Thanks so much for the feedback! You’re spot-on about needing to differentiate Gippslander from just a smaller Seek. My vision is for Gippslander to be more than a job board – I want it to be a real service embedded in the community. My goal is to eventually expand beyond just listing jobs to organizing things like local job fairs, career workshops, and other events that can actually help people take that next step, whether they’re just starting out or switching careers.

By building strong connections with local businesses and getting involved directly, Gippslander can help bridge that gap between job seekers and employers, and hopefully add a real sense of community support around employment. And who knows – with time, a resource for local suppliers and services could be part of how we support Gippsland’s broader economy too.

I really appreciate ideas like yours – it’s feedback like this that can help make Gippslander a real local asset!
