The marketplace where curiosity meets craft.
TryMyJob connects curious people with skilled professionals who open their doors for a day. Whether you've always wondered what it's like to work a fishing boat, pull espresso shots at a famous cafe, or shape metal in a blacksmith's forge — we make it happen.
For Explorers: Browse hundreds of unique work experiences, pick a date, and book. Show up ready to learn, get your hands dirty, and discover what a day in someone else's shoes really feels like.
For Hosts: Share your passion and earn extra income by welcoming explorers into your world. Set your own schedule, pricing, and what the experience includes.
Most people spend their whole lives curious about other jobs but never get the chance to try them. Career fairs and job shadowing barely scratch the surface. We believe the best way to understand a craft is to do it — even if just for a day.
TryMyJob was born in the Bay Area, where makers, builders, and entrepreneurs of every stripe are eager to share their work. We're expanding to more cities soon.
