Careers & Jobs

Find work, post jobs, CV review

Careers Hub is work in agriculture from both sides: finding a job, posting one, and having a CV reviewed before it is sent.

Agricultural employment is an unusually informal market. Most jobs are never advertised, most applications are never acknowledged, and both sides usually find each other through somebody who knows somebody — which works badly for anyone outside that circle, which is most young people.

It carries real listings with the things that actually decide whether an application is worth making — location, discipline, employment type — and a CV review for people who have never had one read by anybody before an employer.

There is one warning it makes plainly, and it is the most important sentence on the screen: Laisha does not verify employers or applicants. Meet, and check, before money or travel changes hands. Agricultural job fraud — advance fees, phantom postings, travel to a job that does not exist — is real and targets exactly the people this is for.

Not verifying is stated rather than quietly implied, because the alternative is a platform whose silence reads as endorsement.

How to use Careers & Jobs

What it is. Agriculture jobs, and the things you need to apply for them: a searchable listing by role, company and discipline, a CV builder, a cover letter generator, interview preparation, skill certification, and anonymous company ratings.

When to open it. While you are looking, and before you are — the company ratings are most useful before you have an offer to be excited about.

Have ready.

Step by step.

  1. Search by role, company or discipline, and set the country.
  2. Open the listings that fit. Opened jobs are kept so you can come back to them.
  3. Check the company's anonymous ratings before applying, not after.
  4. Build the CV, and generate a cover letter for the specific listing rather than a general one.
  5. Use interview preparation before the interview, not the night before.
  6. Get skill certified where the listing asks for evidence you can show.

What it will not do. It lists jobs and helps you apply. It does not place you, does not vet every employer, and cannot verify a claim made in a listing. Verified listings are marked; the rest deserve the same caution as any advertisement.

Every setting in Careers & Jobs, explained

Search role, company, discipline
What to look for. How to choose: Search by discipline as well as by title. Job titles in agriculture are inconsistent between companies and searching only by title hides roles you would want. If it is wrong: You see a narrower market than exists.
Country
Where you are willing to work. How to choose: Honestly, including the places you would actually move to. If it is wrong: Nothing, beyond missing listings.
Full-time / Part-time
The kind of engagement. How to choose: As it suits you. If it is wrong: Nothing.

A worked example

Looking for an agronomy role in a new country.

What goes in:

What comes out:

The cover letter should be generated per listing. A general one reads as general to everybody who receives it, and the specificity is the only part of a cover letter anybody actually notices.

Questions people ask about Careers & Jobs

How do I find agriculture jobs abroad?

Search by discipline rather than job title, because titles vary enormously between companies and countries, and set the country to include places you would genuinely move to. Then check the company's ratings before you apply rather than after you have an offer you want to accept.

Should I write a different cover letter for each job?

Yes, and it is the only part of a cover letter that has any effect. A general letter reads as general to every person who receives it. Generate it against the specific listing so it refers to that role and that company.

Are the job listings verified?

Some are, and those are marked as verified. The rest are listings and deserve the ordinary caution you would apply to any advertisement — and no legitimate employer anywhere asks a candidate for a fee to be considered.
