The book for the journeyman
— with plenty of experience and a bit of sawdust in the pockets
The week, the hours and the rest of the trade.
The week, the hours and the rest of the industry
Your own week with the route to today's job, the timesheet with «Same as last time», step-by-step technique guides, open jobs, buying and selling gear and a profile with your certificates.
The day, as it looks
Know the feeling of being good at your trade and still spending an hour a week on paperwork? Hours have to be written, mileage remembered, and a detail looked up by ringing someone you hope will pick up. The trade isn't the hard part. It's everything around it.
You log in and see your own day: what's in the calendar, what you still have to enter, and what the crew is doing.
What you can do here
Log hours against the right job, with mileage and expenses. Read the technique step by step before you start. Look for work going in your trade, or sell the machine taking up space in the garage.
And gather what you know in one place: the profile shows your trades, companies, classes, certificates and the quizzes you've passed. The badges arrive on their own when you hit 80 percent — and you decide what you pass on.
Your own week
Know the feeling of getting the day's message in a text at half past five? The address is in one place, the task in another, and you only learn what the others are doing when you meet.
Work greets you with a hello, today's date and a status line. The overview is six tiles: today, this week, active jobs, tasks, messages and activity — each with its own number.
The week appears as seven day rows with today marked, and if the job has a real address there's a button that opens the route on the map.
The week's timesheet
Know the feeling that the timesheet is the most annoying quarter of an hour in the week? You remember what you did, but not when you drove, and certainly not how many kilometres it came to. So you write something close enough, and leave the mileage.
Here date, job, hours, hour type, start, end and billable are gathered in one form — and “Same as last time” fills it in when today looks like yesterday.
The month appears as a calendar with hours, kilometres driven and absence days, or as a list grouped by week with totals.
How it's done
Know the feeling of having to do something you've only seen once? You do it the way you think, and only find out it was wrong when it has to be redone. There's nobody to ask at seven in the morning.
Techniques gathers the step-by-step guides from the whole house on one page, and if you've been inside your trade, its own guides sit on top.
The page is open to everyone — you can look things up before you even sign up.
Available work
Know the feeling of hearing about the good job two weeks too late? The listings are spread across several job sites, half are for another trade, and the rest are at the wrong end of the country.
Jobs gathers them in one place: search by title, company or location, and narrow the list by trade, region, type and source. The key figures say how many there are, and how many came from the job sites.
You can post a job yourself too — and see who's looking for work.
Buy and sell gear
Know the feeling of a machine standing in the garage you haven't used in two years? Too good to throw out and too dull for a classifieds site, where nobody knows what it's worth.
The marketplace is for people in the trades. Filter by category, trade and region, sort by price, and save the listings you want to come back to.
Items given away have their own count at the top — and you can message the seller directly instead of posting a phone number.
What you can do
Know the feeling that your CV is a page in a text document from your last job? The courses are in one folder, the certificates in another, and when someone asks what you've done, you say “a bit of everything”.
The profile gathers it: trade, region, bio and counters for posts, friends and qualifications — and below them your companies, classes, certificates and quiz results.
Badges arrive automatically when you pass a quiz with 80 percent or more, and they can carry over to a CV whose visibility you control yourself.
