profiles; authentic people describing their employment in our
questionnaire/chart, and allows you to contact them anonymously with
any questions you may have. The profile is designed to educate you
thoroughly on a person's employment and to help guide you with your own employment search. We also have a STATS feature for
every job category which shows you the average income and the average
most/least important priority to people who have that job. This is
designed to show you how similar your priorities are to people who are
in that position. Currently we have about 1700 profiles that are live
but we will be adding 200-400 monthly. Our participants are from all
over the United States in over 30 job fields, ranging in income and
education level. Not all profilers allow for The "Ask Me" direct
question portion of our site. Currently 96% will allow
for questions. A profile becomes live when at least half is
complete. There are spelling errors and other grammatical content on some of the profiles. We do not change or touch any of the profiles content. It is directly from the mouths of our participants uncensored!
