Show HN: Get the inside scoop on jobs (video app)
I care a lot about people finding fulfilling work.
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's possibly the most leveraged problem out there.
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.
If you think about it, it's very hard to answer these questions. Everyone here probably remembers going to useless careers' fairs and suchlike.
The best way to learn about jobs is to talk to the people that do them. This is hard today - first of, we don't even know the breadth of jobs that exist, and secondly we most likely don't know anyone in each role. Lantern (my app) aims to fix both of these.
It's a video app for authentic discussions about work.
