Hi Jeremy,
Thourough and quick...too bad I did'nt have this tool six/seven years ago, when I was looking for an IT job... But...no loss, I've got a job in distribution now...and I'm tha happiest flea in the fur :D Good job on the ... job page Thor |
Nice, but I cannot apply for jobs in Switzerland, for example. I am currently living in Brazil, however, as a German citizen I am eligible to work in Switzerland, so that's quite non sense... :(
|
This looks like a great resource both for finding employment opportunities and keeping informed on what skills are in demand. Thank you.

It will be nice if you can search for online jobs or jobs at distance, I mean, there are many jobs that does not requiere that the employee is on the same building or even country that his employer. I don't care if the company that is offering the job is in Germany and I live on Africa for example, if I can do the job (such as software development, web master, server administration, etc.). I have not seen any job finding tool that let you search using that filter, and I think that on year 2012 that's kind of incredible.
Just feedback :) |
Hmm International Linux jobs. Couple of months ago I saw a post offering a reward for and I quote.
"Up to £1000 referral reward for recommending an Embedded Linux Engineer". At first I thought cheek then I thought may be not such a bad idea. Posting and helping your community is a great advertisement. I wonder if recruiters ever look at our pages, the person with the reward obviously did. |

The difficult part is getting persons to post openings here. I got lucky--an employer who uses Linux posted an opening and I landed a job. What we need here at LQ is more employers posting openings. I suspect that a lot of employers don't even know about LQ, let alone know that LQ is full of Linux geeks who want opportunities to work with Linux. If they did, there would be more openings posted. I don't care that jobs might be posted here that are outside of my area. I would just like to see more visibility for LQ and LQ users. |
Its good idea, to start the LQ job market. The people who are let them apply. Many people are looking for the good and right opportunity. Its helpful for them. I wish all the best.
|
Looks good! :)
Can you display a column for the country flags from where applicants are eligible to apply? |
Oh! I have poor knowledge about linux and computer language. I am worry can't write a software about your require.
|
I don't how it works anywhere else but in the UK Employers use recruitment agency's heavily and recruiters collect potential employees by the bucket load. I agree with frankbell the first hurdle is getting employers to look at LQ but I would find it objectionable if recruitment agency's posted just collect more people.

Hi, thanks for this great list. I couldn't apply for a EU job 100miles from my city because it was in another country. Remember if you can work in the EU you can work in every country of the EU, not only your home country.

My dream

I think the biggest problem with this Jobs board is that it is not run by someone who has a user experience passion that we can talk directly with. It is outsourced. And that's probably the only option available, as running one inhouse at LQ is going to start out empty and that's (now days, anyway) very, very hard to grow from. I do have many ideas to make a great jobs website user experience, and have yet seen none of them actually deployed at any site. Look at the Job Function menu. All IT jobs are lumped together. Most IT people despise this because it doesn't help. IT jobs should be broken down. At least this site did allow multiple-click on these (some don't and that makes them worse). LQ readers are generally all going to be either hobbyists who have fun with Linux, small business owners running their own computers, academics, or IT professionals. Programmer jobs need to have choices of programming language and operating systems in many cases. Networking jobs need choices of the equipment and systems they are interested in. And these searches need to be based on positive matches, not negative matches. On many job boards, string search is the only available tool. But it does not work. I can put "linux" in as a keyword, and it would match a job that requires 10 years Windows administration experience and just mentions "knowledge of Linux a plus". That's just wrong. And then there is the "work at a distance issue". If the job form at least included that option, managers might start thinking about it. Now if only these details about how the whole site architecture should be like could reach the passionate people at jobthread.com, maybe we might see the first great job board in the future. But for now, their model seems to be more about taking a legacy job board design and opening it for integration at other sites. |
Thanks for your suggestions. There were great. Thanks again.
|
Now, this is something really helpful for those who are seeking jobs. Hope they would get some help from here.
Good work. |
Can you display a column for the country flags from where applicants are eligible to apply?
|
Thanks for the feedback. We don't have any specific plans to implement this feature, but will keep it in mind as a future enhancement.

IMHO, I think this "feature" of blocking applications outside the country should just be disable. |

since programming may be done remotely, is it possible that someone from an abroad country apply for a job in the site?
|
It's up to the individual job poster whether they would like to allow/accept remote or telecommuting applications.
