Resume copy/upload script sucks. I know.
Posted by Barak in FindAJobAlready.com, Site Features on October 20th, 2009
We had a great day traffic-wise yesterday, 18,596 visitors. Thank you everyone for coming to the site.
However, I got a lot of hate mail from users who told me the resume copy/upload script sucks. I know.
First of all, I’ve known this for a long time and I’ve just put it off to work on other parts of the site.
I’ve now made it a priority. The problem is this, the site is on a Linux server and most people have their resumes in Microsoft Word. I have not found a solution yet to parse the text from a Word document and put it into our MySQL database. The solution I came up with is to have the user define which sections of the resume are which by drag and dropping them over to the site.
It’s a pain to do. I know. It takes time and the dragging and dropping isn’t so easy to use.
If you have a suggestion, please leave it in the comments. I would love to hear what my users have to say.
In the meantime, I’ll look into finding another solution and you should use the “step by step” or “LinkedIn import” both of which work great.
Fixing bugs
Posted by Barak in FindAJobAlready.com on October 5th, 2009
We’ve been spending the past few months. So far, so good. We’ve found A LOT of bugs on the site. Afterall, we built this site from scratch. But slowly we’ve been finding them and fixing them.
We also got listed on Indeed.com, Juju.com and we have a feed of our new jobs going to Twitter. You can see them at www.twitter.com/faja_jobs.
The site is moving along nicely. If you have any suggestions you can make them at www.findajobalready.com/suggestions.
Over 100,000 jobs posted so far!
Posted by Barak in FindAJobAlready.com, Jobs on August 23rd, 2009
I’m very happy to say that the site is growing nicely. There’s always the problem of the “chicken and the egg” with a site like this. You need jobs to attract jobseekers and you need jobseekers to attract employers. I realized early on that I had to focus on getting jobs on the site. At this point we have over 100,000 jobs and it’s growing every day.
One reader of this blog asked me if these were real jobs. They are real jobs from real companies that want to post on FindAJobAlready.com. They are not from Indeed.com.
Now, ironically, I have to find people who want these jobs! One step at a time.
We Have Jobs!
Everyone is asking “Where are the jobs?” I’m happy to say that we currently have over 15,000 jobs on the site and there are more jobs posted every day. Right now the majority of the jobs are for bank tellers and banking sales.
You can browse the jobs here: http://www.findajobalready.com/jobs/browse.
There are jobs in many other areas and more coming soon. Please tell anyone you know looking for a job that we’ve got them.
Site features: LinkedIn profile importing to create a resume
Posted by Barak in FindAJobAlready.com, Site Features on July 23rd, 2009
I’m going to show you how easy it is to add a resume to FindAJobAlready.com if you already have a profile on LinkedIn.com. It literally takes a few minutes to have a resume on the site using this method.
What’s the big deal with RealMatch?
Posted by Barak in Job Boards on July 21st, 2009
Let’s talk for a minute about RealMatch.com. This site is been getting a lot of attention in the past year, and especially recently. Here’s the general idea behind RealMatch. You sign up for a free account. You fill out some forms, and the site automatically matches the information that you filled in on the forms to the jobs available on the site. The idea is that once you fill out these forms RealMatch is going to do all the work for you and you only need to come back when there are job offers that match the information that you filled. This is very similar to QuietAgent that I mentioned in a previous blog post. It’s a great idea. It’s such a great idea that I included it in this site. You can see the demo below.
So now what’s the big deal with RealMatch? Once again, it’s the PR. They have great PR. I have to give them credit also been making a lot of good deals with other companies. I know there was something recently about them joining in with the Philadelphia TV station. I think it’s great. I think are doing a great job. But ultimately, what is the big deal?
Employers have to pay per applicant that they want to be in contact with. However, on FindAJobAlready, it’s 100% free, for everyone. Whether you’re an employer or job seeker, the site is free. So if this site offers automatic job matching, and it’s free, what is lacking? The answer is jobs. I actually have over 250,000 jobs sitting in the database on the site. I’m just having some technical difficulties candidate getting the jobs integrated into the site properly. I guess that’s a future blog post.
But if you like the idea of RealMatch or QuietAgent, look no further. You’ve come to the right place. FindAJobAlready.com offers automatic job matching and automatic resume/candidate matching all for free.
