I brought some boards I designed and populated. People like stuff they can touch and ask questions about.
Jobs can be generic enough - post a link to something on one of the job boards - that you can apply that to other similar things. I think if you did it right there would be no fear of doxxing.
Just another thing to add to the list. Places like this are now the "outcasts" when places like this used to be most of the internet. The tide is turning but slowly. It would be good to start this going sooner than later. I just wonder how much other people here would be willing to help. I am not a SME on everything ;) No one is. It would be really cool to have somewhere that SME's would help you out though.
I've only interviewed in 1 place in the last 20 years, so I wouldn't be much use...the place I'm at is nerd utopia, so my experience probably doesn't match what others may experience. It's literally the only place I've ever been offered the job within an hour of my interview...didn't even get home and had a call saying when can you start.
Well...other than AT&T back during the Internet/Telco boom. That doesn't really count, if you could tell them why the backwards LED didn't turn on (it's backwards) they hired you.
That is awesome. Maybe I will be lucky enough to meet you in person. I don't travel much though and most of us don't like to let people know where we live. Though, I guess everyone knows my general area because of all of the posts.
