I think this is what my local job board is doing as well.

I know someone who tried to compete with them and offered a weekly print product along with the website, but they didn't last too long.



Ok. How are you going to execute better? Have you talked to any of your competitor's customers? Do they have any gripes about the website/pricing?


Yes, I have talked to their customers and the one thing that keeps coming up a lot is price.

I'm planning on organizing job fairs to help both job seekers and employers. I would also like to offer job seekers a way to build good resumes. As far as presentation, I believe my solution is a lot cleaner and easier to use. I want to help people find careers not jobs.

My competitors website has become a cesspool for advertising. (Non-employment related) I don't have a problem with advertising I know its another source of income for websites, but when I'm looking for a job the last thing I want to see is an ad for an overpriced car I cannot afford, that's why I'm looking for a job. :-)

Thank you for your reply.
