I've just accepted a job offer and so, I won't update journal here but I'll keep improving other parts.
getHired basically have these following functions:
- show career goal, career stories
- Q&A where you can ask questions in Issues section
- curation of resume, interview, networking tips, etc.
- journal your findings, thoughts in job hunting
- showcase your projects
- more waiting for you to create!
If you're a job seeker, you can use this as a template in your job hunting. For others, this is a chance to contribute to open source project and learn from others.
One of common practices in looking for work is to state you're open to work and have connections share your posts on LinkedIn. But there are several weaknesses:
- No time frame
- No tracking of progress
- No colloboration
This pushes me to think of a more interactive way to ask for help, to share knowledge or experience. Then I think GitHub is a good place to be.
GitHub is:
- suitable for multiple people colloboration
- free, public to everyone
- good at version control
A timeframe is good for both you(supporter) and me. If you care about the result but don't want to know details, check this repo 3 months later. Another reason is that my current saving can only support me for another 3 months. If I can't achieve the goal, I'll leave this country.

It utilises the theory of six degrees of separation. The more people participated, the better result it would be.
No one cares. Then I'll leave without regret.
Be a human.
