Show HN: Get the inside scoop on jobs (video app)

12 pointsby markkabout 10 years ago
http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hello.lanternapp.co<p>I care a lot about people finding fulfilling work.<p>71% of people are disengaged at work. So much more good could be done in the world if the right people are in jobs they are excited about it. It&#x27;s possibly the most leveraged problem out there.<p>Obviously, there are many reasons why people are disengaged. I am particularly interested in the difficulties that exist with 1) knowing what jobs are out there, 2) being to understand what they are ACTUALLY like.<p>If you think about it, it&#x27;s very hard to answer these questions. Everyone here probably remembers going to useless careers&#x27; fairs and suchlike.<p>The best way to learn about jobs is to talk to the people that do them. This is hard today - first of, we don&#x27;t even know the breadth of jobs that exist, and secondly we most likely don&#x27;t know anyone in each role. Lantern (my app) aims to fix both of these.<p>It&#x27;s a video app for authentic discussions about work.<p>http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hello.lanternapp.co<p>I&#x27;d love any thoughts and feedback. For those you who are hiring, this is a great way to get an authentic voice out about your company. You can direct potential candidates to lanternapp.co&#x2F;search?q=YOUR_COMPANY to hear directly from your current employees.
