How Reddit works is that users subscribe to sub-reddits. A sub-reddit is an online community that share a topic of discussion. Everything from gaming to slow cookers, pictures of grilled cheeses, and even my little pony. You think of it, it is out there. So take some time and lurk around, then follow the steps below.
Step one. Create an account. You don't need an account but you do get some great features by doing so. Namely save. You can save posts and come back at a later time to read them. This is helpful so you aren't digging through countless pages trying to find that cute cat photo. Also you can argue with some one when they are wrong on the internet.
Step two. Create a second account. You might be thinking that this is a dumb idea, but it isn't here is why. Most Redditors surf Reddit while at work. Now I know that my personal reddit account has questionable links for the workplace. So I created a second account that is only used for work. That way it has much smaller chance of there being something bad. My work account subscribes to things like programming, powershell, technology, computers, etc. Things that I can almost say I use for work. It is either this, or my boss catches me looking at my little pony porn...agian.
Step three. When you submit a link, do us all a great big favor. Please place the link into the search bar on reddit. Yes search sucks, but it can find links very well. If some one else has posted it, it will be there.
So now you are up and running, but where are the jobs. Well there are a few places to look. Start with your city's sub-reddit. Sometimes people are looking for work there. Or just do a quick google search of reddit for jobs. You will find countless sub reddits in different areas looking for work or workers. Now this is where that having two user accounts comes in handy.
If you are in charge of hiring. You get a resume from reddit. Things look fine, but you now have the person's user account, you check their profile. Holy shit, they are a mod on /r/spacedicks. Let's not hire this guy. Vs. your second work friendly account that just has you commenting on some posts. You see how that second account can be helpful.
Other than that, reddit is a giant time suck and you will find countless hours flying by while looking at the same gifs over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Oh and there is gonewild.....you should check that out.
