Did you notice that we have added yet another new feature? (There’s always something new and exciting at the JobMonkey!) We are now featuring a weekly column from a seasoned career planner. Amy Lindgren owns a career consulting firm in St. Paul, Minnesota and is a nationally syndicated career columnist. We are thrilled that she will be a regular contributor to the JobMonkey as well now. If you missed her most recent posts, check them out now:

>> Better Resumes, Online Applications

>> Meaningless Metrics and Jargon in Resumes

In other news, did you catch all of our news stories this week?

>> Enrollment Up in Tech Ed Programs
>> Federal Government Hiring Number Crunchers
>> Alaska Pipeline Gets Political Boost From Obama
>> Airlines Slash Fares, But It’s Not Enough

And I hope you got a chance to read our weekly features, as well? Like our Reader Mailbag about legitimate work at home job opportunities. Hot Jobs spotlighted resort jobs this week (Aruba, Jamaica, Bahamas… here I come!) And finally, our Tuesday Tips looked at how to volunteer your way into a new job.

Thanks for being with us this week!  Enjoy your weekend!
