When I first discovered the site, the only sections that
I know of are the ones I use to help users with their jobs & education
questions via Q&A sites like Yahoo! Answers, Askville, Answerbag, and
Ask.com to name some. It was only recently when I’ve found out that there is
more that the site can offer for individuals and employers.
