What’s the job market look like for a new college grad who wants to go into the real estate industry? Craptastic. Unless you’ve got a great connection or know something we don’t (which is actually pretty likely), you can head for another industry to get some work experience or you can take a stab at Real Estate 2.0 jobs. We’ve already looked at Zillow.com as one company that has insulated itself from sub-prime woes by breaking away from the traditional real estate business model, and today we’re going to look at another one. Redfin is an online real estate brokerage. They currently operate in only 7 markets, but they’re gaining ground by offering new services to people who think a realtor isn’t worth 6% of a house’s final sale price.

Not too long ago, the only unmanned aerial vehicles were planes flown by women. Now we live in a world where planes can fly themselves. We thought we were pretty high-tech when we set up a blog, coded our own template, and figured out how to optimize our site for Google; however, the companies that design, develop, and produce autonomous aircraft put us to absolute shame.

We have exciting news today at One Day, One Job! We’re offering you the chance to win this year’s hottest holiday gift, a Nintendo Wii, by sharing One Day, One Job with your job searching friends. If you want to win a Wii, visit our contest page and read the rules on how you can enter.
Since we think giving away a Wii is the best way to bribe you into becoming a One Day, One Job evangelist, we thought it would be appropriate to take a brief look at the jobs that Nintendo is offering at the entry-level. We’ve been working really hard putting together this contest for you, so we’re going to leave most of the research on Nintendo’s entry-level job opportunities up to you.

When you started college, the Goldilocks economy (not too hot, not too cold, but just right) was cooking along with a nice balance of fear and optimism. You knew from freshman year that you wanted to get into real estate because, as they say, they’re never making any more of it. Well if you’ve been paying any attention to CNBC lately, real estate is not the place to be looking for an entry-level job. So how can you find a company in the industry that hasn’t cut out new hiring because of the down market?

Hopefully you’re not stealing wireless while waiting in line at Best Buy to read this post, when you could be doing all your Black Friday shopping on Amazon.com
in the comfort of your own bed. If you don’t get your Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, Kindle, or another Black Friday Deal, maybe you’ll get moving on finding a job and adding to your bank account rather than subtracting from it. Since employers haven’t taken to the Black Friday concept (can you say 20% higher salary if you take a job that you applied for on Black Friday?), we figured we’d write about jobs from the ultimate holiday shopping company.

Welcome to the first Non-Profit Weekend on One Day, One Job. Every weekend we will shift our focus to career opportunities in the non-profit sector. Everybody needs to do something to make the world a better place, so we want to do our part by bringing attention to great entry-level jobs at charitable organizations.
Did you know that eating wild salmon is the best way to save wild salmon? It seems counterintuitive, but that’s the word that Save Our Wild Salmon is trying to spread. Their goal is to restore sustainable runs of Pacific salmon with a focus on the Columbia-Snake River Basin. Unfortunately, there is a lot more action needed to save our wild runs of King, Coho, and Sockeye Salmon and Steelhead than choosing to eat wild fish, but that’s the best way for an average Joe to make a difference. Want to do more? Why not take a job at Save Our Wild Salmon?
