Limitations

In the last two posts I raved about mindopia.com; since then though I have discovered a few weaknesses and flaws that you should be aware of. Especially since there are no reviews of the site other than

The biggest problem with Mindopia is that there is a limited selection of generic careers to choose from. If you want to go into real estate or you want to be the Lawyer the site has something to offer. If you want to go into a relatively new field or are pursuing a very specific career the site might not have you covered. For example, there is no mention of green jobs on Mindopia.com which is unfortunate because the green job market is fastest job market in this country right now.

I am interested in Micro-finance(small scale lending in poorer countrys to individuals who want to start there own companys, I like to think of it as humanitarian investing- you are giving some one a chance to be self sufficient and your risk is no more than a thousand dollars at a time) which is also a quickly growing field and mindopia had nothing to offer in that field.

I have also come across some functionality problems on a couple of the pages.

In an attempt to find out more about mindopia I tried to send them an email via the contact us page. I typed out a paragraph of questions only to find that the email field box was not working and I couldn't not enter my address. I thought it was a problem with by browser or my computer but sure enough its a flaw on the page. They also didn't list any other contact information on the page so many of my questions are still unanswered.

I also struggled with the personal profile page. Like the email field on the contact us page, a few of the fields on the edit your profile page don't work when you try and click on them. I also had trouble finding a profile picture to upload that adheres to dimensions "104x25."
