Dear Jobski Community,

I hope this message finds you well. Today, I want to share an important update regarding Jobski. After careful consideration, the platform has officially wound down as of August 19th, and as of September 1st, Jobski has been completely shut down.

This decision was not an easy one to make, but it was necessary for a few reasons:

• Time Constraints: I’ve been unable to dedicate the time necessary to maintain, grow, and enhance the platform. Building new features and fixing bugs required more attention than I could provide.
• Sustainability Challenges: Despite my best efforts, I struggled to create a sustainable business model. Charging mentees didn’t feel aligned with the platform’s mission, and corporate sponsorships or investor backing didn’t materialize in the way I’d hoped. Unfortunately, the costs of running Jobski became too much to bear out of pocket.

While the platform has come to an end, I’m immensely proud of what we accomplished together. Over the past few years, Jobski connected hundreds of professionals, helping them gain clarity, find support, and build lasting relationships in their careers. Whether you were a mentor or a mentee, your contributions have made a meaningful impact, not just on others but on me as well.

Moving Forward: Resources for mentees

For those of you still looking for career support and mentorship, there are several excellent communities and resources you can tap into:

• UsInTechnology: A resource hub for those looking to break into or advance within the technology industry. Check out their app in the app store!
• Rework Training: Focused on bridging the skills gap and creating opportunities for career growth; They are a non-profit that also provide free tech sales training via their bootcamp.
• Women in Sales: A fantastic community offering mentorship, resources, and networking for women looking to excel in sales.
• Sales for the Culture: A community specifically designed for Black sales professionals, providing mentorship, training, and resources to succeed in the industry via their slack community.

These platforms are committed to helping individuals navigate their career paths, offering mentorship opportunities, training, and support just as Jobski did.

Staying Connected

Though Jobski has reached its final chapter, I hope this won’t be the end of our connection. If you’d like to stay in touch, feel free to reach out to me directly through my social channels:

Thank you once again for being a part of this journey with Jobski. Whether you were a mentor or mentee, I deeply appreciate the time, energy, and heart you put into this community. While the platform may be gone, the spirit of mentorship and mutual support lives on.

Best regards,
Robert Crayton III
