Job Section Updated

Jobs SectionRecently I’ve been making a lot of updates on and around the site and I’ve been so busy with it that I’m just now able to formally announce them.

Whether you are in the US, UK, Africa or Australia (& everywhere in between) there are job postings for you to keep up with. The idea was to keep it as simple as possible.
