EA - A new view for 80k's job board (plus some features) by Yonatan Cale

Link to original articleWelcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A new view for 80k's job board (plus some features), published by Yonatan Cale on August 24, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. TL;DR: The Airtable view can filter by free text (what's your profession?), by date-published (remove very old job ads), and more. We think this alone will make searching for a job much more convenient. We also built a custom version for software developers that has a few extra optimizations, which you can see here. Elevator pitch for software developers If you try filtering the 80k job board for “engineering”, you get 170 jobs, 75% of which are unrelated to software. This version has the other 25%. How 80k graciously exposed their Airtable data (and Kush, head of the 80k job board, commented about it), so we filtered it by “software” and “developer” (plus a few more tweaks), and left it as an Airtable UI. We have more plans for this This is just our version after 1-2 hours of work, we’re trying to launch fast and get feedback before we keep going. Update: Added a “Add missing info” button, for things like “the website says the position is already closed”, which others can then filter by. Added a filter for “this was posted in the last 12 months” by default (but you can remove it). Do you want to make your own version? It's really easy: Click “Use this data” on top of 80k's table or our unfiltered version (pulled from 80k). We are very eager for feedback Especially from people actually searching for jobs right now. DM, comment, tell us something anonymously, or anything else. We probably won’t build any feature unless someone asks for it.
