I like this project. Working in HR for a while, I saw some people hating their jobs. Some of them were hanging in there because they did not know how it's like to make a lateral move to other job or to a similar job in other company. I feel that linking the job description to companies would be something really interesting. I do not feel that this will turn into Glassdoor, even if I assume that will attract some hate from ex-employees and some subjective job descriptions.

I've considered the possibility of connecting this to indeed or monster, but at this point im trying to focus on education not placement. That being said, i'm open to this leading me to the appropriate market. I just want to make sure I help kids choose careers as that's a large part of how my idea came to be in the first place(personal experience).

Glassdoor is a common comparison because they have user submitted reviews, but those reviews are of what its like to work for a given company. As contrast, my site is what its like to do a given job.

Thank you!
