A thread on here got me thinking today I confess in a selfish way. We are a community, sometimes we get a bit shouty, but thats only because we care about our common interest, but we are a community and unusually in this day and age, we tend to help each other out.
I wondered if there was scope to extend that help for our mutual benefit. We already do it the form of group buys and pass-a-rounds, but could it stretch into other things?
Im unemployed and have been for 18 months. I admit for the first nine months I was playing out, taking a break from the awful life I had before and it was life changing and great, but the last nine has been about CVs false hopes and rejection. There are 14,000 plus members of this site, lets say half are employed, that is an inside track to 7,000 employers, 7,000 people who would probably hear about jobs coming up before they were advertised. I just wondered if there was scope for posting situations vacant or CVs or just things non-bushcrafty that we need help with in general.
Naturally my immediate concern is finding work, but collectively we have the power to do things, buy things, change things.
Just a thought.
