RE: Job Postings was Re: [PLUG] Another Job Opening [Network Admin - Plymouth Meeting]


I feel that PLUG members helping each other find jobs is great, on topic,
and a nice bonus which though not why I joined the list I'd like to see
stay. Just guessing, I would risk that the great majority of the list does
(or did or wants to) work in technology, some as 'NIX admins, some not - but
the list surely isn't all Linux hobbyists with no livelihood from IT or
MIS - my point being that employment posts can be on topic.

I would consider pure recruiter posts or basically stuff not coming from
members with at least some level of activity, as SPAM.

We could decide on a standard subject line so that people could easily
filter this stuff out, ie, "OT: Employment Post: " or some such thing...

I realize this is a touchy issue, and also that many people, myself
included, are looking for work. What I did a few times to avoid posting
openings I'd found that I thought others would be interested in seeing, was
to email directly off list to the few people I found who were/are also job
hunting. So can we make an alias to a group where people can toggle in and
out of employment posts, then as long as everyone posts to the alias the
whole thing would be transparent and everyone would be happy. (Still no
money for PLUG though.)
