h4#listing-search Find a Job Listing
p.
Active job listings are found on the #[span.link 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
#[span.button 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.
p.
Clicking the #[span.link 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.
The citizen&rsquo;s name is a link to their profile page at No Agenda Social; you can use that to get their handle,
and use NAS&rsquo;s communication facilites to inquire about the position.
p: em.text-muted.
(If you know of a way to construct a link to Mastodon that would start a direct message, please reach out;
I&rsquo;ve searched and searched, and asked NAS, but have not yet determined how to do that.)
hr
h4#listing Job Listings
h5 Create a Job Listing
p.
The #[span.link My Job Listings] page shows all of the job listings you have created. To add a new one, click the
#[span.button 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 #[a(href="#markdown") Markdown]. Once you save the listing, it will be visible to the other
citizens here.
h5 Maintain and Share Your Job Listings
p.
The #[span.link My Job Listings] page will show you all of your active job listings just below the
#[span.button Add a Job Listing] button. Within this table, you can edit the listing, view it, or expire it (more on
that below). The #[span.link View] link will show you the job listing just as other users will see it. You can share
the link from your browser over on No Agenda Social, and those who click on it will be able to view it. (Existing
users of Jobs, Jobs, Jobs will go right to it; others will need to authorize this site&rsquo;s access, but then they
will get there as well.)
h5 Expire a Job Listing
p.
Once the job is filled, or the opportunity has passed, you will want to expire the listing; this is what the
#[span.link Expire] link allows you to do. When you click it, you will be presented with a single question &ndash;
was the job filled due to its listing here? If not, leave that blank, click the #[span.button 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.
p.
Once you have at least one expired job listing, the #[span.link 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 &ldquo;expired&rdquo; label beside the title,
so that whoever is viewing it knows that they are reading about a job that is no longer available.
hr
h4#profile-search Searching Profiles
p.
The #[span.link Employment Profiles] link at the side allows you to search for profiles by continent, the
citizen&rsquo;s desire for remote work, a skill, or any text in their professional biography and experience. If you
find someone with whom you&rsquo;d like to discuss potential opportunities, the name at the top of the profile links
to their No Agenda Social account, where you can use its features to get in touch.
hr
h4#profile Your Employment Profile
p.
The employment profile is your r&eacute;sum&eacute;, visible to other citizens here. It also allows you to specify
your real name, if you so desire; if that is filled in, that is how you will be identified in search results,
profile views, etc. If not, you will be identified as you are on No Agenda Social; this system updates your current
display name each time you log on.
h5 Completing Your Profile
p.
The #[span.link My Employment Profile] page lets you establish or modify your employment profile; the
#[span.link Dashboard] page also has buttons that let you create, edit, and view your profile.
ul
li.
The &ldquo;View Your Employment Profile&rdquo; link (which you&rdquo;ll see on this page, once your profile is
established) shows your profile the way all other validated users will be able to see it. While this site does not
perform communication with others over No Agenda Social, the name on employment profiles is a link to that
user&rsquo;s profile; from there, others can communicate further with you using the tools Mastodon provides.
The #[span.link Professional Biography] is the &ldquo;Objective&rdquo; part of a traditional r&eacute;sum&eacute;.
This section supports #[a(href="#markdown") Markdown], so you can include actual headings, formatting, etc.
li.
The &ldquo;Professional Biography&rdquo; and &ldquo;Experience&rdquo; sections support Markdown, a plain-text way
to specify formatting quite similar to that provided by word processors. The
#[a(href="https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/" target="_blank") original page] for the project is a
good overview of its capabilities, and the pages at
#[a(href="https://www.markdownguide.org/" target="_blank") Markdown Guide] give in-depth lessons to make the most
of this language. The version of Markdown employed here supports many popular extensions, include smart quotes
(turning "a quote" into &ldquo;a quote&rdquo;), tables, super/subscripts, and more.

Skills are optional, but they are the place to record skills you have. Along with the skill, there is a
&ldquo;Notes&rdquo; section, which can be used to indicate the time you&rsquo;ve practiced a particular skill, the
Skills are optional, but they are the place to record skills you have. Along with each skill, there is a
#[span.link Notes] field, which can be used to indicate the time you&rsquo;ve practiced a particular skill, the
mastery you have of that skill, etc. It is free-form text, so it is all up to you how you utilize the field.
li.
The &ldquo;Experience&rdquo; field is intended to capture a chronological or topical employment history; with this
&ldquo;quick-n-dirty&rdquo; implementation, this Markdown box can be used to capture that information however you
would like it presented to fellow citizens.

If you check the #[span.link Allow my profile to be searched publicly] checkbox #[strong and] you are seeking
employment, your continent, region, and skills fields will be searchable and displayed to public users of the
site. They will not be tied to your No Agenda Social handle or real name; they are there to let people peek
behind the curtain a bit, and hopefully inspire them to join us.
h4 Searching Profiles
h5 Viewing and Sharing Your Profile
p.
The &ldquo;View Profiles&rdquo; link at the side allows you to search for profiles by continent, the citizen&rsquo;s
desire for remote work, a skill, or any text in their professional biography and experience. If you find someone
with whom you&rsquo;d like to discuss potential opportunities, the name at the top of the profile links to their No
Agenda Social account, where you can use its features to get in touch.
Once your profile has been established, the #[span.link My Employment Profile] page will have a button at the bottom
that will let you view your profile the way all other validated users will be able to see it. (There will also be a
link to this page from the #[span.link Dashboard].) The URL of this page can be shared on No Agenda Social, if you
would like to share it there. Just as with job listings, existing users will go straight there, while other No
Agenda Social users will get there once they authorize this application.
p.
The name on employment profiles is a link to that user&rsquo;s profile on No Agenda Social; from there, others can
communicate further with you using the tools Mastodon provides.
h4 Finding Employment
h5 &ldquo;I Found a Job!&rdquo;
p.
If your profile indicates that you are seeking employment, and you secure employment, that is something you will
want to update (and &ndash; congratulations!). From both the Dashboard and the Edit Profile pages, you will see a
link that encourages you to tell us about it. Click either of those links, and you will be brought to a page that
allows you to indicate whether your employment actually came from someone finding your profile on Jobs, Jobs, Jobs,
and gives you a place to write about the experience. These stories are only viewable by validated users, so feel
free to use as much (or as little) identifying information as you&rsquo;d like. You can also submit this page with
all the fields blank; in that case, your &ldquo;Seeking Employment&rdquo; flag is cleared, and the
&ldquo;story&rdquo; is recorded.

The #[span.link Job Seekers] page for profile information will allow users to search for and display the continent,
region, skills, and notes of users who are seeking employment #[strong and] have opted in to their information being
publicly searchable. If you are a public user, this information is always the latest we have; check out the link at
the top of the search results for how you can learn more about these fine human resources!
