etc... I think I will avoid what time I wake up and what I am eating for breafast :-) I am keeping my Twitter account open to the general public. I also placed a Twitter widget on the bottom right of my blog at: http://jrichman.blogspot.com/ I am still in the process of learning how to integrate it into my work environment. I am trying out several Twitter client applications including one that works within Facebook. You are invited to "follow me" or just read my updates on an ad-hoc basis. If you are new to Twitter (like me), I would recommend checking out the Twitter Fan Wiki at: http://twitter.pbwiki.com/ and Tweet Scan - Real Time Twitter Search at: http://www.tweetscan.com/ One last thing: Twitter has been up and down several times today. Maybe they knew I was joining :-) If you can not access it right away, try again later. ------------------------------------------------------------- I sent out the following two announcements this week: Subject: Educational websites about Lag Ba'Omer Hi Everyone! The Jewish festival "Lag Ba'Omer" is Friday, May 23, 2008. If you are flying over Israel on Thursday night (22nd) and you look down out of your plane, you will see thousands of bonfires dotting the landscape as far as the eye can see. There are various customs and explanations for these celebrations. I posted on my website 36 links to learn about "Lag Ba'Omer". All 36 links have been reviewed / checked this week. The web address is: http://www.jr.co.il/hotsites/j-hdayla.htm Enjoy the bonfires! Jacob ------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: New Israeli Educational Stamps Posted Online Hi Everyone! I scanned and posted on my website the new Israeli stamps that were issued in May 2008. I included the stamp itself, the first day cover, and an English and a Hebrew flyer about the stamp. - "Hatikva" Israel's National Anthem (souvenir sheet) - Israel - 60 Years of Independence - The Israeli - Independence Day Posters - Memorial Day 2008 - The Israel Export Institute 50th Anniversary - Flowers - Cyclamen Persicum, Rose FYI - For the first time in Israel - scented stamps. Using a unique printing technique, a different scent was integrated into each flower stamp. The new stamps are located at: http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/stamps/index-2008.html The top of the web page should display the date May 18, 2008. If the page has an older date, hold the control key and press the F5 key to refresh your browser with the updated page. Shavua Tov - Have a good week, Jacob ------------------------------------------------------------- Later this week I plan to update the Jerusalem Day Hotsites and the Shavuot Hotsites. You can access both via: http://www.jr.co.il/hotsites/j-hday.htm ------------------------------------------------------------- In June I plan (B"H) to give my four hour seminar: Marketing your Website to the World You can see an outline of the seminar at: http://www.jr.co.il/training/marketing-your-website-to-the-world.htm A week after that seminar, I plan (B"H) to give a seminar about marketing and social networks. The seminar is in the early development stage. I should have details ready by the next CJI report. ------------------------------------------------------------- Today's CJI is very short but I wanted to send it out in any case, in order to let everyone know about the TAU job fair. Now it is time for the jobs...... Have a good night / day, Jacob ------------------------------------------------------------- The CJI report has been published on-line since June 1993. Please make a small donation to support this CJI report. http://www.J.co.il/donate.htm Archives of the CJI reports can be found at: http://www.cji.co.il Please do not send resumes to CJI or Jacob.
