Welcome and thank you for BETA Testing our new Maritime Jobs Board!
Currently the market is scattered among several maritime job sites making it difficult and time consuming to find the latest offerings. We have received many emails asking if a one-stop-shopping solution exists and, up till now, the answer was no.
This new features aims at providing you with the best tools available, to post, share and discuss job openings but we need your help! We have created this section of the forum for you to provide us with feedback and to discus the feature with other gCaptain members with the intent of using your ideas to launch a killer Job Board that will land our members killer jobs. So please post your ideas, thoughts, and bug findings then feel free to discuss the feature with the fellow mariners on this forum.
I like the layout of the page a lot. The ability to comment on postings is a great feature and a must keep! I didn't actually try to upload my resume, but was wondering what the preferred format is for uploads? Also, the resume section won't be accessible to the search engine spyders, will it?
In my Indeed searches, I've been able to cut down on irrelevant results by searching company names. I set up RSS feeds using an ever-growing list of companies and industry-specific keywords ("Chief Engineer" gets results all over the place, but something like "QMED" or "OICEW" is more limited).
I've attached a copy of my Indeed feeds. If they are something you might be able to use, go right ahead. I know they can be easily plugged into the PIPES module.
I'm going to play around some more, those were some of my initial thoughts.
With the Resume upload I would reccomend just accepting pdf's. No one can complain they can't open it. A free pdf printer I use is Bullzip PDF Printer, as Adobe is far to expensive.
