jobs board

[mapsam]

@coregis mentioned having some sort of jobs board on cugos.org would be neat. Anyone have ideas of how this could work?

I think it's a good idea. I imagine the simplest solution is just a "Jobs Page" where people can post open positions. Might be a good way for people googling "Geospatial jobs" or "GIS Job" to find CUGOS.

At different points in my life, when I was looking for options, I looked here:http://www.gjc.org/map/index.html I think it came up because there was a position open or recruiting with Booking and there was also an attendee looking for work. I don't know that we'd want to aggregate anything from other sources, just provide a place/structure where CUGOSians can connect where opportunities exist/arise.

+1 on this being a good idea. The mailing list has traditionally been used for this, but hasn't been very active in the recent past.

One thing to keep in mind about adding this to the website is that open positions expire... Would posts live forever?

It doesn't seem like posts would want to live forever. But some posts are "open until filled" or some businesses may do recruitment ongoing. If posters are identifiable, there should be a follow up date if not an expiration date on a post. Yes?
