Networking for jobs

You don't have to be a deal-maker or hopelessly rich to attend Herb Allen 's media maven conference in Sun Valley. In fact, you don't even have to be employed.

On The Money nabbed the Allen & Co. attendees list, which includes a handful of lucky individuals who are sufficiently important to simply warrant a golden ticket, regardless of their employment status.

Cathie Black , former Hearst magazine chief and New York City schools chancellor for a few minutes, is slated to attend and can perhaps break bread with her predecessor, Joel Klein .

Former CBS Interactive boss Neil Ashe , who left his position earlier this year after engineering the $1.8 billion CBS/CNET merger, appears on the list with no corporate appendage.

Of course, that's not to say these folks are spending time eating bonbons on the sofa.

Former Viacom exec Tom Freston was at the conference last year and is set to attend this week while eschewing many big media job offers and quietly working on his own endeavors.

Slingbox creator Blake Krikorian will be there under his own id8 Group Holdings banner.

Our sources say Krikorian has just launched a new Android in-home app that powers media devices. He's helped get streaming video firm Move Networks sold to EchoStar and was involved in the Clicker sale to CBS.

In fact, being between gigs can be the best thing for your job networking. Former MySpace CEO Owen Van Natta was named to a top job at Zynga soon after last year's Idaho schmooze-fest, which was also attended by Zynga's soon-to-be multimillionaire, Mark Pincus , after announcing his IPO on Friday.

Both social-networking gamers are expected to touch down at Hailey airport, Sun Valley, this week. Claire Atkinson

Life of Brian

What a week for " NBC Nightly News" host Brian Williams .

First, he's credited with reeling in 876,000 new viewers for his evening newscast, which leads all networks with an audience of 8.6 million. Then, he makes an astonishing announcement that he'll be running for president . . . well, sort of.

The charismatic anchor hasn't made any official announcement, but that hasn't stopped a grassroots campaign from forming in his honor.

BrianWilliamsForPresident.com is loaded with hysterical campaign ads, posters and volunteer sign-up forms all designed to inspire the leap from anchor to leader of the Free World.

Top 25 Universities for Corporate Job Search - CBS MoneyWatch.com

Why Job Recruiters Love Big Universities

Football isn’t the reason why corporation love big state schools. Here are the top reasons:

Corporate budget cutbacks have reduced the travel of job recruiters making it more practical to focus on larger schools. Graduates of top state universities are often better prepared academically. State schools are more likely to provide college students with practical work skills. Corporations have formed partnerships with some state schools giving them access to professors and students.

Lynn O’Shaughnessy is the author of  The College Solution and she also writes for TheCollegeSolutionBlog

You have to keep in mind that engineering is huge right now. Who goes to Yale or Harvard to major in engineering? A lot of the schools listed here are big engineering schools, so there should be no surprise they have good hiring rates. When I think of the Ivy League schools, I think of medical, legal, and business programs. For the medical and legal professions, how many people go into business for themselves initially, as opposed to getting hired by an office/hospital? I guess I can ask the same question about Ivy League business majors...how many of them pursue start-ups or assume roles in family businesses rather than apply for regular jobs? Can this lower the official hire rates for these schools?
