I'm new the forum, so bear with me if I don't follow protocol. But here's my idea!
I was reading around on this forum and some others, reading other peoples ideas and journeys and I was inspired. A problem that I have, and that many of my college aged peers have, is finding the right career. Most of them just kind of haphazardly choose what career they want, not really taking into account their best strengths, skills, and passions.
So what if I created an employment website, like monster.com/careerbuilder.com that implemented peoples skills,passions,personality types into their job search.
The idea is that, it becomes a win-win for the companies, and for the job searchers. The companies get highly targeted, highly qualified employees, and the job searchers get careers that they love and build on their strengths and passions.
In order to drive traffic to site, I'm thinking of paying for PPC ads through Google.
I just did a quick check and monster chargers over $300 to post one job for 30 days. My pricing would probably be lower than that to start, but would increase over time. BUT, to begin, I would offer companies with postings on other sites, the chance to put there posting on my site for free for 60 days or something.
It's a small tweak to an existing service, but I feel that it's so profound. What do you guys think!? Is this a viable business idea? Am I crazy to think it would work? Is incorporating the personality test with the employment website not a unique enough idea to separate myself from the existing sites?
I would definitely appreciate your thoughts and feedback. Again, I'm a new member to the forum, but I've read over so many different threads, I really respect everyone's opinions.
Looking forward to your thoughts.

- The job searcher creates a profile with my website, and part of the registration process includes completing a personality test like the myers briggs test/DiSC test/Strength Finders/maybe my own personality test.
- After the personality test is completed, they are shown ACTUAL POSITIONS CURRENTLY OPEN that fit their personalities.
