MySpace confirmed industry rumours today when it announced that 300 jobs will be cut from its international operations.
The social networking site has been avoiding rumours for 10 days on the fate of the company and its international workforce outside the US.
But today it was announced that two thirds of its international workforce will be slashed in a bid to remain afloat during the recession.

Have a look at this article posted on NZ Herald’s website over the weekend about a company that is charging candidates their first month’s salary to find them a job. Here at 920 it was the catalyst for some interesting debate! We realise that in this tighter market some people might be willing to work essentially for free for a month in order to secure a job but it does seem unecessary when there are other options and no evidence that this option will make securing the job any more likely… It would be interesting to know what extra service is provided in exhange for this commitment too. What do you think? Would you consider giving up your first month’s salary to get a job? And don’t worry – this isn’t on the cards at 920!
