[TriLUG] redundant job postings

[Joseph Mack NA3T]

I went to the jobs section in craigslist last night to find 
many of the jobs that I've seen posted here. I thought that 
the postings here were somehow unique to this list (although 
I hadn't thought about what might qualify as unique). I now 
see that many of the job postings here are dupes of postings 
elsewhere, which could be better handled by a link to the 
original posting.

I think it's good to know about jobs, and I think links to 
Linux related jobs are a reasonable use of this list, but a 
posting here should be on the basis that it has something 
unique to this list like

"I work here/I know the person you'll report to, and I 
recommend this job" or "I wouldn't work here in a million 
years".

Of more interest to me would be a list of places to look for 
jobs and how to handle job applications. eg one of the 
postings wanted to know my current salary. That is between 
me and the IRS and is none of their business. Craigslist 
makes you read a page of pitfalls/scams that you might 
encounter, before it lets you see the job postings. There 
must be enough experience in this group in applying for jobs 
that we could have a similar page on trilug.org
