Hello all, We need a jobs wanted page where we can ask other members if jobs are available and a place to post links to our resume's and stuff like that. I already feel that the folks at WiserEarth understand more about who I am and where I might be able to do the most good.

We do all tend to think in similar ways about larger issues.

I hate to admit it but I really need a job. I am an environmental designer that works in entertainment and in the housing design and construction industry.

I'm available to travel and looking forward to working with progressive governments outside the U.S.

Please visit wholearthbuilder.com click the resume' link. Please feel free to look around as well.
Questions? comments? email me here or at wholearthbuilder@mac.com

Is this a suggestion that might turn upside down, the way jobs are fond? 

Is what is be asked - is there away for people who know people, to connect their knowledge about what is going on and what is needed, to people that have that knowledge to offer suggestions or help to the person in need of a job?

If so, that’s an entirely different way of understanding how jobs are connected with people, not people connected with jobs.  It’s about who could fulfill or grow into work what was needed, but the need needs to be known – needs connected to people.

Is it a question of exploring a wider circle of awareness for people who are looking and developing that circle?

If so how would that circle be developed and expanded?  What would the ‘area of focus’ be?  For example how could people who have contributed to WE become a knowledge base of such collaboration?  Could it be “framed” as help, a place where people could share their job experience with people who have a lesser or are new to the world of work?

Instead of asking for a job, it would be a place were people who have jobs, careers and knowledge about how it all works and could share experiences with people who are looking to attain that “bliss?”

So could the area of focus be not jobs, but “work knowledge” that would be beneficial to job seekers?

... your thoughts?

Not sure we want to duplicate / compete with a whole host of job posting / listing services. What does interest me is rethinking jobs. I've been advocating a bit for some for of structure for consultants/experts who want to sell or volunteer their experience to the WE community. This would require chunking of a person's experience in their profile and the ability for a user to ask for recommendations from his/her clients. We want reputation to come through. It would be great if people could signal their willingness to help out and how much they would be willing to do - paid or unpaid. This sort of mixes some of the freelancer sites out there with Linked-in. Again, whatever was done on WE would need to meet a distinctive need core to the community - there is no sense in duplicating a commercial site that would simply do it better! Perhaps this is part of the connecting.

Look, it's really quite simple. I'm a whole systems designer and I need a project or job to pay my bills, to eat, to live. I design homes and communities based on the concepts of Natural Capitalism and Buckminster Fuller etc.ie whole systems design.

 

It seems that a person with my particular skills set should be in high demand right now. But I'm finding it difficult to find paying clients.

 

Perhaps your next home should be super energy efficient and totally off the grid? You should hire me to design and build such a home.

 

Perhaps you are a land owner and you want your land to be gently developed so that people and nature can co exist for many future generations? You should hire me to develop such a project.

 

This is a special place. It is a type of universe where I should able to ask for exactly what I need. As long as it falls within the basic scope of sustainability and the principles of Nat Cap and Leads us to a WiserEarth.

 

WholEarth, WiserEarth, Whole Earth... This place is my home. And you are my family. I have special needs.

 

I know, perhaps we could just have a link to "Post a Skill"?

 

Or a page called "Jobs Wanted"?

 

Thank you all for your thoughts.
