A bumper edition.

This week's edition contains the 2007 Special Edition supplement featuring Trees and Hedges, as before it's in association with the Tree Council. This year we've focused on Wood Fuel and Urban Trees with articles from The Woodland Trust, CVNI and Trees for Cities. There are loads of adverts and a whole heap of training courses. To see the special click here.

You'll also find the first monthly Training Calendar in this week's edition. This includes, in chronological order, brief details of courses and events being held during the next calendar month and an update on new online listings for longer courses and providers. The online training section has also had a bit of a revamp. Courses are now detailed according to type, so if you're looking to brush up your identification skills you no longer need to wade through courses on how to make biodiesel.

This week's edition is 11 pages of jobs, 2 of training plus a further 11 of Special Edition – wow! There are 83 new paid posts of which 41 were sent direct to CJS.

One thousand jobs!

Monday's edition of CJS Weekly contains the one thousandth vacancy advertised by CJS since January. Since the beginning of the year we've advertised over 1000 new, not previously advertised, paid UK vacancies plus a few international ones and loads of volunteers too which we don't count in the overall jobs total. Monday's edition is 17 pages with 129 vacancies, 68 of which came direct to CJS.

Here are a few stats for the number-crunchers (that'll be me then), we've advertised 1004 jobs, 598 came direct. That’s 59.6% direct to CJS. If you've subscribed and received every copy since 15/1 it's cost you 0.93p per advertised vacancy.

The training section has grown over the past couple of weeks and today a whole host of new courses have been added to the online rolling programme and there are now over 900 different courses and events listed. We have also added a few new providers and longer courses. So have a look at: http://www.countryside-jobs.com/index/training.htm
