How It Works: Job Listings
On this page: Creating a Job Listing • Maintaining • Searching
Creating a Job Listing
The My Job Listings page shows all of the job listings you have created. To add a new one, click the Add a New Listing button. This page allows you to specify a title for the listing; the continent and region; whether it is a remote opportunity; the date by which a job needs to be filled; and a full description of the position, using Markdown. Once you save the listing, it will be visible to the other citizens here.
Maintaining and Sharing Your Job Listings
The My Job Listings page will show you all of your active job listings just below the Add a Job Listing button. Within this table, you can edit the listing, view it, or expire it (more on that below). The View link will show you the job listing just as other users will see it. You can share the link from your browser, and other Jobs, Jobs, Jobs users will be able to log on and view it.
Expire a Job Listing
Once the job is filled, or the opportunity has passed, you will want to expire the listing; this is what the Expire link allows you to do. When you click it, you will be presented with a single question – was the job filled due to its listing here? If not, leave that blank, click the Expire button, and the listing will be expired. If you click that box, though, another Markdown editor will appear, where you can share a story of the experience. This is not required, but if you put text there, it will be recorded as a Success Story, and other users will be able to read about your success.
Once you have at least one expired job listing, the My Job Listing page will have a new section below your active listings, where you can see your expired ones. You can still view the expired listing, and links that you may have shared will still pull up the listing; there will be an “expired” label beside the title, so that whoever is viewing it knows that they are reading about a job that is no longer available.
Searching Job Listings
Active job listings are found on the Help Wanted! page. When you first bring up this page, you will see several criteria by which you can narrow your results, though none are required. When you click the Search button, you will see open job listings filtered by whatever criteria you specified. Each job displays its title, its location, whether it is a remote opportunity, and (if specified) the date by which the job needs to be filled.
Clicking the View link on a listing brings up the full view page for a listing. This page displays all of the information from the search results, along with the citizen who posted it, and the full details of the job. All the citizen’s contact information is displayed, and you can use any of these means to get in touch with them to inquire about the position.
