Selection matters, yes it does. So I decided to create a new weblog for it: Selection Matters dot com:
 |
“Selection” in this context deals with employment selection and a constellation of related sub-topics: employment testing, interviewing, recruiting, employment law, I/O psychology, and more. There are a lot of Human Resources blog out there and there are a lot of employment law blogs out there, but none of them focussed narrowly on employee selection, which is my area of expertise. So I thought it would be fun to create one. And, honestly, I also wanted to network in the I/O community and give future prospective employers something relevant to find when they did a Google search on me.
I waited a few weeks before mentioning the site here or trying to promote it elsewhere, just to see if it was really viable. Apparently it is, as I’ve had enough material to make posts nearly every day. And not one of them has a picture of Samantha in it. Yet.
I think that the site is also the best one I’ve made from a code point of view, though the real pros out there would probably still call it armature. It’s totally CSS-driven, without a single HTML table or even image tag outside of the blog posts. All the layout images are handled through CSS, as is the positioning. It also makes way more use of Movable Type than jmadigan.net, with essentially every single page being handled by MT modules, indexes, or inserts. The only thing I use FTP for is to transfer images for individual blog posts, and I’m working on setting MT up to handle that, too.
So anyway,
