Another idea - Job Market

 

Hello friends, 


I wonder if a "Job Market" tab would be interesting / worthwhile --- a forum where people could advertise watch-related, or other, career opportunities. 

We all share the same hobby by virtue of being on this site, but perhaps we share more career related interests as well. This Job Market forum could be used to advertise both watch industry-specific career offerings (like the current reporter job at Hodinkee, or the newly launched FHH Haute Horlogerie certificate, or general info on how to become / do X, Y, or Z in the watch industry) as well as broader career options (PR, advertising, trading, project planning, education, tourism, publishing, etc etc, are all skills and job markets that our community has many talented people in). 

This Job Market might be a useful two-pronged approach to building out our community to both directly support the watch industry and directly support each other. 

Cheers, 
Matt

Suggestions for PuristSpro

Friends, I wanted to share a few quick suggestions for the PuristSPro website. Please add to the list, refine my ideas, and so on. Thanks! (1) Create a " Suggestions Box " for users to log their ideas for site improvement. It could fit nicely in between "...  

Timing, it is all about timing ...

and even when I appreciate your thoughts in general - this is probably the wrong time to think about it. This is one of the busiest weeks, because of SIHH 2015. Sorry! Best, Oliver

Matt, thanks for the suggestions.

As Oliver noted, tough to focus on these right now, but the feedback is appreciated and will be reviewed. Best, CaliforniaJed

Thank you Matt for your feedback

Thank for taking the time to put your thought on paper and clearly. It is always easy to criticize but most people stop their. But it is much harder to offer ideas and solutions as you have. I do wonder though about an open forum for suggestions. I wonder...

I like your thinking.

Why not consider that. It is almost like "industry insider". Gossip opportunities and more. Broader but could encompass other aspects like career etc. Bill
