James in the Boston Globe
Our very own James Weinberg was quoted in Maggie Jackson’s Balancing Acts column in last Sunday’s Boston Globe. Here’s a snippet:
Will portfolio work turn epidemic? Probably not, although its incidence is growing, according to recruiters, career coaches, and others who follow trends in work culture. James Weinberg, a recruiter for nonprofits, sees an uptick in those willing to work this way - and those willing to hire them.
More job candidates are asking Weinberg for part-time work, saying, ” ‘I’m trying to knit together a career’, or ‘I’d like to have multiple roles that will allow me flexibility,’ ” observes Weinberg, chief executive of Commongood Careers in Boston. Sometimes, executives work on a shared basis for several groups, splitting their time between jobs, he says.

. Keep up the good work
thanks admin good site Turkey hello:)
The worst thing about new books, French philosopher Joseph Joubert wrote, is that they keep us from reading the old ones.Which is precisely how a truly great novel like George R. Stewart’s Earth Abides gets, if not lost, then seriously mislaid. Published in 1949, the same year as Orwell’s 1984 and two years after Camus’ The Plague, Earth Abides regularly appears on lists of great science fiction yet remains virtually unknown to any larger readership. In one 43-page overview of Stewart’s work, Earth Abides receives a single paragraph of five lines. And despite its having won the 1951 International Fantasy Award, even among science fiction fans the novel is little read or recognized.This is a book, mind you, that I’d place not only among the greatest science fiction, but among our very best novels.Each time I read it, I’m profoundly affected, affected in a way only the greatest art — Ulysses, Matisse or Beethoven symphonies, say — affects me. Epic in sweep, centering on the person of Isherwood Williams, Earth Abides proves a kind of antihistory, relating the story of humankind backwards, from ever-more-abstract civilization to stone-age primitivism.
Nice article as habitat for humanity just joined the movement and large number of US people joined to serve culture nation wide. ....

I am just new to your blog and just spent about 1 hour and 30 minutes lurking and reading. I think I will frequent your blog from now on after going through some of your posts. I will definitely learn a lot from them. Regards - Leah
