 There have been a few job postings in the past, but not a lot.  Each
time it has caused some of the
 list members some consternation,because their employers forbid them to
be subscribed (from their work
 email) to any mailing list where job postings are made, no matter if
that's not the main purpose of
 the list.  In some cases, it's cause for termination for them.
 
 So, while it's not actually prohibited by anyone, it's also not
actively encouraged.  There is a no-
 cost job posting page on Velocity Software's web site.  Other than
that, I would only say going
 through one of the commercial sites such as dice.com, monster.com,
etc. might be your best bet.  Over
 the last year or so, I have seen a number of mainframe Linux and z/VM
jobs pop up there.
 
 Although there hasn't been too many people that have announced
layoffs, your last option I would say
 would be looking through the archives of this list and IBMVM.  We had
one of our members recently get
 laid off from his job, and he's looking for z/VM and Linux employment
in the Minneapolis/St. Paul
 area.

Re: Posting etiquette

2009-03-16 Thread RPN01
The problem I have with job postings is that receiving them here is a
violation of company policy. Management takes it as doing a job search on
company time.

If there are too many, then I'll have to leave the list, or lose my job and
generate the need to see the listings.

I'd prefer to not see postings containing job listings. I like the list, use
the list, and would like to stay subscribed. I like my job, need my job, and
would like to stay employed.

it won't get much coverage there, and the media here may well not find

In Australia, _I_ cannot mount law case. I'd first have to find there 
was a breach, then I'd have to find container-ship loads of money to 
hire a lawyer. Doubtless any decisions would be appealed to the full

Probably, it's better to go annoy a local polly, the appropriate one for

There have been a few job postings in the past, but not a lot.  Each time it 
has caused some of the list members some consternation,because their employers 
forbid them to be subscribed (from their work email) to any mailing list where 
job postings are made, no matter if that's not the main purpose of the list.  
In some cases, it's cause for termination for them.

So, while it's not actually prohibited by anyone, it's also not actively 
encouraged.  There is a no-cost job posting page on Velocity Software's web 
site.  Other than that, I would only say going through one of the commercial 
sites such as dice.com, monster.com, etc. might be your best bet.  Over the 
last year or so, I have seen a number of mainframe Linux and z/VM jobs pop up 
there.

Although there hasn't been too many people that have announced layoffs, your 
last option I would say would be looking through the archives of this list and 
IBMVM.  We had one of our members recently get laid off from his job, and he's 
looking for z/VM and Linux employment in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

And that coming from a person working at a bank in this economic climate
;-)

Personally, job offering and searching is for a different format, this
should be a technical forum, not a job search tool. Go to Monster.com or
Dice.com for a job search. That's my two cents.

Mark,

I have seen job postings on other lists and personally don't see an
issue with them.  In this economic climate and the potential of each of
us being laid off any avenue for employment is appreciated, IMHO.

Subject: Re: Posting etiquette

Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

I have a question about etiquette of postings into this email list.
I've been monitoring and most of the postings are about asking and
sharing of technical issues encountered during day to day activities and
once in a while about events to benefit everyone.  Even once or twice I
have seen several of the members posting having to move on.  On the last
one; I would like to know what would be or if it would be possible for
posting for employment opportunities.  If this is not the right spot to
find folks with this groups skill sets ... would someone be able to
direct me to where I might be able to post and find folks?

 

PS This is my first post to the email list and hope that I'm not
breaking too many rules.

 

Thanks

I was one of those recent Moving On posters, and apologize if that has 
created concerns on the list. 

 

These sorts of messages have been used for many years by members of the VM 
community to announce retirements, job changes, etc. The subject Moving On 
was not arbitrary, tracing back to MEMO MOVING-ON on the old VMSHARE site (for 
people old enough to remember that collaboration occurred amongst VMers long 
before the Internets).

I might suggest creating a presence on LinkedIn not only for job search but
also for the many other support information resources offered there.

Re: Posting etiquette

2009-03-13 Thread Rich Smrcina

Although I certainly appreciate the concept of LinkedIn and what it has to 
offer (a link
to my public profile is in my sig), some people don't have the bandwidth, 
knowledge or
just don't care for that sort of social networking.  There could be other 
reasons for
not participating.

MEMO postings are a hold over from before Al Gore invented the internet and are 
very
relevant to the audience of the list.

Velocity Software is very graciously hosting the jobs list.  Every so often a 
question
comes up about jobs and several people will respond with the URL, or Tony Noto 
from
Velocity will just the URL as a reminder.

Dan: do the list rules allow for a short summary of a new available position to 
be posted?

Responses to Moving on posts I remember mostly are of the good luck,
it's been nice knowing you kind.

I think Mark was expressing concern about jobs available notices, not
work wanted.

ANZ Bank (anz.com.au) has just announced its sending lots of jobs tO
India. I'm an ANZ customer. I'm wondering what that implies for my
privacy, Indian laws are not Australian laws. I'm sure they're not as
good as Australian laws, and enforcement is problematic. I don't like
the idea of most confidential information about me leaving our shores.

What happens when there's an information leak in India? Does Australian
law apply? I suspect not.

If any employers are thinking sending IT work, these are concerns that
need to be addressed.
