1. I'm hiring.

2. Because I've worked in/ on a jobs board in the past (that was fun @ShanePike) I found myself thinking through a lot of old lessons, stats.

This post doesn't seem to exist on the web anymore, but I referenced things I learned from it several times this week.
The way people search for jobs is cyclical day-to-day every week. Image
The biggest day of organic job search interest is typically the Monday after New Years, every year. Image
Historically (this is the stat I kept citing internally the last few weeks) the period between Thanksgiving and New Years Day is when the fewest people are in-market for a new job.

(I don't know if this will be true during COVID/ a recessionary environment - but I'll find out!) Image
Most hiring managers and executives would be surprised to learn how few people search for jobs at *their* company, specifically.

With widespread WFH & hybrid working, I'd love to see how people search today and whether that has changed. Image
Most people job search during working hours.

Read into that what you will; but I've theorized that most people who are organically searching for jobs are intentionally leaving something.

Separating FROM, not proactively joining TO if you will. Image

Holy crap Grosjean's car was cut in half! #F1
He was in this part of the car, that physically went through the barrier, at over 100 mph.

You can see the halo that saved his life in this photo. Image
As a firefighter who's responded to car accidents I am amazed he crawled out of this... while on fire, no less.

What's the most bizarre, highly-compensated job you've ever heard of?

Example: I met a CDL driver at the Gainesville, FL airport who delivers custom ordered RVs for a living. Drives them wherever nation-wide, flies or takes Amtrak home. Earns over six figures.
Commercial salmon boat captains in Alaska pull down highly variable incomes (they have to manage expenses, incl diesel fuel, deckhand salaries, licenses and food) but in good years they clear 60 - 80k in ~8 weeks between May and end of July. ImageImageImage
Another candidate: when I lived in San Francisco I met a guy that worked as a deployable emergency commercial diver; doing underwater NDT testing on ocean-going freighters that struck something, cutting nets or lines out of motors, etc.

Cleared 6 figures handily.

"Some 33% of people who traded in cars to buy new ones in the first nine months of 2019 had negative equity, compared with 28% five years ago and 19% a decade ago..."
