WEB WATCH — Desperate for up-to-the-minute construction news and job alerts? Then look no further – access to ºÚ¶´ÉçÇø magazine’s website is completely free for the next four weeks.
There’s a chance you may be reading this article in somebody else’s ºÚ¶´ÉçÇø magazine – maybe your subscription renewal is in the post. Or maybe you’re last in line to receive the office copy. Whatever the reason, don’t fret because access to www.building.co.uk is completely free from today for four weeks.
You will be able to access the last 10 years of the ºÚ¶´ÉçÇø archive and get hold of ºÚ¶´ÉçÇø’s toolkits on sustainability, legal matters and data. There’s also access to web exclusives such as law firm Fenwick Elliott’s case of the week.
For employers advertising vacancies there is an exciting opportunity on our jobs site this week. For a limited period, jobs listings will be free on ºÚ¶´ÉçÇø4jobs. The site is designed to attract the best candidates, and advertisers can enhance their entries by using features such as company profiles, featured jobs, logos, job casts and MPU adverts. To find out more about ºÚ¶´ÉçÇø’s free job listings just send an email to building4jobs@cmpi.biz
I’ll take this opportunity to highlight my favourite element of building4jobs.co.uk – the salary checker. It’s the best way to make sure that you are not being sold short by your employer. Not only does it cover dozens of job types, it also checks salaries across UK regions. Its a pity there isn’t a similar checker for construction journalists...
Breaking news stories on ºÚ¶´ÉçÇø are always free (as are magazine news stories for four weeks). Last week’s top stories show the appetite for glamorous architecture with exclusive new images of Zaha Hadid’s architecture centre proving most popular.
The first hiccup in the delivery of the London Olympic Games is also being closely followed by the industry.
