Believe it or not, there are still folks out there whose hands aren't soldered to their laptops or mobile devices and who'd rather network in a venue with real live people.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/04/27/social-media-use-now-nearly-the-norm-when-job-hunting/" target="_blank">Social networking</a> may be a great way to digitally meet potential new colleagues, clients, and customers. But "retro-networking" is, for many, still the preferred way to forge professional connections: face-to-face. In fact, because digital networking seems to have eclipsed other methods, in-person networking feels way more exclusive and potentially effective.]]></description><category>classmates</category><category>networking</category><category>social media</category><category>traveling</category><category>volunteer</category><category>workplace</category><dc:creator>AOL Jobs Contributor</dc:creator><dc:date>2012-05-14T11:22:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>How Watching A Video Unlocked A 42-Year-Old Man's Hidden Talent</title><link>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/05/14/how-watching-a-video-unlocked-a-42-year-old-mans-hidden-talent/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">20236355</guid><comments>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/05/14/how-watching-a-video-unlocked-a-42-year-old-mans-hidden-talent/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<div style="width: 570px; margin: 0 auto;">

HURLEY, N.Y. - Many people spend a lifetime toiling away at a job they tolerate, never finding one that impassions them. Jim Brown might have been one of those people had it not been for a video he watched.<br />
<br />
From an early age, Brown, 61, had been a lover of the outdoors and enjoyed hunting and fishing. But he made his living as a masonry contractor and tended bar during the slow winter months. Then nearly two decades ago, a friend successfully mounted his own deer and suggested Brown give it a try, too. Brown bought a how-to video and tried out the method on a deer he had just hunted.]]></description><category>carpenter</category><category>Disney</category><category>Jim Brown</category><category>Jungle Book</category><category>JungleBook</category><category>taxidermy</category><category>wildlife</category><dc:creator>AOL Jobs Contributor</dc:creator><dc:date>2012-05-14T07:01:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>If Mothers Received A Salary, What Would They Earn?</title><link>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/05/12/how-much-is-a-mother-worth-in-2012/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">20235724</guid><comments>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/05/12/how-much-is-a-mother-worth-in-2012/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<img alt="Mom Job value" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/jobs.aol.com/articles/media/2012/05/family-kitchen-293jt051012.jpg" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin: 4px; float: left;" /><strong>By Barbara Safani</strong><br />

With Mother's Day upon us, I've been thinking about the "Mom job" and how many different jobs it really is. Can you imagine if moms got paid for all they do? Obviously moms don't take the job for the money, but it does make you wonder what their earning potential would be if they were actually compensated financially for all they do.
<p>

<p>
	Here is a list of all the jobs moms do and their corresponding salaries according to <a href="http://www.payscale.com" target="_blank">Payscale</a>:</p>]]></description><category>a+mothers+salary</category><category>amotherssalary</category><category>chef</category><category>counseling</category><category>daycare</category><category>driver</category><category>housekeeping</category><category>Mothers Day</category><category>working moms</category><category>working mothers</category><dc:creator>AOL Jobs Contributor</dc:creator><dc:date>2012-05-12T09:01:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>3 Fields That Had A 19% Increase In Job Openings Last Month</title><link>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/05/08/3-fields-that-had-a-19-increase-in-job-openings-last-month/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">20231040</guid><comments>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/05/08/3-fields-that-had-a-19-increase-in-job-openings-last-month/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<img alt="job opening increase" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/jobs.aol.com/articles/media/2012/05/jobs-forestry-293jt050812.jpg" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin: 4px; float: left;" /><strong>By Dawn Kawamoto, The Motley Fool</strong><br />

Farming, fisheries, and forestry job openings increased by a whopping 19.3% between March and April, according to a <a href="http://success.simplyhired.com/rs/simplyhired/images/SH_May_2012_US.pdf">report (link opens PDF file)</a> released Tuesday by jobs board SimplyHired.com.

QUEENS, N.Y. - Jim Altamore arrived early to a Queens <a href="http://www.barosas.com/" target="_blank">restaurant</a> and ordered himself his usual -- a plate of pasta with marinara sauce. Regulars strolled by to shake his hand and give them his song requests.

<p>
	A Juilliard-trained harpist, Shames performs as a soloist with several orchestras, such as the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and she also plays with her own group, the <a href="http://www.aureoletrio.com/bio/index.html">Aureole Trio</a>.

Everyone wants a cool job. The kind of fun job that gets you excited to go to work every day-and inspires envy or at least a little curiosity in others. But what makes a job cool is subjective.<br />
<br />
A career that involves drinking beer or joking around with Mickey Mouse might be appealing to your neighbor -- but inspire dread in you. And of course, some cool jobs are so coveted that you need to be exceptionally lucky to land one. But these are five awesome jobs that are fairly easy to break into and will be sure to make most of your friends and family say, "Wow, what a great job!"]]></description><category>&amp;esrc=s&amp;frm=1&amp;source=web&amp;cd=4&amp;sqi=2&amp;ved=0cf8qfjad&amp;url=http://job</category><category>cool careers</category><category>cool jobs</category><category>CoolCareers</category><category>coolest+jobs</category><category>coolest+jobs+disney+princess</category><category>coolestjobs</category><category>coolestjobsdisneyprincess</category><category>CoolJobs</category><category>fun jobs</category><category>FunJobs</category><category>great jobs</category><category>GreatJobs</category><category>interesting+and+easy+careers+to+get+into</category><category>interesting+careers</category><category>interestingandeasycareerstogetinto</category><category>interestingcareers</category><category>salaries</category><category>what+is+a+high+paying+job+where+you+get+to+use+tools+all+day</category><category>what+is+an+interesting+career</category><category>whatisahighpayingjobwhereyougettousetoolsallday</category><category>whatisaninterestingcareer</category><dc:creator>AOL Jobs Contributor</dc:creator><dc:date>2012-05-03T09:59:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>11 Benefits Of Being Positive</title><link>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/05/02/11-benefits-of-being-positive/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">20228437</guid><comments>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/05/02/11-benefits-of-being-positive/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<img alt="benefits of positivity" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/jobs.aol.com/articles/media/2012/05/thumbs-up-293jt050112.jpg" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin: 4px; float: left;" /><strong>By Jon Gordon</strong><br />

Over the years I've done a lot of research on the positive effects of being positive and the negative effects of being negative. The research is clear. It really does pay to be positive and the benefits include enhanced health and longevity, happiness, career advancement, athletic performance, team building and financial success. Being positive is not just a nice way to live. It's the way to live. In this spirit, here are 11 benefits of being positive. (All the research comes from <a href="http://www.feedthepositivedog.com/research.html">here</a>).]]></description><category>&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;ved=0ccwqfjaa&amp;url=http://jobs.aol.com/ar</category><category>a+positive</category><category>advantages+of+being+positive</category><category>advantagesofbeingpositive</category><category>apositive</category><category>being+positiv+ein+the+workplace</category><category>being+positive</category><category>beingpositive</category><category>beingpositiveintheworkplace</category><category>benefits+of+being+positive</category><category>benefits+of+positivity</category><category>benefitsofbeingpositive</category><category>benefitsofpositivity</category><category>career advancement</category><category>career advice</category><category>does+being+positive+work</category><category>doesbeingpositivework</category><category>happiness</category><category>positive thinking</category><category>positive+articles</category><category>positivearticles</category><category>positivity</category><category>research+++positive+effects+unemployment</category><category>research+positiveeffectsunemployment</category><category>success at work</category><dc:creator>AOL Jobs Contributor</dc:creator><dc:date>2012-05-02T09:53:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>America's Last Recession-Proof Job?</title><link>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/04/23/a-recession-proof-job-that-pays-well/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">20222220</guid><comments>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/04/23/a-recession-proof-job-that-pays-well/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>

	When the U.S. labor market is discussed, the national figures naturally take center stage. But the job hunt picture across the country can be very different -- not just between states, but from city to city, too. The recent jobs figures for February show a great variation among the country's largest metropolitan areas.

	NEW YORK - Rona Economou methodically chops feta cheese and drips olive oil onto sheets of thin filo dough. Portraits of her Greek grandparents, who taught her how to make dishes from their homeland, hang over her head. The 34-year-old is busy preparing spanakopita, a Greek pastry that blends spinach and feta cheese and is baked into a flaky crust.</p>]]></description><category>chef</category><category>entrepreneur</category><category>Greek</category><category>lawyers</category><category>My Eureka Moment</category><dc:creator>AOL Jobs Contributor</dc:creator><dc:date>2012-03-20T08:56:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>The Career Lessons Of Jeremy Lin</title><link>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/02/28/the-career-lessons-of-jeremy-lin/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">20180946</guid><comments>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/02/28/the-career-lessons-of-jeremy-lin/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>

	Think your job is difficult? Just imagine what it's like to lead one of the most populous and prosperous nations on earth. And yet, as the current race for the Republican nomination has shown, there's no shortage of candidates who think they have the right stuff to be president of the United States.</p>
<p>
	The person ultimately selected for that prestigious post must possess numerous talents, including being an effective policymaker, communicator, conciliator and moderator, in trying to bridge the divides among the many different views in Congress.</p>]]></description><category>abraham lincoln</category><category>Barack Obama</category><category>careers</category><category>employment</category><category>first job</category><category>history</category><category>jobs</category><category>presidents</category><category>professions</category><category>U.S. presidency</category><dc:creator>AOL Jobs Contributor</dc:creator><dc:date>2012-02-20T08:00:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>My Eureka Moment: From Wall Streeter to Urban Farmer</title><link>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/02/17/my-eureka-moment-from-wall-streeter-to-urban-farmer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">20172744</guid><comments>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/02/17/my-eureka-moment-from-wall-streeter-to-urban-farmer/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>

	NEWARK, N.J. -- The 5- and 6-year-olds in the cafeteria at St. Philip's Academy may not have been able to read the chalkboard sign over their heads urging them to "Eat Fresh, Eat Healthy, Eat Foods in Season," but that hardly mattered. The bouncy kindergarteners and first graders were taking turns grabbing fresh produce from the abundant selection at the salad bar, their bowls brimming over with fresh leafy greens that were planted in a science classroom just two floors above them and only 18 days before.</p>]]></description><category>EcoVeggies</category><category>entrepreneur</category><category>farmer</category><category>My Eureka Moment</category><category>Richard Charles</category><category>St. Philips Academy</category><category>students</category><category>Wall Street</category><dc:creator>AOL Jobs Contributor</dc:creator><dc:date>2012-02-17T09:00:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Bridging Generational Workplace Chasms: Setting The Stage For Gen Y Leaders</title><link>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/02/02/bridging-generations-workplace-millennials/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">20160941</guid><comments>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/02/02/bridging-generations-workplace-millennials/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>

	"All Baby Boomers who grew up during the period between 1946 and 1964, are afraid of technology." "Gen Y/Millennials (born between 1982 and 2001) don't want to work hard." Have you heard these stereotypes? As a "boomer" who oversees thousands of people in North America and Europe, I believe there are inherent challenges in managing divergent generations of colleagues, but the opportunities for growth and renewal are far greater.</p>]]></description><category>baby boomers</category><category>Generation Y</category><category>leadership</category><category>Millennials</category><dc:creator>AOL Jobs Contributor</dc:creator><dc:date>2012-02-02T09:49:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Could Your Shaky Personal Finances Get You Fired?</title><link>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/02/01/could-your-shaky-personal-finances-get-you-fired/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">20162352</guid><comments>http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/02/01/could-your-shaky-personal-finances-get-you-fired/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>
