THE EMPLOYMENT BBS LIST Version 0.3 10-01-94 Introduction This list and review was compiled by the staff of the Executive Connection Information System. The following listings were gathered from several sources, including several national BBS lists, tag lines, discussions in job related conferences, magazine articles, and network node lists. In every case the system was contacted within 30 days of the publication date of this list. If we could not make contact with a system, we have not included that board in this list. If you know of a board that should be included in this list, please leave a message on the Executive Connection at 214-306-3393 (Online), FIDO 1:124/9032, Internet staff@execon.metronet.com. If you are the sysop of one of the boards listed here and any information is incorrect, or changes, please let us know. This list will be issued on a regular basis. The most recent release can be FIDO file requested using the name employ, or by sending an e-mail message to employ@execon.metronet.com. The information contained herein is correct to the best of our knowledge. No warranties are expressed or implied. This list may be freely posted and distributed in it's entirety as long as it is not modified in any way. It is not to be distributed via echo mail conferences. Job Seekers Since a call to most of these systems will be long distance we suggest you review the section on conventions for a better understanding of the features of each of the boards listed. Don't overlook the help that might be available on your local boards. Many sysops carry the job conferences from FIDO, Rime, Jobnet, Internet etc,. and these conferences can be an excellent source of job information. The best employment board is the one that helps you find your next job. The boards are divided into six main sections: 1) Independent 2) Recruiter Sponsored, 3) State & Local 4) Federal 5) Company and 6) Internet Employment Resources. Independent boards typically carry information and job listings from a variety of different sources and the information is updated on a periodic basis. Regular calls are required to get the latest lists. 2) Recruiter Sponsored boards typically include a resume database and once you upload your resume you have been entered into their system for current and future consideration for the jobs they have available. It is not necessary to call these systems on a regular basis. 3) State & Local boards are operated by state or by local governments. Information on the state and local government boards is updated on a regular basis and periodic calls are necessary to obtain the latest information. 4) Federal boards are operated by the Federal Government and only include listings of government employment. All the OPM systems have much the same information and it is not necessary to call multiple systems. The job vacancy information is updated on a weekly basis. Some of the independent boards also carry federal employment information from the OPM boards. 5) Company Sponsored boards are limited to current positions available within the organization. 6) Internet resources includes a variety of different types of employment related information. Conventions System Name Location Main Phone Number Max Baud FOCUS: Where are the jobs located and what industries and functions are included. National focus means you will find positions available nationwide. Regional focus means that the positions are generally limited to the section of the country in which the board operates. Local focus means that the positions are generally limited to the metro area in which the board operates. A National focus always includes regional and local positions. If the jobs are generally limited to a particular function or industry this information is noted. FEES: Free or Required ANY charge for FULL system access and the board is designated as fee required. FILES: Only job search and employment related texts and files are considered. The age and utility of the files are also a factor. This entry does not refer to job vacancy lists and files only to employment and search information and tools. The classifications of limited, good and extensive are subjective evaluations. CONFERENCES: Only job search and employment related conferences are noted. Conferences designated as Local are not echoed outside the system to other boards. Network conferences related to job search and employment are noted by network and conference name. See the conference listings for more details on the content of various networks. Conferences often contain the most current employment information available and are very important resources. RELATED SERVICES: Activities, services, and products available to assist the job seeker find suitable employment. Typical entries include resume database, resume services, recruiter lists etc. Additional fees or charges for these services does not influence the FEES Free or Required status of the board. JOB LISTINGS: Factual and subjective comments on the number, type, age and utility of the positions listed on the system and the method used to access these positions. Our preference is for systems to permit viewing, searching and downloading of all job listings. On several systems we could not gain access to the job listings without a paid subscription. In some cases we elected to pay the fee on other systems we declined and have made note of the fact that we did not have complete access. COMMENTS: Remarks and observations that may assist the job seeker in selecting a system to call. Please note that every system included in this list has the potential to be an asset in the search process. In compiling this list we called 100s of systems and most did not meet the minimum criteria we have established. _____________________________________________________________________________ INDEPENDENT SYSTEMS _____________________________________________________________________________ Cap Access Washington, DC 202-785-1523 14400 FOCUS: Federal FEES: None Required FILES: None CONFERENCES: Local RELATED SERVICES: None JOB LISTINGS: Federal and National Institute files.

What we have attempted to do is list the major sources of employment information available and suggest a few sites that provide gateway access to the major and minor sources of information. Our policy of calling every site listed in this list within 30 days of publication applies to the following sites as well. However, what works for us may not work for you.

We need your help and contributions to continue to offer the best listing available. Please send contributions to FIDO 1:124/9032 or call the Executive Connection at 214-306-3393 and leave us a message. JEERS to the television networks that continue to present a twisted and distorted view of BBSes and Online Services. Sex and violence sells and it improves television ratings but a prime time show linking bomb making with BBSing is not objective reporting. ____________________________________________________________________________ (C) 1994 - Executive Connection All Rights Reserved _____________________________________________________________________________
