High Five Friday - 2/3/2012

Yo!  We're trying something new to keep our readers up to date on what we're seeing in the seasonal recruiting space.  Each Friday we're going to post a blog called High Five Friday and share our thoughts from the week that was.  We encourage you to post comments and your thoughts from your perspective out there, wherever you are.  Hopefully, by mutually sharing our views, we'll find not only common ground, but we'll learn something from each other.


So here goes the week that was January 31 to February 3...

• Cetusa - Council for Education Travel, USA was in the New York Times on February 1 because it has been banned by the State Department from bringing foreign students to the US under the J-1 program.  Cetusa was responsible for the 400 students involved in the Hershey's debacle in 2011.   From the article - "The ban of Cetusa was hailed as a victory by the National Guestworker Alliance, a labor group that helped organize the Palmyra protest and demanded that the State Department take action against the sponsor."
• On the Cool Works website, we added the category "Jobs with Fish," which not only make us giggle a little, but is a practical page for fish processing jobs as well as fishing guide jobs.  Check it out!
• Our traffic is humming!  In the last month, we've had over 1.2 million page views and 55% of our visitors are new to the site!  If you're looking to fill positions for the summer of 2012, now is the time to get your jobs posted.  Get in touch or sign up to post your jobs.

So what happened in your world this week?  Please share in the comments.  Happy Friday!
