+  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’s name is a link to their profile page at No Agenda Social; you can use that to get their handle,
+    and use NAS’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’ve searched and searched, and asked NAS, but have not yet determined how to do that.)

+  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’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 –
+    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 “expired” label beside the title,
+    so that whoever is viewing it knows that they are reading about a job that is no longer available.

+
+  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’s desire for remote work, a skill, or any text in their professional biography and experience. If you
+    find someone with whom you’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 résumé, 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.
