facebook_logo_squareWe have recently come across a great list of 39 Most Popular Facebook Pages In The World for Job Search by Jacob Share of Jobmob.co.il.   We were happy to see Resumark’s own Facebook Page ranked #12.  However, after studying the list a bit closer, we realized that not every popular page may be useful to job seekers.  Just like with everything else in life – bigger isn’t always better.

So we have decided to put together our own version of this list ranking pages by their value to job seekers based on the feedback generated by their own fans.  We focused on pages that are 1) in English; 2) offer positions in the U.S. or internationally; and 3) contain useful and well-maintained resources and information.  We have eliminated pages that only output their job listings (there are job websites for that) and duplicate pages that represent same company in different regions or fields.

We believe that these are the best 10. Here is our list:

Attention!!Are your coworkers driving you crazy? You are not alone! A recent study showed that almost 40% of workers feel out of place in the office.  We have assembled a list of the most annoying coworker types. Anyone sounds familiar?

Note:  This advice is purely for entertainment purposes and is not intended to solve serious problems!

10. The Obnoxious One

An obnoxious coworker repeatedly bangs on the table for no apparent reason, cracks knuckles and whistles eight hours a day. All this is between thunderous phone conversations.  These coworkers have no secrets.  They prefer discussing them with a door open and over a speakerphone with the whole office listening. By now you’ve learnt about their bonuses, medical problems, and heard plenty of baby talk with the spouse.

How to deal with them:  Hum show tunes every time they get on the phone while hanging around their office and waiting for them to finish the phone call.  Better yet, give them a portable phone booth.
