Interviewing 101: Intro to Landing a Job
No, this isn’t a class offered at your local community college. Interviewing-101 is a Website dedicated to helping you land a position.
They provide a section with tips from a headhunter, provide an option to contact a headhunter to help you with your job search, and links to job boards categorized by specific job functions.
While some of the resources are free to check out, most require a one-time annual payment of $20. At first I felt that was a bit overpriced. Where is the return on investment? Then I read the introduction to one of the articles- “The ‘REAL’ Way to Write a Resume- and I was actually disappointed to learn that I couldn’t continue to read on without logging in (which obviously requires that payment).
Not to mention that there is a daily lampoon section that brightens up the bleak employment search with a few interviewing jokes. All in all, if you are truly dedicated to finding a position, this Website may just be worth the investment for the resources.
Be sure to also check out The Truth About Headhunters.

No offense to free content (I'm a big fan and provider of it myself), but most people tend to put little value on things they don't pay for... and great advice is no exception.
If they pay a career coach $200 and he tells them the exact same thing you've advised in your blog, they'll be much more likely to take action on it after hearing it from the paid coach.
Charging for content makes it more valuable, which makes people more likely to use and benefit from it.
And isn't $20 a year a ridiculously low price for information that can help someone land a new job?
Oops... sorry about the long comment. Got a bit carried away. You'd think Interviewing-101 was my site! (It's not; I'd never heard of it before reading your post.)
