Welcome to Justin's dynamic application playground! Having grown so tired of filling out applications with so much similar information, I decided to move the content creation process here, to my blog, so I can own the content and use it to develop better applications, provide more insight for potential employers, and at the same time create the foundations for [[BetterFit]]: tools to help applicants and employers more efficiently and effectively match talent to opportunities.
The following applications are in no particular order. The criteria are loosely as follows:
Proximity: ideally, I'd like to telecommute. Regardless, I do not want to commute more than 15 minutes and would prefer to be able to do so via public transportation. Zipcode-based searches are the closest thing I've seen for tools to accomplish this end and they're not very good, often missing filters for other important aspects of the often elusive "fit" sought by both parties.
Compensation & Benefits: Based on my experience, education, and skills, I expect to earn my six-figure income. I am comfortable having as much as 50% of this come from commissions if the role is one with direct sales responsibilities. I also want to bring other elements of compensation and benefits into the conversation. Being able to bring my dog to work, for example, is a meaningful benefit to me.
Values: I want to share values with my employer and with my colleagues.
I respect and understand that our diversity is our strength, I do not want to spend the majority of my waking hours working to support the Koch brothers, as an example. Part of the vision for [[BetterFit]] is that employee/applicants should be able to add criteria that are meaningful to them:
Are you a signatory to the Paris Climate Agreement? Sustainability is an important issue to me; climate change is real and an employer who is not willing or able to understand, acknowledge, and take action about it is inherently less interesting to me than one where my contributions can support a sustainable future.
Do you report to CDP and GRI?
Are you a B Corporation?
Do you participate in 1% for the planet?
Do you have a CSR department and does their website content pass the sniff test?
What are your policies with respect to diversity and inclusion? What do your employees say about it on Glassdoor and in the real world?
What are your politial contributions and charitable donations?
Nature of work: I want to be able to leverage my creativity, drive, passion for sustainability, and strategic thinking. I have enjoyed success in sales roles and would like to be able to help my company grow. I want to be invited or expected to contribute ideas and strategic input as well as execute on a variety of tasks. I spend far too much time thinking about how to improve on the status quo to be happy stamping out widgets on an assembly line. I need to be able to engage thoughtfully with colleagues, and contribute to creatively solving the organization's problems.
