This Week in Jobs: Pound the (internet) pavement and check out these 25 tech career opportunities
There's no question the internet has massively changed the way we search for jobs. Back in the 1970s, a typical job search meant scouring classified ads in the newspaper and putting on your best business attire to hand out individually typed resumes in person. This was how it was 51 years ago today on July 29, 1974, just days before the resignation of President Nixon. Little did anyone know that this thing called the internet was quietly brewing. It was on that day that two researchers laid the groundwork for the internet with a paper introducing TCP/IP: the Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol. These two systems work together to move data between computers. Without it, there would be no internet as we know it, and you would still be hitting the pavement and awkwardly asking receptionists face to face if they had any available positions. The internet started simple, by breaking it down into steps, and making sure nothing gets lost along the way. The same rules apply to job hunting.

A paid-for trip to talk immigration with Dr. Phil sparks questions about NYPD's John Chell
NEW YORK — John Chell, the NYPD's top uniformed cop, had at least $1,000 in travel expenses covered by Dr. Phil last year to participate in an interview with the conservative TV personality — an example of how the powerful police official has become a mainstay of right-wing media, according to records reviewed by the Daily News. Chell, a key ally to Mayor Eric Adams who was at the time the department's chief of patrol, took the trip to Texas in March 2024 to do an interview with Dr. Phil about New York's 'migrant crime wave.' The intersection of migrants and crime is a key talking point of President Trump's administration as it pursues an aggressive deportation agenda, and Chell's comped Texas trip came at a time he was emerging as a regular on Trump-boosting news shows, raising concerns about him mixing policing with partisan politics. In addition to Dr. Phil's shows, Chell has regularly appeared on Newsmax, a pro-Trump outlet, and Fox News. Wearing full uniform, Chell appeared on Newsmax from inside Madison Square Garden during Trump's October 2024 campaign outlet at the arena. Last year, The News reported that Chell — before being promoted to become the NYPD's chief of department — was even considering quitting public service to join Newsmax as a paid political commentator. Since then, Chell has bolstered ties with Trump, including golfing with the president at his New Jersey club last month, while also attracting scrutiny from city oversight agencies over some of his political activities. Chell, a registered independent voter, didn't violate rules or laws by having his Texas tab picked up by Dr. Phil. Chell also regularly appears on media outlets seen as less partisan, including local and national TV stations. Still, Manhattan Councilwoman Gale Brewer, a Democrat who's the chairwoman of the Council's Oversight Committee, argued Chell appearing on overtly pro-Trump outlets takes on a potentially problematic political overtone. 'It could be a problem to go on quasi news channels that are very conservative and Trump-oriented because it doesn't look great for the police department,' said Brewer, whose committee has oversight to probe the NYPD. 'But it is not illegal as far as I can tell.' Ken Frydman, a longtime New York media consultant who has worked for several of the NYPD's labor unions, agreed with Brewer, calling Chell's Dr. Phil appearance 'not only bad optics' but also 'inappropriate.' Senior police officials like Chell, Frydman added, shouldn't engage in activities that could be construed as 'public political positions' as that could send a signal that the NYPD as a whole is partisan. Details about Chell's Texas trip were included in his 2024 financial disclosure, provided to The News this month by the city Conflicts of Interest Board. The document shows Dr. Phil, a vocal Trump supporter whose real name is Phil McGraw, paid between $1,000 and $5,000 on 'travel & lodging' for the chief. The disclosure, which only offers a range as opposed to an exact dollar figure, says the trip had a 'city-related' purpose, meaning Chell's travel was considered an official government activity. Adams' office has routinely said the city pays for expenditures related to official activities municipal employees engage in. But an NYPD spokesperson noted the City Charter allows for officials to accept travel costs as a gift when 'the trip is for a City purpose and therefore could properly be paid for with City funds.' 'The purpose of the trip was to exchange views regarding policing in America, including discussion regarding the challenges facing New York City amid the migrant crisis,' said the spokesperson, who didn't provide the exact cost of Chell's accommodations and airfare. Earlier this year, the Department of Investigation determined that Chell violated NYPD guidelines by using his official social media accounts to go after political critics online, a finding that came after Chell had planned to deliver remarks at a Republican club meeting in Queens. Then, earlier this month, it emerged the Department of Investigation has separately started looking into a complaint alleging Chell misused police resources by bringing his security detail along with him as he traveled to his Trump golf outing last month. That complaint was filed by Rev. Kevin McCall, a Brooklyn civil rights activist and pastor. In response to Dr. Phil paying for Chell's Texas trip, McCall said NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch should 'get a hold of this media monger.' 'This is an insult to every New Yorker who expects NYPD to be a public institution not a personal brand platform,' McCall said. 'John Chell is being allowed to run rogue.' Since Chell's Texas trip, Dr. Phil has grown increasingly close with Adams and his administration. Last month, the New York Times reported Dr. Phil introduced Adams to Tom Homan, Trump's 'border czar,' who then proceeded to coordinate with administration officials on deportation raids that were called off by Tisch amid concerns they would have violated local sanctuary laws. Recently, Dr. Phil's TV network also signed a deal with Adams' office to do a documentary called 'Behind the Badge,' which is expected to highlight the work of the NYPD, specifically focusing on Chell and Kaz Daughtry, Adams' deputy mayor for public safety. Adams spokeswoman Kayla Mamelak declined this month to share a copy of the Dr. Phil contract. _____

Bad news for Shehbaz Sharif as Pakistan nears bankruptcy, will soon face Rs 650000000000 'bomb' due to....
Rs 7500 crore drones, intelligence and Jihad: Pakistan and this Muslim country planning big conspiracy against India, trying to… New Delhi: Bankrupt Pakistan is likely to witness more financial crunch in the current financial year. According to the reports, if Pakistan fails to repay a debt of Rs 6.50 lakh crore (approximately USD 23 billion) during this period, a default is likely. Citing Pakistan's Economic Survey 2024–25, The News reported that the government is required to repay USD 23 billion in debt during 2025–26. Failure to do so could push the country to the brink of default. The country's total public debt stood at Rs 76.01 trillion by the end of March 2025. This includes Rs 51.52 trillion in domestic borrowing (approximately USD 180 billion) and Rs 24.49 trillion (around USD 87.4 billion) in external loans. The external debt is divided into two parts: funds borrowed directly by the government and loans received from the IMF. This debt has accumulated over years due to economic mismanagement, temporary funding solutions, and repeated bailouts. However, the repayment demands for this year have exposed how little room the government has left to maneuver. USD 12 Billion in Temporary Deposits The bankrupt Pakistan is required to repay USD 23 billion this year. To meet this obligation, USD 12 billion will be received as temporary deposit amounts from four of its friendly countries. These include USD 5 billion from Saudi Arabia, USD 4 billion from China, USD 2 billion from the United Arab Emirates, and USD 1 billion from Qatar. Here are some of the key details: Pakistan is required to repay USD 23 billion this year. USD 12 billion will be received as temporary deposit amounts from China, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. USD 5 billion from Saudi Arabia, USD 4 billion from China, USD 2 billion from the United Arab Emirates, and USD 1 billion from Qatar. If any of these countries decide to withdraw their support, Pakistan will have to repay the entire amount within this year. The News has warned that if these friendly nations refuse to extend the rollover of their deposits, the situation could deteriorate further. This would make repayment unavoidable for the government, pushing it to rely more on diplomatic goodwill than on financial strength. And there are signs that even that goodwill is weakening. USD 11 Billion in Payments Still Pending The Shehbaz Sharif government still has to pay around USD 11 billion to external creditors this year even if all its temporary deposits are rolled over. This includes USD 1.7 billion in international bonds, USD 2.3 billion in commercial loans, USD 2.8 billion to institutions like the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, Islamic Development Bank, and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, and $1.8 billion in bilateral loans. This financial burden comes at a time when Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves are already under pressure. The country has limited sources of new income and is still awaiting a new extended programme from the IMF.

Debt-ridden Pakistan is about to face a PKR 6,552,700,000,000 bomb in a few months
Pakistan has kicked off its new fiscal year with a massive repayment bill of over $23 billion in external debt, The News reported, citing the Pakistan Economic Survey 2024–25. The government must settle these payments during 2025–26, and failure to do so could place the country on the edge of default. By the end of March 2025, the country's total public debt stood at Rs 76.01 trillion. That includes Rs 51.52 trillion in domestic borrowing (roughly $180 billion) and Rs 24.49 trillion (around $87.4 billion) in external loans. The external debt is made up of two parts: money borrowed by the government and funds drawn from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

But this year's repayment demand has exposed just how little room the government has left to manoeuvre. Lifeline or liability? $12 billion in temporary deposits Of the $23 billion Pakistan must repay this year, $12 billion comes in the form of temporary deposits from four so-called friendly nations, as reported by PTI. These are: $5 billion from Saudi Arabia $4 billion from China $2 billion from the UAE $1 billion from Qatar These funds are not permanent and are only useful if rolled over. If any of these countries decide to pull out, Pakistan will be forced to pay them back in full this year. Live Events The News cautioned, 'The situation can worsen if friendly countries refuse to grant rollovers on their deposits, which would make it compulsory for the government to make payments.' This leaves the government heavily dependent on diplomatic goodwill, not financial strength. And there are signs that even goodwill is wearing thin. $11 billion still to pay regardless Even if all the temporary deposits are extended, Pakistan must still cough up around $11 billion in repayments to external creditors this year, as reported by PTI. This includes: $1.7 billion in international bond repayments $2.3 billion in commercial loan payments $2.8 billion to multilateral creditors including the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, Islamic Development Bank, and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank $1.8 billion in bilateral loan repayments This pressure comes at a time when Pakistan's foreign reserves are already under stress. The country has limited sources of fresh income and is still waiting for a new extended programme from the IMF. Debt now consumes nearly half of federal budget Pakistan has earmarked Rs 8.2 trillion for domestic and external debt servicing in its 2025–26 budget. That figure makes up 46.7 per cent of the total federal budget of Rs 17.573 trillion. Put simply, nearly half the money Islamabad plans to spend this year is going towards repaying old loans. There is now less left for development, public services, or even basic maintenance of existing infrastructure. Education, health, and social welfare continue to take a backseat while interest payments dominate national spending. Military spending continues despite fiscal strain Despite this bleak financial outlook, Pakistan's defence expenditure has not slowed. While seeking bailouts and rollovers, the government has pressed ahead with large arms deals. It has finalised a strategic partnership with Turkey, which includes a $900 million drone deal and more than 700 loitering munitions. The partnership also covers intelligence sharing and broader security cooperation. The alliance has been described as one meant to 'do jihad against India' by military sources cited in reports. There are also ambitious trade goals of $5 billion tied into the arrangement. Additionally, Pakistan is reportedly acquiring 40 J-35A stealth fighter jets from China, supposedly at a discounted rate. These deals reflect the enduring priority given to military parity, particularly with India, even as the country's own economy remains fragile. A crisis years in the making Pakistan's current position is the result of decades of reckless borrowing, lack of fiscal discipline, and a powerful military establishment unwilling to scale back. The military, which has long seen itself as the guardian of national stability, has also been a major recipient of foreign aid and loans. Much of that money, critics say, has gone not into productive assets or economic upliftment but into defence and patronage. The result is a hollow economy, propped up by emergency funding, foreign deposits, and repeated IMF interventions. While Pakistan hopes for another round of diplomatic backing, there's no guarantee this time. Saudi Arabia has already begun demanding more reform and transparency before offering further help. China, facing its own economic headwinds, is also proceeding more cautiously. If even one major depositor refuses to roll over its funds, Islamabad will have no choice but to pay. And with limited reserves and few avenues for quick capital, that could lead to further economic distress or forced austerity. For now, Pakistan is racing the clock. The first repayments are due in a matter of months. And there's little sign of a long-term fix in sight.
