As a specialist recruiter in this field, I understand and can appreciate your point of view regarding the use of Job Boards as a source of information pertaining to the market, but beg to differ regarding your thoughts on the use of this list.
It is my understanding that this listserv is here to serve as a voice for the professionals in the information security field. This is an issue for all those looking for a job including security professionals and therefore relevant to those subscribing to this list. >SecurityJobs is a mailing list and Forum on SecurityFocus developed to help IT Security Professionals find work in their field. (Security Focus: Mailing Lists: Security Jobs: Info) It would appear that the list is, therefore, an open forum for security professionals looking for work in the field and I don't think they're limited to the type advice they're aloud to ask of their peers.

Perhaps Aaron should address these types of questions to the career job boards (monster, careerbuilder, etc.) where they can go to the career/resume advice section and ask the experts how to address these issues. These issues really have nothing to do with security. They do have to do with integrity, ethics, truth, and career coaching. Please realize that employers read these postings as well as security hiring management (as you can see from the reply signatures). I believe you do more harm than good when you air dirty laundry in the wrong forum.
