Adrienne, if you post vague jobs you get vague people responding to them. Are these people expected to be merely hands or are they expected to be creative, innovative, responsive, and committed to the organization? Will they eventually stay or are they intended to be temporary? Seems these questions need to be answered before the decision of when and how to post gets made. It's less of an etiquette issue than a practical one. My $0.02 is to be specific in the ads about what the expectations are for the people you need and you can get away with posting 6 months in advance. Julia Moore Indianapolis Art Center
