If your friend's skills are more relevant to a specific role then they will see a job and you won't - this could be anything from number of years experience to qualifications or industry or it could be that their profile is complete and yours isn't.  Make sure your profile is kept up to date to receive the best matches

A job posting remains anonymous until both sides have accepted the connection. Once that happens you will see the profile of the job posting owner and can start messaging on abodoo. The Interview steps also include the option for feedback so you are kept up to date throughout

Absolutely. In fact, we are striving for an equal playing field for people of all abilities to be able to work.

However, we will also be actively encouraging hub community meetups to ensure people can occasionally work from a local hub and benefit from the social engagement.

Once you see a job match you can click on it and be taken to the job posting page. From here you can click apply to be considered for process.

This is a great opportunity to reiterate your passion for a role by asking questions that demonstrate you have researched, thought about the finer details and are very motivated to secure the role. Example of good questions we have heard at Abodoo include 1. What do you feel is important in being successful in this role? (whatever the answer it gives you the opportunity to ensure you provided enough information to clarify that) 2. What plans do you have in the coming year? (if what you hear excites you say it, don't play too cool) 3. How do you like to manage smartly? 4. What is a typical day for someone in this role?  5. When I was researching I was very interested to know more about ....?  6. What other information can I provide to you to demonstrate I am the right person for the role?
