THE COMPARISON DESK / A LOCAL QUESTION TOOL
Choose which topics could change your decision. Build a question checklist to use privately for one or more real opportunities. Decision-critical topics come first; the remaining topics follow in the fixed order shown. Nothing is scored or ranked.
Select priorities, then build your checklist. This desk contains no job listings or personal records.
No names, employers, addresses, pay figures, schedules, documents or credentials are requested. There are no uploads or free-text fields. Choices stay in current page memory; this tool sends and saves nothing. Your browser may independently restore form state.
Fictional example: an applicant makes availability and travel decision-critical. No real person, store, opening or offer is represented. The checklist puts those two topics first and retains the other four topics for exploration.
Use the same questions for each real opportunity and record answers privately with their sources. Unknown is an acceptable answer. This desk does not recommend a job or determine suitability, eligibility or legal rights.
THE PRACTICAL SIDE
Keep the location, availability and written terms attached to the actual opportunity.
