Glassdoor took the wraps off their new Job Explorer today, a webapp that lets you search for jobs that your skills qualify you for that you may be overlooking. The tool also features a map that shows where you can find work with your skills, anywhere in the country, based on specific openings available right now.
The video above is an excellent primer to the Job Explorer’s best features. To break it down though, the mapping tool lets you plug in your job title and then see where, across the US, there are openings that match your job title, all the way down to the county level. You can drill down on states and see the communities that have openings in them, how many there are, and the probability that you’ll find work based on the number of opportunities there now, the population in the area, and openings there in the past. You can even put in your spouse or partner’s job title as well so you can see where both of you have a good chance of finding work—that way you don’t move to find a job for one of you and the other has to struggle to get by.
Beyond that, the Job Explorer also connects you with job titles you may not even know you qualify for. The tool also has a button to show you jobs your skills qualify you for, which shows you job titles that people with your skillset and work history have held beyond the one you’re searching for. From there, you can see where those titles are in demand as well, and apply for those jobs as well.
The Job Explorer launched today, so expect a few quirks here and there, but you can check it out at the link below.
