Frequently Asked Questions – The Job Spectrum

Click on the Frequently Asked Questions about theJobSpectrum® below.

What is theJobSpectrum® exactly?

At its core, theJobSpectrum® is an Art Project. But it is more about what we like to call ‘the Art of Consciousness’ – of of how we can Exist Together on this plane/t, and trying to use how we value each other to our best, collective advantage. For this Unique Idea being demonstrated here, this is accomplished by the Participants completing a Survey specifically designed to be, once learned, a simple way build an Index of Meaningful Data.
Using this Data in turn will generate revenue for all who wish to participate in whatever capacity they decide… and generate a myriad of opportunities for all of us to compensate each other in a fairer, more inclusive, ethical, moral and civilized manner.

What is the Purpose of theJobSpectrum®, why create this crazy ‘Art Project?’

Right now society is struggling to cope with rapid change – technology, regulations, outsourcing, exploitation, corruption.

theJobSpectrum® is an attempt to find a completely new way for Civilization to not only think differently about itself, but to Compensate each other in a totally new way, that can’t be outsourced, and can include as many of us as possible to work. theJobSpectrum™ utilizes Knowledge and Technology that already exists to do this.

So is theJobSpectrum® a place where you look for Jobs, like Monster or CareerBuilder?

No, it is NOT..! theJobSpectrum® works by Assigning Value via a 3 question, Self Similar Survey that, thru the unique design, helps the Participant Gamify Assigning Value to the different professions we all perform.

theJobSpectrum® is and acts more like a Nielsen Rating Service, for all those different professions, or ‘Guilds’ as we refer to them, that exist at any one time. Instead of ranking Television Programs by how many people watch them, theJobSpectrum™ ranks the different Jobs, or Guilds, by the monthly survey results the Participants generate.

What is a Guild and why are they called that?

In this instance, he closest definition for ‘Guild’ that fits is ‘…an association of people for mutual aid or the pursuit of a common goal or task; an association of people with similar interests or pursuits – especially : a medieval association of merchants or craftsmen; And : a group of organisms that use the same ecological resource in a similar way, for example, ‘a feeding guild’.

This is one of the many ways tJS® ‘ReShuffles’ society and helps all of us ReThink about how we view ourselves, each other and all the Jobs we all perform for Civilization to function. Think about this as well – almost 50% of the jobs that we perform today did not even exist 10 years ago, let alone 5 years ago.

The Zodiac is a bunch of hocus-pocus nonsense. Why use the Zodiac?

In the design of theJobSpectrum®, every aspect of its functionality tries its best to emulate Consciousness at every opportunity, for what we propose is ‘The Art of Consciousness®’. It’s only in the past 75 years or so that the Zodiac has been given the ‘Bum Rap’ in regards to it and anything involved with it being frivolous and meaningless.

We are all ‘Born with Traits’ – and Consciousness reflects this in the different Scientific Studies that present solid evidence of that Fact. The Mechanism of theJobSpectrum® is the first place where, by studying the Data it Manufactures, we can start to see the ‘Patterns in the Matter’ – the results of and the Index it creates

How does theJobSpectrum® make money?

theJobSpectrum® is the world’s first Shared Labor, Shared Revenue Advertising & Marketing Media Channel. It is a Mechanism that gives Advertisers an opportunity to actually share their Media ‘Ad Buy’ with their Target Audiences, in a variety of ways.

Around and between each Survey question will be ad space, from static ads to video clips. After money is removed for taxes, a significant percentage of every Advertising Media Purchase by those who want to advertise will go into a Monthly Purse. That in turn will go to those Participants who fill out the survey.

I hate that idea. Why would I subject myself to watching and looking at advertising online?

Another Great Question. Advertising is everywhere – on billboards when you drive, Ads on the radio, on the television, in the magazines you read, on the Websites you surf . However, you don’t earn a dime from any of that – the owners of the Media you are viewing do.

theJobSpectrum® Participants are also the cooperative ‘Owners’ of the Survey, and the Media that generates it. Being a JobSpectrum® Participant means you are actually getting paid to watch Ads. However, the Companies, Corporations and Organizations who choose to place ads on theJobSpectrum® survey don’t control who gets that money.
Insead, you the Participants control where that money goes by how you Assign Value to the different Guilds via the Survey, on a month-to-month basis.

What? How does THAT work? Does it have to do with whatever Guild I belong to?

Yes. Your Guild will have a different score that will determine its ranking within theJobSpectrum™ results for that particular month. Based upon the monthly ‘Purse’ raised by the Ad Media buys, your Guild will be rewarded its Percentage of that, and distributed among the Guild members.

The best analogy we’ve come up with is that it works like professional Golf. For Example, the 21 Guilds are like individual golfers in a tournament. The ‘playing of the 4×18 holes of Golf’ are akin to the Participants answering the Survey. At the end, the golfers are ranked 1-21, first to last place, with some ties thrown in here and there. The Purse at the end of the tournament is divided among the golfers, with the totals adjusted to fit.

Why should I participate - what is in it for me, and how do I make money?

You make money by how your Guild scores in the Monthly Survey Results. When you sign up to be a Participant, you are asked 3 questions – Your Name, your Birthday, and what Guild to which you would like to align yourself . You can only belong to one Guild at a time.

What else is in it for you as a Participant is, based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback we have received, is that it makes you Think in a variety of new ways. By assigning Value to the different tasks we all perform, we can prioritize, reward, evenly distribute, become more nimble and much less reactionary as a society. This is a procedure or Game that has to be taught – but it is super easy to learn and a total part-time endeavor.

What presents me from just Assigning the Highest Value to my own Guild ?

When you are Participating in theJobSpectrum® Survey, you will Assign Value using the 3 questions of the Self-Similar survey. Right now there are 21 “Starter” Guilds, and you might be able to Assign Value to your own Guild, but it will be thrown out because one of the points of theJobSpectrum® Mechanism is to examine all the other Guilds within it Except your own job description.

This is a way to practice selflessness and to inject some compassion, empathy & Consciousness into Capitalism. Showing Altruism towards your fellow man and educating yourself about the important jobs we all do. And by your Assignment of Value, you can actually push that Value to Guilds that need it.

How and When do I receive a Payment?

The design of theJobSpectrum® imbeds flexibility in dealing with the initial aspects of payment to its Participants. After you take the survey, at the end of that roughly 30 day period and initially after the survey results are released, there will be a 89 day “grace period until the Monetary credits will be available.
Plus, this is the reminder that your next 30 day period to Participate and take the survey once again, on schedule. After this initial 89 days, you will receive a payment roughly every 30 days after that, based upon the Ad Revenue raised, and your Monthly Guild Ranking scores.

Explain why I get paid a varying amount within theJobSpectrum® every month.

Every month your Guild is going to have a different Assigned Value Average. That will affect how much of the Monthly Purse you receive from the distribution you will receive on the Seventh of every month. You only have to fill out theJobSpectum® survey 3 times a year, but you get paid 12 times a year, starting 89 days after you complete your first Survey.

That means when you are eligible to take your second survey on or around the 20-22nd of every month, on the 7th of the month you will receive your first payment. From that month forward, you will receive a payment every month. As long as you are consistent in your Participation, you will receive 100% of what you will be due. If you don’t finish the survey or skip it all together, you will get less of your share received, as dictated by the Fibonacci Sequence and Golden Ratio will be shaved off of what you receive.
