Lost and Unspendy

It is a never ending struggle not to lose my bank cards while travelling. I seem to do it almost monthly then have to cancel my card and re-apply for another! I lost my St George credit card the other day and promptly cancelled it. It has given me the opportunity to investigate their other credit cards as well as some other credit card companies. It seems I might be able to find a card with lower interest rates and a deal on the introductory purchase rate which could save me a lot of money! I found these online credit cards websites which have really opened my eyes to the variety of credit cards available and their many features:

With the help from all these websites, i'm sure i'll be able to find a credit card deal that tickles my fancy. Be it a balance transfer deal, an introductory purchase rate deal, or an interest free days deal, any will suit me to a T. I shall continue my search and also learn some ways to prevent further credit card misplacements.

Phone Foibles

My mobile phone died the other day as I was making an important call. It is an old mobile so I think the time has come to upgrade to Palm 3G mobile phones with all the great new features available. I hope to buy a new phone tonight if possible with my credit card so I don't miss another call leading to disasterous consequences. I'll make sure I still to reasonably priced mobiles while ensuring I have all the main phone features I desire.

These sites have proven very handy of late!

Doctor & Nursing Jobs

The high ranking Australian jobs and career website, Jobs.com.au, has partnered with JOBX in a move to improve the customer experience with greater search functionality and a wider variety of advertised positions. The Jobs.com.au business was acquired in June 2007 by a Brisbane-based web publishing firm. Since the original relaunch of Jobs.com.au in 2007, the website has continued its rise in popularity to its current standing as one of the highest ranking job sites in Australia.

Brisbane, QLD (PRWEB) April 19, 2008 -- The high ranking Australian jobs and career website, Jobs.com.au, has partnered with JOBX in a move to improve the customer experience with greater search functionality and a wider variety of advertised positions. The Jobs.com.au business was acquired in June 2007 by a Brisbane-based web publishing firm. Since the original relaunch of Jobs.com.au in 2007, the website has continued its rise in popularity to its current standing as one of the highest ranking job sites in Australia.

Jobs.com.au CEO, Peter Andronicos, understood the need for a more comprehensive user experience if the website was to grow, the dynamic career website JOBX was approached to further develop the functionality of Jobs.com.au. This partnership has benefited JOBX by providing them with much more high quality traffic than they would normally have expected and has shown exceptional results in a very limited amount of time. A marked increase in the exploration of the pages on Jobs.com.au has also been felt, demonstrating that users have embraced the changes with gusto.

With the unemployment rate at astonishing lows of 4.0% in March 2008, job search sites offer more potential than ever before in helping people into the careers they want. Low unemployment and a high level of new jobs being advertised every day means that users more than ever before will need easily accessible and understandable help to sort through the massive range of career choices. Signs that job advertisements have fallen in both February and March indicates some slowing of the economy, but this makes it more vital than ever to get into the right job before competition rises again.

Using the JOBX platform allows Jobs.com.au to provide a range of tools and resources for job seekers. From job-related videos, including tips on how to do well in interviews to inspiration and advice from experts in their field. There's also a range of web 2.0 features such as the job wiki, polls, webinars, job news, competitions and podcasts. Jobs.com.au also provides a cheaper alternative for employers to advertise a job online with listings starting from just $29.95.

Jobs.com.au provided a portal to many top career websites and job search tools from its original launch in 2007, but the redesign of the site has dramatically improved the range of user experience. A powerful search tool has been added to the site, making it much more convenient to find the best jobs, as well as a massive expansion of the job categories index to help users of all kinds to narrow down their search criteria even further. Additionally, extra resources and training possibilities have been added to the Jobs.com.au site by JOBX, giving users help beyond just searching through advertised positions.

Kite of Doom

I don't know how but I managed to sprain my ankle while attempting to fly a kite on a particularly windy day over the weekend. Who sprains their ankle while flying a kite, I mean really! Thankfully i've kept myself on a short leash when it comes to using my bank cards so I have no credit card online debt whatsoever....not until the doctor's bill arrives that is!

I'm on crutches at the moment so i've been shopping and paying with my credit card online which has been a huge help. Fortunately I am able to work from home too so I won't have to somehow limp my way across the city.

I might tell my colleagues I was saving an endangered duck when all of a sudden I tripped and fell into an old gold mine shaft where I discovered the remains of a historic war boat. Far more exciting than a kite flying accident!!
