These days, it seems like every job opening is posted to the web, and without the proper tools, sifting through all of them can be extremely time consuming.  When I was job hunting, I came up with a great system that made finding the relevant jobs I cared about very easy, and all it required from me was checking my RSS feeds daily.  I’ve posted the system that I used since I’ve had a couple of people ask me about it – I hope it is helpful to anyone looking for a job (Note: I am not looking for one currently, I’ve just finally gotten around to writing up the methods I used)!

Every year for the past several years, I have gone on a cruise known as The Rock Boat. This is a week-long cruise where approximately 30 bands are on board, and there are concerts every day from about 12 noon until 3am.

This year I had not been planning on going – I chose instead to use the money for the my 10 day trip out West to Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, and skiing at Brianhead (we are leaving for this trip in less than 2 weeks!). The past few weeks leading up to the cruise I had a lot of people trying to talk me into going.
