[SI-LIST] Resume' posting to si-list

To paraphrase a recent post:
>
> Dear Madam/Sir,   My name is S.I. Engineer I am a graduate student at
>University of Somewhere, in the department of Electrical and Computer
>Engineering, planning to graduate with M.S. in Computer Engineering in
>August2002. I am looking for a full time job opportunity.

        Just a general comment to all of those in the SI community
        who are currently looking for new positions. Please feel free
        to utilize the si-list to make a short succinct plea with
        a pointer to an e-mail address or web site for further info,
        but as a general thing, the posting of a full resume' to the
        list probably isn't the best way to go.
        
        Si-list attempts to keep the signal-to-noise ratio high with
        respect to the percentage of technical conversation relative
        to non-technical content. While job hunting is an important
        activity to many in today's economy, unfortunately it doesn't
        contribute to a high SNR on the list.
        
        So to reiterate, a short, succinct posting related to job
        hunting is OK, a full blown resume is discouraged.
        
        While on the subject, I'd also mention that postings by
        head-hunter (recruiters) is definitely discouraged, but
        postings by principals (hiring managers and working engineers)
        looking to augment staff in their departments is acceptable.
        Just keep the posting reasonable short and to the point and
        refer those interested to alternate channels of communications
        to follow up on your offer.
