Why should I use joblish?
Because
it will save you time. joblish is designed
to make it more efficient to keyword search. Here’s an example. Go to
www.indeed.com and search for positions within 25 miles of
Chicago
using the keywords “Marketing Manager”
and “Product Manager”. As I’m writing this, I got 767 hits. If you take one minute
to read the summary, click through the job and make a decision whether or not it
interests you, it would take you nearly 13 hours just to get to the end
of the list. If all those postings were coded with
joblish, the searcher could use
joblish codes
as search keywords. The number of hits would be greatly reduced and the quality
of those hits greatly enhanced.
What does it cost to use
joblish?
Nothing.
joblish is free
to individual users, whether for resumes, profiles, job ads etc.
Licenses are available for companies that want a direct link to
joblish.com on their website.
Do I have to register to
use joblish?
No.
joblish can be
used by anyone – registered or not. There is an advantage to registering. Registered
users will be informed when changes are made that effect them, and they will be
notified of future enhancements and services as they are introduced.
Does
joblish take the place of a resume
or job ad?
No.
joblish is intended
to help Web users search for job ads and resumes more efficiently. By using
joblish in resumes
and job ads, search routines will return fewer hits than with conventional keyword
searching. The hits returned will be better matches. This frees up more time to
read the ads and resumes and seriously consider what makes each person or job ad
special and worth pursuing. joblish is an add-on to, not a replacement for, resumes, job ads
and personal profiles.
Where did
the industry listings come from?
Our staff
surveyed the web looking for common words referred to as an industry in the everyday
usage. We tested our results using Google. If “XXXXX Industry” came up
in a Google search, we typically called it an Industry or Sub-Industry.
Will
joblish be updated or changed?
Yes. We
encourage all of our users to jot us a note when they see something we’ve missed
or mishandled. We don’t pretend to have all the answers. Input from users will help
make joblish more useful
for everyone. Version 1.1 is already in the works to add Licenses & Certifications
and Version 1.2 is getting started defining Skillsets. Version 1.3 will incorporate
a way for companies to contact qualified candidates directly while preserving the
candidate’s confidentiality. Version 1.3 is a good reason to become a registered
user.
Why aren’t there any titles
in joblish?
Titles
are written for many different reasons including marketing, status and management
philosophy.
In our everyday lexicon, a Sales Engineer isn’t necessarily an engineer, an Account
Manager may not be any different than an Territory Representative, and a Controller
may perform the same functions as a Chief Accountant. A manager doesn’t necessarily
manage people. It comes down to the context and what the writer meant. We decided
that joblish should
describe attributes and we’d leave titles to individual users.
What if
my education doesn’t support the career I’m in?
If you
think your educational qualification doesn’t support your career, and might count
against you, simply omit the joblishE
code(s) from your resume or profile. There is no requirement that you use all the
Joblish codes available to you.
