Jobs/benefits room suggestion

[Jam]

Hey
Just a little suggestion for some point in the future...

Finding the motivation/confidence to find work, and for people in work finding a way to cope with their anxieties while in their job seems to be an issue for people with SA.
I just thought maybe a job/benefits room might be a good idea?

It seems like there are a lot of threads about help finding jobs, confidence/motivation to look for work, anxiety and struggles in the work place, inquiries about benefits, etc... And even the same issues, but concerning people with anxiety in shcool/college/uni, so maybe even a job/education/benefits room?

Like a room we can share job hunting tips, ask questions/advice about job hunting, share our knowledge about looking for work, support for people who are both trying to find work/education and those who are silently suffering in work/college/uni, how to cope with the stress/pressures of work/education, vent about work/education, or anyone who needs advice about benefits, such as EMA.

.... And also, maybe we can even let others know where there are available jobs they know of, weather it is in their work place or not, or like advice for people who want to start their own small business or wants to go self employed.


Sorry this is long. Like I said, just a suggestion, lol

This is the best website ever for any benefits related issues:

Maybe it would create too much work for the site owners? Who funds this site anyway???

I think if I'm not mistaken the site is run by volunteers and everything is paid for by donations from members. I remember donating a small amount a few years ago.

PS. Yes it's a great idea, since work and benefits are such a huge topic in themselves. A dedicated room might be useful.

I don't know if it's a big enough topic to warrant a subform of its own, but it is something to think about, especially as there seems to be some interest in it.
