What are BostonWorks' Weblogs?
In The Boston Globe each Sunday, we publish several original articles focusing on the employment, career management,
and recruiting issues facing our readers. We're very proud of our original content, but there's a limit to what we can research, write, edit, and publish on our own.
That's why we started the Job Blog and the HR blog:
to take advantage of the fact that there is a great big web of that useful and reliable information out there.
Our vision for these blogs is to provide links to that information and, we hope, to help people find jobs.
If you have questions, comments or suggestions, .
