Your Employees Are Probably Job Hunting Right Now
By Venessa Wong
It’s Tuesday, which means there’s a good chance some of your employees already have looked for another job this week. Data provided to Businessweek.com from job sites Indeed.com, Glassdoor.com, and Simplyhired.com show that Mondays and Tuesdays are peak times for job hunting. Now might be a good time for worried managers to treat the office to pizza.Workers aren’t confining job searches to their off hours. On Simplyhired.com, U.S. searches peak on Mondays around 11 a.m. Weekly Web searches on Indeed.com also peak on Mondays around 11 a.m., and the daily peak on other weekdays tends to be around that time as well. Based on IP addresses, there’s plenty of traffic from office computers, says Chris Hyams, vice president of product at Indeed.“This does dispel the idea that people try to hide this from their employers by using a mobile device,” says Hyams. “We definitely see people searching from places of employment. There’s no question that this is not just people sitting at home.” In fact, in a recent survey by career management firm Right Management, 74 percent of workers said they explore job sites during the workday.Another bump occurs in the evening. The average peak time for searches on Glassdoor.com is Tuesdays at 9 p.m. in each time zone.

8 New Ways To Look For A Job
By Marty Nemko
Sometimes it feels that job searching hasn’t changed in eons: Write a resume, network, answer ads, interview. And you’ve been using just those to land a job without success. So you’re craving something new.
Even in our highly-digitized era, I don’t believe the cloud can replace coffee — that is, sitting down over a cup of coffee with a potential job lead. That said, the internet continues to yield new tools, job search strategies, and factors to consider. Here’s the latest crop:
Employers will Google you. If there’s something you’ve posted that you don’t want prospective employers to see, take it down. If someone else has written something unfairly negative about you, see if you can get them to take it down. Be sure your LinkedIn profile is complete, including an engaging headshot.
Try CareerSonar. It ranks all jobs available online by the strength of your connections on Facebook and LinkedIn. That makes it easy for you to know when to try to get a connection to try to help you.
Check out Glassdoor.com. The site makes it easy to dig up the straight scoop on what it’s like to interview with and work for a specific employer.
You might try posting a Twesume: a 140-character resume on Twitter. Employers like to screen fast and many are looking for social-media-friendly applicants.

Young Adults With Autism Can Thrive In High-Tech Jobs
By Lauren Silverman
The job hunt is complicated enough for most high school and college graduates — and even tougher for the growing number of young people on the autism spectrum. Despite the obstacles that people with autism face trying to find work, there’s a natural landing place: the tech industry. Amelia Schabel graduated from high school five years ago. She had good grades and enrolled in community college. But it was too stressful. After less than a month she was back at home, doing nothing. “I did go to a community college for a semester, but that definitely was not for me,” she says. Schabel has Asperger’s syndrome, a disorder on the “high functioning” end of the autism spectrum.
According to the latest figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in 88 children in the U.S. has an autism spectrum disorder. For people like Schabel, attending college and interacting socially can be tough. “I can look someone in the eye and talk to them,” she says, “but if someone treats me in a way I don’t think I deserve to be treated, I’m not going to react well. I may lash out, I may not speak to them, I may just glare.” Although symptoms and their severity vary widely, the majority of young adults with autism spectrum disorder won’t make it to college and won’t get a job after they graduate. This year alone, 50,000 adolescents with autism will turn 18.
A Tech Mecca For Young Adults With Autism
Gary Moore wants to make the transition into the workforce easier for young adults on the autism spectrum. Moore, along with his partner Dan Selic, founded the nonPareil Institute in Plano, Texas.

Hadiya Pendleton’s Father Blasts Senate for Gun Vote
By Jonathan P. Hicks
The father of Hadiya Pendleton said that the failure of the Senate to pass a measure that would expand background checks for gun purchasers was nothing short of an act of cowardice on the part of elected officials in Washington.
“It’s very, very disappointing to know that it is going to take something even more drastic to get a common sense law passed to control the spread of guns,” said Nathaniel A. Pendleton, in an interview with BET.com.
“These people didn’t have the cojones to do something to prevent these cowardly acts of gun violence,” he added. “The right thing to do was obvious.”
Hadiya Pendleton was a 15-year-old honors student in the South Side of Chicago who was shot to death in a park by someone who mistook her for another teenager, police said. She was gunned down a week after she performed with a marching band at the inaugural festivities of President Obama’s inauguration in January.
Her death became a national symbol of the heartbreak of gun violence in urban America. Her funeral was attended by Michelle Obama and her parents sat with the first lady during the president’s State of the Union address.

New York City Cigarette Proposal Would Raise Age For Purchases To 21
By Jennifer Peltz
No one under 21 would be able to buy cigarettes in the city under a proposal unveiled Monday to make it the most populous place in America to set the minimum age that high.
Extending a decade of moves to crack down on smoking in the nation’s largest city, the measure aims to stop young people from developing a habit that remains the leading preventable cause of death, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said as she announced the plan. Eighty percent of the city’s smokers started lighting up before they were 21, officials say.
“The point here is to really address where smoking begins,” she said, flanked by colleagues and the city’s health commissioner. With support in the council and Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s backing, the proposal has the political ingredients to pass.
But it may face questions about its effectiveness and fairness. A retailers’ representative suggested the measure would simply drive younger smokers to neighboring communities or corner-store cigarette sellers instead of city stores, while a smokers’ rights advocate called it “government paternalism at its worst.”
Under federal law, no one under 18 can buy tobacco anywhere in the country. Four states and some localities have raised the age to 19, and at least two communities have agreed to raise it to 21.
