RE: Help! Where can I post Informix jobs on the net?

I agree with Jack. Recruiters are just trying to find those of us who have been doing this awhile and therefore like to help others. They may seem annoying to you today but if you find yourself without work tomorrow you may be searching this group for the "right" opportunity. Let's try to remember that we are all here to help each other and if helping a fellow Informix user find his next job is the task then let's do what we can to aid his/her search. Just my .02.
