What is CareerQuestions?
CareerQuestions lets you explore careers while connecting you to others. Use it as an informational tool, as an interactive
experience, or both.
CareerQuestions is an informational resource providing insight into every profession of the workforce. Our detailed job
descriptions outline careers so you gain a better understanding of what people do for a living. Read about jobs you may
not have known existed, explore educational paths, determine career prospects, examine industry trends, and much more.
More than just a knowledge base, CareerQuestions also connects you to others so you get information from those in the
know-how of a particular industry. Browse the profiles of industry specialists and see what they have to say about their jobs,
or create a profile for yourself. Our open forum discussions provide a platform so you can ask any questions about the
fields you are interested in, or simply network with your colleagues.

all institutions/organisations to submit a list of Career & Job Types in their
Industry to ensure we provide a comprehensive and up to date list on CareerQuestions.com.
3. Provide Information on the Career/Job Types for your Industry

4. Your Members can Submit Personal job Profiles
A Personal job profile is an individuals account of working in one of the aforementioned
Career / Job Types. Personal Job Profiles cannot be created under your organisations
account. If you have people in your organisation who are willing to submit personal
job profiles they can create a member account at http://www.careerquestions.com/register/register.aspx.
Once an individual has created an account and logged in, they can follow a step
by step guide leading them through submitting personal, educational details, and
finally submitting a personal job profile. They can link their personal job profile
to your organisations profile on step 8 of the job profile form.
People who post personal job profiles can choose whether or not to allow users to
ask questions in relation to their personal profile. Also no personal contact details
(name, email) will be displayed if the user chooses not to display them.
5. You can moderate changes to information related to your Industry
Information in Career Profiles will be editable by users of the site
once the site goes live. All changes must be made by registered members and will
be moderated before going live on the site to confirm validity. Your organisation
can choose to be a moderator of changes.
Being a Moderator consists of assessing if content changes made to Career Profiles
are valid and an improvement on what's already there.
When you are a Moderator, a list of pending content changes will be available to
you from the home page of your CareerQuestions Members Area. An easy one-click system
allows you to approve or disapprove of changes.

Educate People On Your Industry:
Many people do not know what it is like to work in a particular job or industry,
and the only way to find out is to find someone in the field, which isn't always
as easy as it might seem. With your help, our users will be able to browse your
members personal job profiles and read about what it is like to work in the industry.
Through our open discussion forums they will be able to ask questions and read other
questions and answers regarding their particular industry of interest.
By allowing users to read about what your members do via personal job profiles and
what your Industry is all about via career overviews you are enabling students and
job seekers the opportunity to really see what it is like to work in your field.
This will help users to make informed decisions on their career path and attract
the right kind of people to your Industry.
