How joblish^™ works.

Let’s begin with a fact we all know and understand: Words mean different things to different people. Simple things, like titles for example, have no clear or standard definitions. Take the title Regional Sales Manager.

In one company, it could mean someone who manages a team of Territory Sales Managers. In another, it may mean someone who manages a geographic territory and whose duties include direct selling. In yet another, it could mean a manufacturer’s rep or inside sales management. And so it goes.

In the end, the words chosen depend on context and what the writer wants to convey. This is true for companies seeking people and for job seekers writing resumes. But since computers have no understanding of nuance, there is a simple match or no-match result. There is no capacity for interpretation in computer key word searches.

There is no common language for use in job ads, directories, Web sites and resumes.

joblish solves the problem by creating a set of structured keywords that can be incorporated into resumes, job postings, directory entries, electronic business cards and Web sites. joblish searches are conducted using Boolean search logic.

Basic categories of joblish words are:

Industry (worked in)— joblish W (Version 1.0)

Industry (served)— joblish Q  (Version 1.0)

Department, Duties & Responsibilities— joblish D (Version 1.0)

Education — joblish E (Version 1.0)

Coming in the future:

Licenses & Certifications— joblish L (Version 1.1)

Skillsets — joblish S (Version 1.2)

Confidential Candidate Search (Version 1.3)

joblish words are structured as 13- to 16-character words that start with seven control letters followed by two to three main structure characters followed by two to three sub structure characters arranged in a hierarchical database. joblish words are intended to be looked up, just like serial numbers. To avoid confusion for the search engines, all joblish words begin with the word “joblish.”

Keep in Mind: joblish  words are not intended to make sense. They are not intended to be memorized or spoken. The best way to use joblish is “Copy & Paste”.

Let’s look at an example from joblish -Education.

Where joblishE is a control code identifying joblish —Education

E identifies a Bachelors degree

EN identifies the Engineering College

ME identifies the major field of study

Someone searching for a BSME, for example, would search for joblishEEENME. Someone looking for a candidate with any engineering degree would search for joblishEEEN??.

Why should I use joblish and how will it help unlock opportunities for candidates and employers alike?
