About WantMyJob

Looking for jobs at WMJ? Information about our VCs and funding? The fax number for the corporate office? We're too small to have any of that. Sorry! My email address is on the upper right of the page up there, if you've got questions. I'm friendly!

WMJ is the one-person project of Noah Gibbs, a professional and amateur software developer.

Why WantMyJob?

Job hunting is painful for anybody in high tech. It's hard to get an honest description of a job. It's hard to get a real list of jobs. It sucks for employees and companies. Companies waste lots of money on it. Headhunters get paid huge amounts of money to mercilessly badger candidates who aren't interested and don't match the job.

Most job descriptions are so generic they're useless. Some are a pack of lies. Want to know what working at the company is like? Good luck with that. Good jobs get buried, bad jobs look good, and you just can't tell what's what.

And as coworkers, we hate hiring somebody that just doesn't fit. Too negative? Too positive? Too trendy? Too stressed? Sure, he'd be great somewhere else, but we hired him here, and now what do we do? How could we have known in advance?

And so...

I ask you and a bunch of other people about yourselves and places you've worked. I wrote a bunch of code and math to match you up where you'll fit. Bad jobs don't attract good candidates, Steelers fans can avoid all-Cowboys offices, and it's ponies and rainbows for everyone! Yay!

Why the Heavy Slant toward Computer Programmers?

I write what I know. Also, computer programmers have the problems above in spades.

With that said, there should definitely be better questions for people in your line of work. Suggest questions for the site! If we get too many weird questions that don't apply to most users and their jobs, we'll find a way to fix that, I promise.
