Job Seekers Post
Let’s start a new trend in job seekers posts.
I want everyone who is looking for work to post what they can do, are really good at, have a particular talent for, are accomplished at, enjoy (with skills/talent) or want to learn.
People sometimes don’t think they have marketable skills, because they haven’t done the jobs that are advertised. That’s not true.
When you break down a job you find it requires all sorts of skills/talents/abilities that you may have. And employers are often more willing to train the right person to do the job than to hire someone who has the paper skills or background, if the person has the right personality.
A radio announcer is really just someone who can talk about anything, anywhere and constantly, without requiring much feedback. The person you can’t get a word in edgewise with.
An office admin is just someone who can time manage themselves, keep track of everyone and everything else, and point people in the right direction, to accomplish what they need, without completely losing their rag. A parent in other words.
It’s all about how you look at yourself and what you are doing everyday, and thinking what job
I can use that in. And looking at the jobs and thinking what does it take, that I can do, to do that job.
Journalists and reporters are good at writing and/or telling great stories about what they see.
Even gamers can use their skills to find careers. The armed forces literally have War Games divisions. Architecture and engineering (of all types, including civil engineering) use game skills.
So, if you are looking for work, try selling yourself here.
Post in the replies what you can do and what you want to do. Maybe the right employer will find you.
🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.8% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.2% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
