...the modern guide to job hunting
I'm looking for a job. Its a lot harder than I thought.
The internet is awash with great jobs, poor jobs , high flying jobs and low slung jobs. You can sit in Iceland and look at a job in China. Look at a great role in New York from your home in Leeds.
You can spend all day at work looking for a job. Only to find your own advertised.
But its tiring and trying. Too many sites, too many jobs, too many recruiters, too many categories, too many agents.
I'd like to create a world job page.
A simple table listing every vacancy on the planet.
with ...job title....location....duties....benefits.
Maybe Something like this:
Pontiff....... Vatican........Flock Tendering........Infallibility;
Chairman.......Wall Street........Decision Making.......Power;
Barman.......London Pub......Serving.......Stories;
Street Sweeper....Paris....Cleaning.....The wonderment of toddlers;
That's it. No wages mentioned. No "must be motivated self starter" or "appreciator thruster" or any of that other Myers Briggs type nonsense.
Just a link to the role.
Every job in the world indexed through how you benefit as a human being.
It' a rough idea but I think I'm on to something.
In the meantime back to the job sites...
