Under the Hood: LinkUp Job Search Engine

 

LinkUp is a job search engine, which aggregates and publishes jobs directly from company websites.  According to the LinkUp site, using LinkUp over traditional job boards provides these benefits: 

Always Current: When a company adds or removes a job from the company site, the LinkUp site updates itself — automatically.

Often Unadvertised: All jobs are collected directly from company websites, not ‘pay-for’ job boards.

Never Fake: You won’t find duplicate jobs or work at home scams. Just high-quality job listings.

As of this writing, LinkUp has 410,043 available jobs, and 19,629 company websites in its database.

Peg's LinkUp Search Entry for Twitter Contest

I completed the job searches in the LinkUp database and tweeted my results on Twitter, as part of an online contest, How You Can Help Job Seekers Using Twitter, sponsored by JobDig chairman, G.L. Hoffman.

Yesterday, Hoffman selected me as the contest’s interim winner, based on a quote from my four-year son, which I tweeted about, in less than 140 characters, as follows:

To four-year-old son: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” “A king.” Check out his chances: http://tinyurl.com/d45mj8

My prize for searching on my small son’s noble career ambition in the LinkUp database and for reporting the result to the Twitter community is a graph G.L. Hoffman included in his blog post: Peg is the Interim Winner, But There’s Still Time.  My son’s graph is a fun family memory–one which we’ll all enjoy, long after this recession is over. Thank you, G.L.
