When searching for a job you can get frustrated and worn out by stumbling into all the quick money postings. The types of junk that lead you into paying money because they say you can make money, and you end up shorter on cash and worse off than when you started. Well there is a job search website that claims to prevent such postings.
The owners of that site also run some chat rooms and forums, so they know a few things about automated postings. They point out that people use Bots or automated posting programs to post the same stuff on forums as they do on job search sites. They say they see them all the time when they do research at other job search sites. Now as forum and chatroom owners, the trick is to make everyone who chooses to submit a job to wait for site team approval. If you know how lazy bot owners are, you know they do not create 100000 email addresses, so if they use one at all, it is the same one. So the crew at http://iworkwithpeople.com simply do a google (the magical mystical device) search on what information is givin, and if the applicant comes up within the list of internet badness, they refuse the applicant.
So far the site has been up for a few weeks, and well, all that has found them so far is spam bots and one single company. I liked what they did so I am posting a heads up on what they do. If you are looking to post a job, and do not use a spammers email address and or i.p. address , feel free to post a job at http://iworkwithpeople.com .
If you are looking for work, post a “work wanted” ad on there. Some one will respond. The level of privacy is amazing. Take a look around.
Oh yeah, did I mention the site was 100% free to all users? submit/search/resume the whole thing is totally free.
And inspired as I am from this “help the world find a job” post go listen to the podcasts at jobacle.com He reminds you that you are worth more than the job you think you are, and inspires you with motivating suggestions. Great podcast for getting the cubicle monkey out of you :-P
