<div>Dear Jason,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think it is not wrong to post jobs, when related to the building simulation topic in general. Posting them on a specific day of the month, is an almost impossible limitation for those announcing the job.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It would be helpfull, though, to have a statement in the mail subject that indicates it is a job announcement, with maybe a differentiation for academic jobs and others. Something as simple as 'JOB' could do the job ;-)</div>

It has become common enough that I am wondering if it is time to revisit the policy on those kinds of messages.<br>
<br>Remember the core purpose of the mailing lists is to help each other with the use of building energy simulation programs and I don't want that messed up by becoming just a job board. On the other hand, helping people in the community get jobs and find help seems like a good idea too.<br>
<br>The current policy is shown on<br><br><a href="http://onebuilding.org/guidelines.html" target="_blank">http://onebuilding.org/guidelines.html</a><br><br>and states:<br><br>"Job announcements are welcome on the mailing lists but are restricted to one posting per month on your choice of one <a href="http://onebuilding.org/" target="_blank">onebuilding.org</a> mailing list."<br>
<br>It seems like we have a number of choices and I would like your input on revising the policy. Here are some choices that I thought up:<br><br>a) Keep as is.<br><br>b) Add "service offered" to the policy.<br>
<br>c) Require that all job announcements and services offered are posted on one certain day per month (a job fair day).<br><br>d) Create a new mailing list called SIM-JOBS that would be the only location that these kind of posts would be allowed.<br>
<br>e) Do not allow any help wanted or services offered posting at all.<br><br>If you have an opinion or you have other ideas, please respond to the BLDG-SIM mailing list and let us know.<br><br>Hopefully this will spur enough discussion that I will get an understanding of how the people using the mailing list feel.<br>
