Mr. Dill: Your comment begs the question, why not hire from this type of posting? I agree that a process needs to be followed, but does that process preclude culling potential position candidates from this list (or any such list)? I hope not. Whether or not one thinks a resume is appropriate within this type of forum (it's obviously debatable), I would hope that in this day and age, a person would utilize every reasonable outlet available, if need be, in order to find a position. After all, all it takes is one person to see a resume on a listserv and call that potential candidate for an interview.

I consider them spam and ignore them. We are required to follow a process to hire, and I can't imagine very many potential employers would hire from such a posting. Certainly those of us in the public - government sector in the USA have to advertise widely, etc., to satisfy legalities. I'd suggest you post a notice at MERC, which is at: http://199.190.151.3:80/~merc/default.shl Good Luck Chris Dill - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - C. L.
