JobTitled is a new beta site focused on helping everyone make better career decisions through the use of analytics.
The free site allows you to search for a job title or degree or browse positions and in turn provides you with analytics surrounding that position. The site is run by career trend statistics that have been built by analyzing millions of resumes and job histories from other workers.
JobTitled then calculates specific trends, such as how people get a position, where they go when they leave and what degrees they have. In many fields the use of historical data plays a key role in making strategic decisions about the future, and that theory can now be applied to making decisions about your career.
Anyone who joins the site also will be asked to describe their own job and education history, which contributes to JobTitled’s career data. The site runs its career analytics algorithms against the JobTitled database to produce an interconnected network of jobs.
Aside from contributing historical information, anyone who joins the site also can edit the description Wiki for any job that needs a contribution and create tags for jobs in order to form natural groupings and show relationships between jobs.
The site also features a JobTitled blog.

I think it’s a great site! … okay, so I’m biased. :)

This looks interesting. While it’s obviously in a pretty early stage, with a lot of the positions lacking descriptions and data, I can see that once more of this data is added, it could be a useful resource.
The statistics do seem a bit overwhelming at times – for example the compare jobs page seems to be a huge list of comparing likelihood of next / previous jobs etc – but I suppose that it is mostly focused on analysing data.
