Randomized for Your Entertainment & Illumination

For your Tuesday specialty programming, we're once again steering clear of search engines and job boards, and instead simply gone directly to a random set of employer pages we've visited in the past.

Plus, this approach appeals to our love of injecting some randomness, chance and kismet into your job search.
