PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Here's a job opportunity you won't need to buy a new wardrobe for. Hoping to take advantage of Rhode Island's floundering economy, owners of the Foxy Lady strip club in Providence plan to hold a job fair on Saturday. They say they're looking to fill around 30 positions, from strippers and waitresses to disc jockeys and bartenders, at that club and two others in Massachusetts. "I need more managers, I need more competent staff, and I need more attractive waitresses to go along with the ones I have right now," said co-owner Tom Tsoumas.

My employer is having a job fair. We're looking for lots of people in the Baltimore, MD area for a large contract. While the fair is specifically looking for people with current Full-Scope or Lifestyle polys (cleared), there are other positions available for people who are "clearable". 3 - 7pm tonight and 8:30am - 12pm tomorrow; details are in this flyer: http://assets1.csc.com/careersus/downloads/Job_Fair_Feb20_21.pdf Sorry about the vanity -- just trying to get exposure to anyone out there who needs a job right now.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has expressed the department's continued...

(New Haven-WTNH, Apr. 8, 2005 6:12 PM) _ An editorial in the campus newspaper at Southern Connecticut State University is causing quite a stir. People are talking not just about what was said, but about how it was said. by News Channel 8's Chris Velardi Editorials are meant to create a buzz and an editorial in this week's Southern News is doing just that. The article criticizes the campus job fair and it really goes after military recruiters. "This has gotten a stronger reaction than anything we've written in the Southern News in a long time," says editor-in-chief Kevin Miner,...

TIKRIT, Iraq - Abdul Hadi sells souvenirs to U.S. troops at their base — a livelihood that could get him killed by insurgents who are warning Iraqis against dealing with Americans. Yet he goes on with his work. "I am afraid I may become a target, but what can I do?," said Abdul Hadi, a 23-year-old college graduate, said, refusing to give his family name. "There is nothing for me outside. This is a good job." In a recent shift in tactics, insurgents fighting U.S.-occupation forces and their Iraq security allies have also started attacking Iraqi civilians who deal with...

Two unrelated events last week provide some clues as to why our education system is failing. First, Canada College in San Mateo, California, held a job fair -- for kindergartners! Apparently there is nothing too silly to spend the taxpayers' money on, even when the state has a record deficit. While Canada College supplied the event, the schools had to supply the kids. Why are our schools at all levels so willing -- even eager -- to take children out of the classroom? Our "educators" seem desperate to find almost anything to do other than actually educate the children entrusted...
