In it, the author and ‘recruitment guru’ claims that jobs in renewable technology, smartphone development, and healthcare will continue to be strong performers for 2011.ElectricPig.co.uk reports on how the Apple iPad and App-obsessed can get themselves a job at Apple. The site consulted with a number of former Apple employees to give them the inside track on how to mount a successful campaign for a job at the company – including getting a referral and the kind of developer resources Apple offers to software engineers.Finally a company in Lithuania is making headlines this week, but not for the right reasons. The BBC reports on OLiaLia, a new luxury holiday resort being developed in the Maldives, which is requesting only blondes need apply for a job via their website.
