The GlobalGrind Facebook app is pretty sweet I must admit. Essentially, what this app does is make it super easy for a GlobalGrind user with a Facebook account to access and utilize GlobalGrind within the Facebook framework. Adding the GlobalGrind Facebook app was simple and took no time at all. When you are logged in your facebook account and click on the Global Grind app, it looks just like the website for the most part. You see the latest popular photos, stories and videos, which you can choose to ‘grind’ or ‘trash’; as well as photos of new users of the week. Users can also submit a link to Global Grind, invite friends or take the Global Grind trivia challenge. Read the rest of this entry »

How many times have you looked for jobs and wanted to have the ability to contact someone who works for or has worked for companies you are applying for jobs with? I know I have wished for this. You apply for jobs and you go on an interview and you then you get the job offer, but you have no inside track on how it really is to work for this company. Sometimes you just want to hear some opinions from employees who actually work there or have worked there in the past.

Criticat is a site that allows you to rate the company you work for and companies you have worked for in the past and share your work experiences. This sounds like it could be a really useful tool. Especially if Criticat really catches on and people use it and are truly honest with their ratings. I could really see the value in something like this. There are some places I’ve worked for that were horrible and if only I’d been given a heads up to the culture of that particular work environment I would have been better equipped; mentally, to deal with it or maybe I would have turned down the job altogether or maybe I could have asked more probing questions durung the interview. Too many ‘maybes’ to list. I’d like to see Criticat blossom because I can see how having the ability to go to a site to get an inside glimpse on a particular company could prove to be beneficial to someone to better prepare them for interviews and make better decisions on accepting job offers. So, I’m definitely going to keep my eye on Criticat. I’m curious to see if other people will take the time to participate in leaving their rating and work experiences.

If anyone has already use Criticat, leave a comment and let me know how you participated and what your opinion of Criticat is. Would also like to know if you see any real value in a site like this.
