Well, we have hired at least one person here at NCAR that heard about us by reading net postings from here (even though he didn't hear about the particular job that he now has via that route). We have received many applicants for jobs directly from net postings. I have had people look at my rental unit that heard about it via net postings (I posted those to co.general, so no one in New Jersey should have seen it :-) And there is no real additional cost for such a posting. It seems to work at least as well as a newspaper ad, and in certain cases (like searching for UNIX people) it's even better. --Greg -- UUCP: {husc6, gatech, oddjob, ames, noao}!hao!woods CSNET: woods@ncar.csnet INTERNET: woods@hao.ucar.edu
