Week 8 Review: Relevancy, Usability Fixes, Login, Weekly Digest

Ciao, friends!

As a part of my job curation process, I am going through dozens and dozens of job boards. Most of them boast about the total number of jobs they have for job seekers. And for companies wanting to advertise on the job board, the total number of subscribers.

But why should I care if a job board has "Thousands of subscribers" when they aggregate all professions, levels, locations, etc? So, if I am a company and I am looking to hire a Product Designer, I want to know how many Product Designers will see my ad, not every job seeker out there. More targeted and relevant has more value, doesn't it?

It is the same for the other side - job seekers. When I receive a newsletter from a job board that claims to have thousands of Design jobs, I scroll and scroll through the long list of completely irrelevant jobs to find only a couple that may be it.

I don't care that you have thousands of Design jobs. It's such a broad segment with dozens of roles. Are they just inflating numbers to seem more valuable than they are? Wasting my time as a job seeker.

I don't get it 🤔

Remote work tip

Clearly Defined Communication channels: Clearly define which communication channels to use for different purposes. For example, we use a WhatsApp for quick questions to the product team, the project management tools "Linear" for task-related discussions with developers, and emails for project updates and non-task related discussions with developers. By having these categories defined, it becomes easier to incorporate effective communication into my workflow and ensure that I'm not missing any important messages or sending urgent messages into the void.
