One cause of the pay gap between men and women may be how women approach negotiations, researchers say.

TWELVE SCHOLARSHIPS have become available to students of the new Transart Institute MFA Creative Practice program validated by the University of Plymouth. Two Developing Country Scholarships, four Achievement Scholarships and six Merit Scholarships will be awarded. The scholarships provide a reduction in tuition from 10 to 50%. More information on scholarships and payment plans can found on the Transart Institute website: http://www.transartinstitute.org/Admissions.html
TRANSART INSTITUTE offers an international low-residency MFA program for working artists in a highly individualized format. The innovative program consists of three intensive summer residencies with lectures, workshops, critiques, seminars, performances and exhibitions in Europe and two shorter winter residencies in New York. In the four semesters between residencies, students create their own course of study realizing individual art and research projects with the support of faculty and self-chosen artist mentors wherever they work and live.
THE MFA CREATIVE PRACTICE is geared towards the development of a sustainable artistic praxis rather than training in certain media or genres, challenging students to think conceptually and work creatively in new ways. Current students work with animation, curating, digital media, film, gaming, graphic design, installation, painting, performance, photography, robotics, sculpture, sound, text, video, virtual reality.

From a Slashdot review:
“The Laidoff Ninja” is an extremely valuable resource on dealing with the mental stress and anguish that may come from being laid off. It presents creative and novel ways of finding jobs by leveraging social media. The book is a tool in itself that can help the reader survive and prepare for the battle that is a job-search, and do it in a highly effective way.

I ran into Jon last week at a social networking training session for the Belfast CoHousing & EcoVillage. He filled me in on this blog and the sweet tech behind its synchronous posting / commenting from Twitter and Facebook; very cool stuff! Jon asked if I would let you all know there are indeed great jobs in Maine in the technology industry, and more are coming each day! I graduated from NMD/ART last May and I freelanced through Craigslist for a bit. By July I landed the lead Web Developer position @ Pica Design, LLC here in Belfast. This industry in general is quite fun because of its every-changing nature. When new tech comes out I get to learn and use it for client websites. Recently we launched a media community for The Maine Windjammer Association in which I was able to work with the YouTube API and Flickr API to push / pull content to / from the website. I landed this job through Owen Smith. So, work hard; someone will notice and recommend you!!
Advice from Slashdot contributors on how to land an entry-level tech job in this economy.
Recently got to see some fantastic work coming from the NMD department capstone class. Would like to specifically note The Everyday Maine documentary project by new media student Ben Brazier which is a series of 1 minute audio and still documentaries about various people throughout Maine.
This sparked me to start checking out job opportunities in the documentary film field and i came across this: [ http://www.documentary.org/community/IDA-resources/jobs ]http://www.documentary.org/community/IDA-resources/jobs
Think this would be useful to those new media students (such as myself) who couldn’t code themselves out of a box, or ever write a code that made a box for that matter and let people know that what we learn in New Media is more then graphic design and webpage development.
This would be especially useful for anyone who HAS taken or WILL be taking the Camden International Film Festival class next year.
