The idea for jobreality came from one of those "why hasn't somebody already done it" moments. And a few years later, here we are. We have spent a lot of time in hopefully making our site very easy to understand, user-friendly, and interesting.

I have always found time to talk to young people still at school, and it still seems to be the case at that age, that it's very difficult for them to know exactly what career to go into. And that's why it's very important to know what all the good and bad points are, of what you eventually end up doing.

Even the programmer (Murat) who helped me finish the website admitted, that he'd studied economics at university, but once he'd found employment, it wasn't the job for him. He rapidly taught himself programming, has become very good at freelancing, and has never been more happier since. (karagulle@gmail.com)

It's very slow going at the moment, trying to get people to put their jobs up on the site. I am hoping that once visitors start to see a succession of job reports coming in, that they will be more tempted to step in and realise the benefits that we can offer.

We are the only english language site in the world that draws personal analysis and job reports from working people. And possibly the first in any language.

The reason that all reports are published anonymously is twofold. Firstly the major stumbling block so to speak, is that I suspect a sizeable number of interested visitors who would like to engage are reluctant to sign up and talk about their income. So being anonymous deals with that.

Secondly, some members will be in types of jobs that are secretive, controversial or not people friendly. So it's better that everybody stays anonymous, rather than some are, and some not.

Where we would eventually like to be, is in a position where there are scores of reports for the same jobs. This gives users the chance to compare several reports and get a feel for what's involved. Some user reports will highlight particular areas more than somebody else's.

And that is good. Everybody sees their job differently, and users will be able to draw their own conclusions where some comments agree, or disagree. They can also enter certain search criteria which reflects the type of job that they would like to be interested in, see the results, and ponder on that.

For young adults leaving education, we would hope that once reading the information here, they can apply more confidently for a new career, knowing that they have major plus factors at their disposal, and no minus ones. And for oldies like us too!

With all the secondary details like age, sex, nationality and so on, users can have fun analysing all sorts of data, perhaps seeing what type of job attracts particular people to it.

If you are a visitor right now, I hope you can see that there are endless possibilities of what you can do with our search page. But what determines how well, and how fast we succeed, if at all, is what you do next.

If you're not really interested in this site and leave, then fair enough, and best wishes to you. If you like the idea of what we hope to achieve, and can see future benefits for yourself and/or your family one day, then you have a judgement to make, if you are currently working, or have just left a job.

If you leave too, and hope other people will sign up and leave job reports, it just may not happen that well. If you go to sign up now, and leave a job report later, then our message will get through to lots of other visitors too, and we can all make good progress together.

All visitors are welcome to sign up, regardless of age or work status.

Best wishes to you all, and we hope to see you here again soon.
