Starting a 5th year and counting…

Although JobMob’s first blog article appeared back in December 2006, I waited until March 21st 2007 before officially launching the site with press releases and fanfare.

Part of it was that I didn’t really know much about blogging back then, and part of it was that I just wasn’t sure in which direction JobMob would go.

Of course with that name, it would be mostly about job search (although the first article wasn’t) and I always felt it could appeal to a wide audience (although the first articles didn’t), but it took some time for me to discover my blogging voice or rather, for me to really become comfortable with growing that voice in public, with its ups and downs while you, my kids, the Googlebot and just about anyone was watching.

That must be why one of the first posts was a craptacular piece about making mistakes in public and coming out smelling like roses.

Ha’aretz has kept Israelis informed since 1918. Almost 90 years later, their websites give you job news but not much else to help you find jobs in Israel. English or Hebrew? Ha’aretz’s English language website can be found at Ha’aretz.com. There’s a Business section that contains the occasional article about the Israeli job market but [...]
