Dick,
I would suggest looking into creating a more robust table (or tables) instead of
storing
multiple values in a single table. In your case, you might be able to add fields that
indicate whether it is a contract or permanent position, salary, whether travel is
required and if so how much, and so forth.
But no matter what the underlying data is you want to separate it into as many fields
as necessary. Storing different kinds of data in a single field defeats the purpose
of storing data in a database in the first place. This will also help with
presentation,
because you can display values however you like without having to store markup in the
database.
Get on Google and do a search for "normalizing" or "normalization." That's really what
we're talking about here.
Good luck!
