While I was visiting MyCareer this morning, an alert popped up on my computer telling me that the "Site is Unsafe".
Being the vigilant person that I am. I proceeded to read the full report.
Although Norton has identified MyCareer of having a potential adware threat. Norton has added various "social functions" including user reviews and ratings on the right hand panel.

SEEK has just released the Great Australian Pay Check (aka salary survey results) it started compiling from users 12 months ago. The reports contain a wealth of information for job seekers, recruiters and HR to compare salary packages. SEEK's survey data size and report contents squash all rivals.

You've probably noticed this yourself - You quickly type a URL into the browsers address bar, hit enter and arrive at a site that doesn't look like the one you were expecting. Then you notice that you entered a typo in the domain name.
Typosquatting (also called URL hijacking), is a form of cybersquatting which relies on mistakes such as typographical errors made by users when inputting a website address into the web browser. Should a user accidentally enter an incorrect website address, they may be led to an alternative website owned by a cybersquatter.
Some clever cybersquatters has anticipated this and registered the domain name with the typo. So every time someone enters this misspelled domain name (and it happens more often than you might think), they land on his page instead of the page they were looking for.
We did a quick search on 3 job board domain names - MyCareer, CareerOne, and JobsJobsJobs (We couldn’t ascertain the registered domain names for SEEK). It's best to be proactive and register the typo's of your domain name/brand before others do. The list below is only a small sample of those purchased by the real domain name.
If you believe your domain name has been registered by typosquatters, you should refer to auDA’s Prohibition on Misspellings Policy (2008-09) while you are there, make sure you check out the list of prohibited misspellings.

Last week, a mid-size Australian company updated the job application form with an extra gender selection.
The company specialises in Accounting, Insolvency and Financial Planning.
It got me thinking... Do we really need to know what the gender of the candidate when they apply for a job?
Certainly for some roles it may be necessary and the employer should clarify the job advertisement with an exemption notice from the relevant authority.
But it dose open the possibility of discrimination towards the job seeker.

Did you know that LinkMe is now aggregating job adverts from CareerOne? At the bottom of those aggregated job adverts you will see this statement "Applications for this job are via CareerOne". First comes love, then comes marriage....

Look out CareerOne here comes NewCareerOne. Registered last week, NewCareerOne is nothing more than a sponsored links farm, displaying ads from Yahoo. Another one of these sites is JobsGuruOnline which can be traced back to an Australian Company.
