An Unintended Lesson?.

Let's hope these statistics don't translate into attitudes toward marriage.

One in three employees start looking for a new job on their first day at work, according to research.

Half of 1,000 people surveyed said they were loyal to their career rather than their employer and almost as many did not expect to be with their current firm in a year's time.

Career consultants Penna Sanders & Sidney said most workers were now keeping their CV up to date, in case they needed to apply for a new job quickly.

Managing director Bill McCarthy said workers had learned from employers that loyalty begins and ends at home.

I've actually been looking into a utility that automatically keeps my CV more or less up to date, but you know, nothing is standardized in this arena. I look at colleagues CV's and they vary per seniority and per discipline primarily, but they also vary per interest and focus.

Special Issue of Post Identity: Submissions Due ASAP. This call for papers comes by way of Purse Lip Square Jaw:

The theme for our Winter 2003 special issue is “Identifying New Media.” We are looking for submissions that theorize how new media forms (DVDs; e-books; Internet blogs, digital archives, interactive gaming; etc.) are changing cultural and academic understandings of identity and authorship, and/or how new media might provide models for new forms of scholarship. We especially are interested in experimental work that performs its theory, such as essays or projects that offer alternative models to the standard academic essay. We are interested in the relationship between the form and content of academic discourse, and the ways in which this discourse might evolve in light of the new media scene.
