another revolution
I can’t believe I haven’t blogged for over a month. Apologies to my three readers, if you’re still around
I heard an ad on the radio this morning, about jobslive I hadn’t heard about the site before, so I thought I’d check it out. first impressions:
a) because I’d only heard the address I went first to www.jobslife.com.au, i know i know maybe not intuitive like jobslive.com.au but that’s a hindsight. Maybe these guys want to register jobslife too in case there are more clueless users like me.
b) i like the site’s layout and color scheme – maybe a bit heavy on the make up (all that mascara darling!!), but let’s see if it gets too much for returning visitors or it becomes a new standard on design. it’s certainly different/more contemporary
c) it has a separate dedicated area for employers branded hrlive, already including ad prices comparable if not lower to some of the top three so we know where they’re heading. Also, I think a resume or profile dbase is in the making for sale as soon as numbers are chunkier.
d) the ad announced that job seekers can find out if their application has been received/their resumes read. which to me is an add on that had been missing since forever from the candidate experience. Applications can also be withdrawn after the send button has been pushed. I am unsure how popular this function will be, but it was good for me because I canceled the bogus application I sent to test the site
e) the strap line, in case it could have been changed. was not the right one specially after jobs.com.au. Coming from southamerica I am not sure how many more revolts and revolutions I can outlive.
