Re: [WSG] Jobs and the list - where else?
Graeme Great minds obviously think alike! I sent this email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] a week ago and have recvd no. I guess it got lost in his inbox, so ill post it here instead where all the moderators and members can read it: Russ Id like to put an idea to you as one of the WSG head honchos ... what do you think of this train of thought... 1. Developers who are a member of the WSG are more likely to use web standards in their work than developers who are not 2. Therefore they are more likely to employ / contract out work to fellow WSG members, because WSG members are more likely than not to have skills they require 3. Currently there is nothing stopping people from privately asking other WSG members if they know of job/contract opportunities by email, at the bi-monthly meetings or networking like on Thursday night, but it would be easier if WSG members who wanted to be contacted by: - prospective WSG member employees/contractors, - other WSG member companies to whom they can partner with Could add themselves to some kind of listing/directory available for viewing once logged into the WSG site. This could be beneficial for all members if done well. -- Neerav Bhatt http://www.bhatt.id.au Web Development IT consultancy Mobile: +61 (0)403 8000 27 http://www.bookcrossing.com/mybookshelf/neerav Graeme Merrall wrote: Hi all.

RE: [WSG] Jobs and the list - where else?
Hi, Russ is in New Zealand at the moment and the end of the financial year was not good for either of us. For the moment I don't have time to build a new section for job ads, but it's in the list of things to do. I don't believe it's a good solution though as it will still require people to actively go there to look for new positions. It's not the role of WSG to be a listing agency so I only want the occasional one on the list and this has strict guidelines on formatting and wording. If you really need to post one, please write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] first and we'll give you the format and permission to post it. As for other places, if it's in Australia then try listing on www.webdesigners.net.au and I'm sure there are others as well.

Re: [WSG] Jobs and the list - where else?
Peter Thats perfectly understandable, as list parents the choice is upto you. Wasnt aware of www.webdesigners.net.au, thanks for mentioning it. -- Neerav Bhatt http://www.bhatt.id.au Web Development IT consultancy Mobile: +61 (0)403 8000 27 http://www.bookcrossing.com/mybookshelf/neerav Peter Firminger wrote: Hi, Russ is in New Zealand at the moment and the end of the financial year was not good for either of us.
