Looking for Jobs Shouldn’t Feel Like a Full-Time Job
If you’ve ever spent late nights toggling between job boards, tweaking your resume for the hundredth time, or refreshing your inbox in the hope of a reply, you know how exhausting and isolating the job search can be. At GigHQ (formerly NextGig), we set out to change that—making your hunt for the right role more honest, less chaotic, and, above all else, human.
Today, we’re thrilled to open the doors of our free Discord community for job seekers of every stripe: recent grads, career switchers, seasoned professionals, and anyone in between.
Why We Built This Community
Over the last year, all of GigHQ users have told us the same story:
I love the data insights, I love the tracking, but I still feel alone in my search.”
The Handshake report from 2025 echoes this sentiment among young people just entering the workforce.
You’ve got the right tools to track applications and measure ghost-rates, but what about the emotional ups and downs? The frustration of a rejection, the uncertainty of a long silence, or the small thrill of a quick reply? There’s no spreadsheet cell for that.
Our Discord server is designed to fill this gap. It’s a place where you can…
- Get asynchronous feedback on your resume. Post a draft and let community members—fellow job hunters, coaches, and even GigHQ team members—give you practical, real-world advice.
- Share interview tips and war stories. Whether you nailed that “unexpected” technical question or found yourself tongue-tied, your experiences help others prepare and feel less alone.
- Celebrate wins, big and small. Got a callback? Submitted your 10th application? Landed a phone screen? Let’s cheer each other on.
- Vent or lurk as you need. Sometimes you just need to rant—or to read someone else’s rant. Both are welcome here.
What to Expect Inside
- Dedicated Channels. Organization by topic: #resume-roasts, #interview-tips, #daily-wins (for in-depth discussions).
- Resource Library. A pinned library of templates, checklists, and links to articles, webinars, and tools—curated by the community.
- Zero Spam Policy. No unsolicited recruiting pitches. No endless promotion of courses or tools. Only genuine support.
How to Join
- Click this link: https://discord.gg/XWknWBhamJ
- Introduce yourself in #welcome (your background, target roles, and one thing you want to learn).
- Browse the channels, jump into any conversation, or start a new thread.
If you already use GigHQ to track your applications, consider this your backstage pass to the people behind the data. And if you don’t, there’s never been a better time to give us a try—your first few days in the community will make it clear why so many job seekers are switching on both our platform and our server.
A Final Word
Finding a new job is about more than clicking “Apply.” It’s about strategy and systems, yes—but also about empathy, camaraderie, and shared experience. We built GigHQ to give you the strategy; now we’re opening our Discord to give you the community.
Come join us. You don’t have to face rejection, ghosting, or information overload alone. Let’s make this process a little more human—together.
