The Meet Market

There were just 62 labour exchanges when they were first introduced on 1 February, 1910. Then, children left school at 12 and domestic service was the most common occupation. Jobs for a piano regulator and a picture frame gilder were among those advertised in the Shoreditch office in east London on the first day.

On Friday I introduced "The Meet Market" at the Dublin Job, the plan is to create an event which is the reverse of a career fair. Firstly by making it fairer! for the individual. That is they get the chance to showcase their skills and talent. Here for the first time some members of the group have put forward their dream job, I have taken the liberty to include Linkedin profiles if you wish to learn more.
