With no money. No concept or knowledge of web development. Home is a Van. Office is the public library. Heroin and Meth addicts for spiritual guidance. I attempt to create a website.
I have had this internet website for a long long time now. A job board website. A website to help people find a job. Ok, not a trailblazing idea. But I got my secret sauce.
Monster.com had a yearly revenue of 1 billion a year.
Linkin has surpassed them in traffic and revenue
Indeed just got sold for a billion.
And who do you know that has used these websites and gained a job?
These websites are not effective and yet the revenue are so high. For we have all been been unemployed. That feeling of desperation. The stress of submitting resumes. Dressing up and selling ourselves and then praying we be selected. It drives people to search in all avenues to gain money.
Thus you have the revenue.
There isn't much of of the undiscovered internet frontier left. All money making zones of the internet has a clear leader. Social networking - Facebook, Product selling - Amazon Ebay, Porn - Covered well.
There is only one money making sector left without a true front runner. Job Boards.
The lack of a leader is clearly an indication of the ineffectiveness of the sites. Who do you know that went on Monster and found a job. Craigslist is slightly more effective but then the internet has not helped out. The process is still the same. Write a resume, lie on a bunch of stuff, submit it, wait, wait, bug the Hr rep, wait, wait, dress in foreign clothe to impress, smile, act like life is the company, answer every question with yes, smile, wish the other applicants good luck, go home, wait, watch price is right, get email, get depression because we feel not being selected is a personal attack.
There has to be better way
