Today's Headlines
From across the Web
Time Warner to Start 12 New Web Sites 
Bloomberg
AOL, the Time Warner unit trying to catch up to Yahoo and Google in Internet traffic, plans to start at
least a dozen Web sites in the next six months to attract more advertisers. Existing AOL sites include
celebrity news site TMZ, men's lifestyle site Asylum and music site Spinner.
TV Execs Claim Strong 'Upfront' Sales 
Wall Street Journal 
Network execs and media buyers say the annual advertising-buying ritual known as the "upfront" is
likely to be stronger this year than last. Some TV ad-sales execs admit that there is likely to be a lag
before any recession will begin to take its toll on ad budgets.
XM, Sirius Extend Merger Pact to May 
Barron's 
XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio are extending their merger agreement, which had been
set to expire March 1, to May 1. The two companies continue to wait a decision on the deal from the

U.S. Federal Communications Commission and the Justice Department.
William Morris, AT&T to Invest in Digital Media 
New York Times 
The William Morris Agency is teaming up with venture capital firms Accel Partners and Venrock to
invest in digital media start-ups in Southern California. Convergence is "as much an opportunity as a
threat," says Susan Johnson, an exec with AT&T, a limited partner with the group.
Reuters May Eliminate Jobs for Journalists 
Press Gazette 
David Schlesinger, the editor-in-chief of Reuters, admits that job cuts for journalists can't be ruled out
following the company's merger with Thomson Corp. "We have to look at areas where we overlap,"
he says. "Change is completely constant in our industry -- particularly now."
Allianz Global in market for managers
Allianz Global Investors, parent of PIMCO and Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management, is
looking to acquire other asset managers, said Marna Whittington, COO of Allianz Global
and CEO of Nicholas-Applegate. She would not identify specific asset managers AGI may
be targeting.
In an interview today after a news conference in London on Allianz Global’s financial
results, Ms. Whittington said the recent credit turmoil may result in buying opportunities.
“We do have our eyes open,” she said. “We do think there’s going to be opportunities out
there in terms of products and in terms of talent. We’re quietly looking.”
Allianz Global reported overall assets under management increased 10% to €725 billion
($1.1 trillion) in 2007. Net asset inflows were strongest in fixed income, at €11.7 billion,
while equity strategies saw a net outflow of €200 million. Assets under management
included a €52 billion increase because of market returns.
ExecuNet Exclusive: Economy Tempers Recruiters' Confidence, Hiring
Continuing uncertainty about the overall health of the U.S. economy has tempered executive
recruiters' confidence that the six-figure talent market will continue to expand during the first half of
2008. ExecuNet's Recruiter Confidence Index, a leading indicator for the executive employment
market, revealed that 47 percent of the 238 executive recruiters who participated in the January
survey were "confident" or "very confident" the executive employment market would improve during
the first half of the year. That was down from 59 percent in December. Further, 43% of responding
search firms reported they plan to hire additional staff in the next three months, a decline of nearly 15
percentage points from the previous month.
Fewer Search Firms Plan To Hire New Staff Amid

JMC Job Search Tips (Simple Things pt 72…)

Have You Seen Yourself Lately?
None of us would ever dream about going into an interview or a networking meeting without checking
out our appearance in a mirror right up until the time of the appointment. However, when was the
last time you checked your “presentation”? One of the easiest things to take for granted is how much
we “let ourselves go” once we’ve been in a particular work environment for a period of years.
Remember how much attention we used to afford our behaviors when we were trying to make a good
first impression? Well, it’s not so much that we’ve forgotten how to do it; it’s just that after being in an
environment in which we’ve become comfortable, it’s easy to develop habits that may have been
endearing in our previous place of business but might seem off-putting when confronting a new
opportunity. The list of these behaviors is way too numerous to place here but let’s just suffice to say
that it’s always a good idea to ask for behavioral feedback from those who opinions we value and
trust in such matters. Such input, while not necessarily the easiest thing to swallow is much better
addressed during your preparation than trying to readdress it when hearing about it after the fact…

Useful Web Sites
Here are a few free online locations that could prove helpful (if you know of other new or
unique sites forward them to me at rod.williams@lhh.com)
***There are a number of new business networking sites popping up as alternatives and
competition for LinkedIn. A couple of the new entries are:

Naymz http://www.naymz.com/ Maximize your professional opportunities by promoting your good

name in our Reputation Community.

Plaxo Pulse http://www.plaxo.com/ The easiest way to stay connected is now also the easiest way
to share just about anything. Pulse now brings you "people feeds" from all over the web:

www.worldwit.org. It's a new design, new navigation and a ton of new content. But most excitingly for
us, our site now includes something that so many of our members have asked for: a careers site!
Our careers area, WorldWIT's Hire Ground, is the first online recruiting site that reaches women 'at
the intersection of work and life' with job alerts in the daily WorldWIT email digests. Jobs are also
posted on the searchable WorldWIT's Hire Ground website

http://newyork.craigslist.org/ another site that’s pretty cool. It bills itself as the following: craigslist is
about: giving each other a break, getting the word out about everyday, real-world stuff. restoring the
human voice to the Internet, in a humane, non-commercial environment. keeping things simple,
common-sense, down-to-earth, honest, very real. providing an alternative to impersonal, big-media
sites. being inclusive, giving a voice to the disenfranchised, democratizing ... being a collection of
communities with similar spirit, not a single monolithic entity.
http://www.worklife.com/ Worklife.com provides industry specific career channels with a wealth of
information tailored to your career goals. Select a career channel to research industry information,

searches, and job seekers the ability to search for high tech jobs on www.ComputerJobs.com.
http://www.teamworkonline.com/ a listing site that focuses on jobs in professional sports with teams,
offices, and connected entities (sports management, sporting goods, etc.). Here’s what they say
