As a person who has been employed in positions learned of through the net I'd like to offer my opinion as to what makes net.jobs worth reading. The thing I find most useful is that postings in net.jobs have been specific and detailed about one or a small number of real positions. After reading a net.jobs posting I knew: who the position was with what qualifications were needed what the duties were what special attraction the position had to offer often the posting contains: salary range benifits My problem with head hunters is that they very often do not give the information as mentioned above. To ``protect'' themselves and their livelyhood a headhunter will keep you in the dark as to, for example, who the client is. My feeling is that the best attribute of net.jobs is DETAILS. I wouldn't care, in fact it would be to the advantage to the job seeking netters, if headhunters were (in recognition that they are a guest in a national forum of qualified individuals) to write net.jobs postings NOT as they would write for a newspaper but, rather, in a fashion as described above.
