Jobs in Pods - career podcast
Here's a very cool resource, especially if you're into podcasting. These are audio (MP3) postings of job descriptions, interviews with experts in particular industries, recruiters, and more. Check it out here: www.JobsInPods.com
You can download these to your MP3 player and listen to them while driving, exercising, walking, and so on.
For employers, there is even a document on the site covering Making the Business Case for Jobcasting. Accenture and Microsoft are doing it, why not your company? It seems like a great way to show that your company is on the leading edge by doing things in a way that most companies haven't even heard of yet, let alone embraced.
To your success!

P.S. If you're not sure what "Podcasting" is, here's the first part of the entry on Wikipedia:
A podcast is a digital media file, or a series of such files, that is distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds, for playback on portable media players and personal computers.[1] A podcast is a specific type of webcast which, like 'radio', can mean either the content itself or the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also termed podcasting. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster. The term "podcast" is a portmanteau of the name of Apple's portable music player, the iPod, and broadcast; a pod refers to a container of some sort and the idea of broadcasting to a container or pod describes the process of podcasting. More about the name itself can be found in the history of podcasting article.
Though podcasters' web sites may also offer direct download or streaming of their content, a podcast is distinguished from other digital media formats by its ability to be downloaded automatically, using software capable of reading feed formats such as RSS or Atom.
