As a followup to posting about lang.guru, here are three linguistics blogs/podcasts.

Lingthusiasm podcast with transcripts
Language Log blog
Language Hat blog

My friend really appreciated your feedback, and said that lang.guru is "language learning for language nerds," so you folks are exactly the folks she wants it to work well for.

Tech job search links

I start a new job tomorrow! Here are a bunch of job search links.

Diversify Tech - sign up for their newsletter with job listings from companies who are actively seeking diverse and underrepresented candidates and post a profile to their Talent Directory.

4 Day Week - sign up for their newsletter with companies that have a 4 day work week, some at full pay, and also companies with other alternative or reduced schedules. International listings. The newsletter includes text ads for tech companies.

Virtual Coffee - tech community with twice-weekly conversations and online events.

Phyl.org - book Never Search Alone by Phyl Terry, and related Job Search Councils with peer support and a required set of steps for your job search. (via elainegrey)

CalCareers - jobs working for the state of California. Definitely watch their how to apply videos - applying for California state jobs is almost as involved as applying for a federal job.

CalJobs - not to be confused with the above, this is the site to help Californians on unemployment get a new job. Includes job listings and creating a profile.

Bonus link: Should you call people resources? by Emily Webber. Answer: No. Includes a handy small flow chart for what to say instead.
