Just to clarify my position: I am in the same boat as Louis. I certainly don't have an issue with someone occasionally posting a job or informing the forum of his/her job loss, and I especially welcome news of someone's new position. Someday I may need to do the same. In fact, in Steve's case I requested his resume and provided it to three of my own client companies (offline) to see if anyone could use his skills. Two of those companies inquired whether I would contact Steve to see if he was interested in relocating to the Upper Midwest area, but Steve was offered and had accepted a job before I was even able to do this. I did this not only for Steve, but several others as well. Two of them landed jobs directly as a result of my efforts. Where it becomes an issue with me is when several people begin responding-to-all on the Forum with requests for information about the job, or they advertise services as a consultant, etc., which should all be kept private and be done offline. I don't create the Forum rules for use, but I try to respect them because I have seen many others object to having to wade through a lot of non-technical postings to find information they are looking for. As I said in my last posting on the subject, I believe that is why IPC created the Job Posting section outside of the forum. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Louis Hart Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2012 9:49 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] DFM etc Adding a little bit to Karen's posting, from time to time, someone has announced a job loss on TechNet. I remember Steve Gregory a year or two ago, a training lady in Michigan, a couple of dedicated gentlemen technetters a while back...I would not object if he/she, after maybe 2 months, toggled TechNet again if the situation had not changed. I tell people I talk with to let me know in a month their status, since, if I don't hear anything, I will assume they are back at work.
