.job file

We should create a universal .job file.  The file type would actually just be comma separated values in a spreadsheet, but we should agree to a universal order that the questions are asked.  

For example
  1. First Name
  2. Middle Name
  3. Last name
  4. Highest level of school achieved (None, High school, under grad, etc)
  5. Current address 1
  6. Current address 2
  7. Current address City
  8. Current address State
  9. Current address Zip
  10. Current address Country
  11. Age 
  12. Ability to work in USA
  13. Will you require sponsorship to work in the USA?
  14. Are you currently employed
  15. Most recent employer
  16. Most recent job title
  17. Most recent job start date
  18. Most recent end date, if not, select currently employed.
  19.  etc
We could find through current applications available online which data is often listed at the top of the priority.  There would have to be some committee for the questions at the way bottom.  

The main purpose of the .job file is to be able to input your data with one click.  You can fill out as much as possible.  

Employers wouldn't  be forced to use all the data.  They might only care about 1-10.

Job sites like monster could make it easier to match you up with open jobs.  

It would make "sex, age, race blind" employment easier because software is getting better at determining which applicants would fit their position best according to past employee application data.

States should create a lottery, where homeowners can pay $1 more on their state taxes to be put into a pool of money.  The winner gets a home renovation that upgrades to code (including amnesty for any work done without a permit) and energy efficiency.  New windows, energy efficient furnace, etc. The program would strengthen the state's housing stock, make living spaces safer, and reduce wasted energy.
A smartphone that's able to be docked at a workstation (two monitors, full keyboard, mouse, and office style phone with headset).  It will keep all of your work information on one physical space- backed up online- but a more convenient size than a surface/chromebook. Hotdesking is going to become more popular in the future, even though employers should not use it as an excuse to reduce the employees home station.
Workplaces need a calendar function for work functions that allows employees to choose available, tentative, or unavailable so they're able to let the company know if they're able to accomplish those specific offsite duties.  If the employees keep their availability up to date, it would make scheduling multi-worker events easier.
