5 What is misc.jobs.misc?
This group exists for job related discussion.
Do not look for a job by posting resumes to misc.jobs.misc.
Do not look for workers by posting job offers to misc.jobs.misc.
Do not post ads of any sort in misc.jobs.misc.
If you are seeking comments/review/critique regarding your resume
(or job offer), you may post it to misc.jobs.misc with a clear statement
that you are seeking comments. Without this statement, readers may assume
that you cannot find the correct newsgroup to post to, and judge you
accordingly.
Most topics relevant to seeking employment, seeking workers, or the
workplace are appropriate here. For example: which items should/shouldn't
be included on a resume, appropriate dress for an interview, salaries,
references, degree vs. experience, working from home, corporate culture,
cubicles vs offices, dating coworkers, layoffs, giving notice, and so on.
Also, followup articles from the .offered and .resumes groups go here.
Discussion regarding the misc.jobs groups goes here as well.
Some topics can easily turn into flamefests, for example drug
testing and affirmative action policies. Please note that other people
have had different experiences than you, and that there is more than one
valid opinion on many of these topics. Even if there is only one valid
opinion, chances are that you will not convince your opponent. Sometimes
you may need to agree to disagree. Also consider that potential employers
and employees may be reading your article. Do they see a reasonable person?
Or do they see someone they would never consider hiring or working for?
