Even if you aren’t looking for a job at the moment, it’s always a good idea to know about the best career sites. For example, LinkedIn allows you to build up your connections in a way similar to MySpace or Facebook. Here are my top career sites for students and professionals:

• LinkedIn.com - Remember the concept of six degrees of separation? This site is the MySpace/Facebook for business people. It allows you to easily to see who your friends are connected to. Is very helpful if you’re looking for a new job and need an introduction. Feel free to connect to me here to see who I’m connected to.
• GlassDoor.com - Allows you to see ratings, reviews and salaries for over 14,000 employers. Ever wondered what it would be like to work at a certain company? This site provides an easy way to get some insights.
• Startuply.com - Have you always wanted to work for a startup? Then this website is for you. This website lists positions with top startups such as Digg, StumbleUpon and many others.
• AfterCollege.com - Did you just graduate? Or are you graduating soon? This website provides listings to many entry level jobs and internships.
• Vault.com - This website has been around for a while and is very comprehensive. Has a variety of resources for those looking for jobs.

How about you? Are there any others out there that you would recommend? Please add to the comments.

Today we launched a new website (www.irisreading.com) that is re-designed to include a number of helpful features to anyone interested in learning more about speed reading.

The site now includes some speed reading webinars that are free to watch. Please check them out when you get a chance. We’ll be adding more webinars in the coming months so make sure you bookmark the site, or subscribe to the RSS feed on this blog. If you’re not familiar with how RSS works, it’s actually pretty simple. Here’s a Wikipedia article that gives a good explanation of it.

The site also includes articles on speed reading tips and strategies. We will be adding more in the coming days and you can subscribe to the articles feed as well.

I hope you find the website helpful and please feel free to add comments to this post on what you’d like to see on the website in the future.
