Applicants will fill out a form, and the system will e-mail its contents (and any attached resume) to the employer. There are a few reasons for doing things this way rather than simply posting the employer's contact info and letting people contact them on their own. These include: -- Protection for employers from being bombarded with spam every time they post an ad; -- Protection for our job listings from being "mined" by an agency or online job web site; -- Preserving the possibility of eventually turing jobs.postgresql.org into a revenue stream to support postgresql. > -Publicly accessible jobs search screen > You mention a job type there.

If this site gets as much use as we want it to, we need some kind of categorization to let searchers filter. Pretty much every other job listing service in the world has job categories; I don't see bucking the trend on this one. Certainly we want to stick to a small number of easy-to-understand categories. For example, I was thinking of: Database Administrator (DBA), Software Development, Performance Tuning, PostgreSQL Support, General System Administrator, Training, and Other. > From company to company, local to local, country to country views on a set > of job duties may vary and type may just be a point of confusion. Or may not. Look, from my perspective, I don't want to even see jobs in the "General System Administrator" category; they don't apply to me. Other applicants may *only* be qualified for training. They should be allowed to filter by this, just like applicants will filter by Full-Time, Part-Time, or Consultant to match their availability. > You mention in there "Resume Upload".

We will not be storing applicant profiles on the system. This would entail about 30 hours of additional work, half of which for security, and we're not going to do it. Also, in the current economy, applicant profile storage would bloat the database and become and administrative headache. > ps.

Understand it better now. Wouldn't it be better to have the resumes on the service and to just have prospective employees be able to have multiple resumes? This way when there is an application they can tell the system which resume to point to for that particular application. Besides convenience for the prospective employee there is an extra advantage. Reduced potential liability. If you EVER send attachments to prospective employers what will happen if someone fakes an email as coming from you and sends a trojan or a virus? Sure you will be able to prove that it didn't come from you, but that is one employer that may shy away from user the service. If you NEVER send attachements then you can even wwarn people that any email coming their way with an attachemtn from your service that the attachment should NOT be looked at. > I disagree very strongly.

My experience is with Hotjobs, Monster and a few others. They have categories like IT, programmer, etc.. but these are very general categories and most of the time I have never used them to look for a job. I usually use the 'keywoard' search functionality. > Certainly we want to stick to a small number of easy-to-understand categories. > For example, I was thinking of: > Database Administrator (DBA), Software Development, Performance Tuning, > PostgreSQL Support, General System Administrator, Training, and Other.

Just as you said above about doing something primarily because every one else does it, storing the resume would go under the same category. Plain text should not text so much space to store and could possibly even be compressed.

My feeling is that for some time there will be few jobs posted and people may probably just take a look at all jobs posted. I really hope/wish/dream of when it will be busier than that., I don't think it will be any time soon, if ever.

Which brings up another point. I think most companies will NOT pay for relocation. I think there should be a field "pay for relocation" which should default to no. This for the rare case for companies willing to pay some/all of the relocation expense.

I believe DOC files can have viruses in them. As long as we allow attachments this will be an issue.

Although I think it's great you are thinking ahead I don't think we will be flooded with postings that categories will be a problem.

We can then decide what's next after we have something in place. I think you and your team are doing probably the most difficult part. Getting the project off the ground.

Applicants will fill out a form, and the system will e-mail its contents (and any attached resume) to the employer. There are a few reasons for doing things this way rather than simply posting the employer's contact info and letting people contact them on their own. These include: -- Protection for employers from being bombarded with spam every time they post an ad; -- Protection for our job listings from being "mined" by an agency or online job web site; -- Preserving the possibility of eventually turing jobs.postgresql.org into a revenue stream to support postgresql. > -Publicly accessible jobs search screen > You mention a job type there.

If this site gets as much use as we want it to, we need some kind of categorization to let searchers filter. Pretty much every other job listing service in the world has job categories; I don't see bucking the trend on this one. Certainly we want to stick to a small number of easy-to-understand categories. For example, I was thinking of: Database Administrator (DBA), Software Development, Performance Tuning, PostgreSQL Support, General System Administrator, Training, and Other. > From company to company, local to local, country to country views on a set > of job duties may vary and type may just be a point of confusion. Or may not. Look, from my perspective, I don't want to even see jobs in the "General System Administrator" category; they don't apply to me. Other applicants may *only* be qualified for training. They should be allowed to filter by this, just like applicants will filter by Full-Time, Part-Time, or Consultant to match their availability. > You mention in there "Resume Upload".

We will not be storing applicant profiles on the system. This would entail about 30 hours of additional work, half of which for security, and we're not going to do it. Also, in the current economy, applicant profile storage would bloat the database and become and administrative headache. > ps.

Understand it better now. Wouldn't it be better to have the resumes on the service and to just have prospective employees be able to have multiple resumes? This way when there is an application they can tell the system which resume to point to for that particular application. Besides convenience for the prospective employee there is an extra advantage. Reduced potential liability. If you EVER send attachments to prospective employers what will happen if someone fakes an email as coming from you and sends a trojan or a virus? Sure you will be able to prove that it didn't come from you, but that is one employer that may shy away from user the service. If you NEVER send attachements then you can even wwarn people that any email coming their way with an attachemtn from your service that the attachment should NOT be looked at. > I disagree very strongly.

My experience is with Hotjobs, Monster and a few others. They have categories like IT, programmer, etc.. but these are very general categories and most of the time I have never used them to look for a job. I usually use the 'keywoard' search functionality. > Certainly we want to stick to a small number of easy-to-understand categories. > For example, I was thinking of: > Database Administrator (DBA), Software Development, Performance Tuning, > PostgreSQL Support, General System Administrator, Training, and Other.

Just as you said above about doing something primarily because every one else does it, storing the resume would go under the same category. Plain text should not text so much space to store and could possibly even be compressed.

My feeling is that for some time there will be few jobs posted and people may probably just take a look at all jobs posted. I really hope/wish/dream of when it will be busier than that., I don't think it will be any time soon, if ever.

Which brings up another point. I think most companies will NOT pay for relocation. I think there should be a field "pay for relocation" which should default to no. This for the rare case for companies willing to pay some/all of the relocation expense.

I believe DOC files can have viruses in them. As long as we allow attachments this will be an issue.

Although I think it's great you are thinking ahead I don't think we will be flooded with postings that categories will be a problem. Of all the problems this project could possibly have I really wish someday too many postings will be one. I just don't think it will happen any time soon.

We can then decide what's next after we have something in place. I think you and your team are doing probably the most difficult part. Getting the project off the ground. I don't think we should do anything to slow you down or distract you othen that just give feedback when you request it.
