Welcome to the Daily Roundup. Each day at the ThinkTalk Blog we will post some links that we find informative, interesting, or just plain funny. The goal is to let you know what else is going on out there, and ultimately help you with the development of your career.

All I have to say is: FREE iTUNES!

Ok, ok, it’s not Chinese Democracy, but it is useful and free educational iTunes . . . tip of the cap to Jason Kottke for pointing this out (via Very Short List, apparently.)

Next up, Willy Franzen’s One Day One Job has a great profile of Angie's List – a Web 2.0 site where consumers review local services, like contractors, plumbers, electricians, etc. ODOJ points out that Angie’s List is expanding, adding around 400 new jobs in numerous areas.

The job descriptions on a Angie’s List’s Jobs page are short and not very detailed, but it looks like jobs including Data Verification Specialist, Member Services Representative - Inbound, Member Services Representative - Outbound, Member Services Representative - Written Correspondence, and Receptionist might be worth looking at if you’re interested in going into Customer Service.

I've heard a lot about Angie's List recently - almost all good things. Seems like it might be something worth checking out . . . especially if they are one of the few companies actually hiring right now.

Over at The Career Doctor, Randal Hansen answers a reader’s question regarding probationary periods during the hiring process. This is an important aspect of a new job that you should be aware of when you enter the workforce. Probationary periods can give both parties a good out if things just aren’t working, but it is important that you are aware of the company’s policy regarding this period so that there are no surprises.

Other links of general interest:

The New York Times Says: Lots of talk recently deriding the SAT as a proper indicator of college success. Look again, says former SUNY Provost Peter D Salins.

The Wall Street Journal reports: The financial crisis has MBA students considering career options outside the traditional large financial institutions. Well, I hear Applebee's is hiring.
