There are alot of talented perl programmers on this web site, and alot of entry level and "junior" programmers as well. I was wondering what everyones thoughts on having a "jobs" section of the site? As well as have any of you "gods" thought about this as well?

    The topic's come up before. This and that have some people's opinions on the subject.

    To reiterate points that have already been made against a Jobs section on Perlmonks - I wouldn't want such a section, as I read and follow Perlmonks at work from time to time - and while I'm a contractor, I wouldn't want my employers to think that I'm browsing for better offers on their time.

    On the other side, if there is money to be made for Perlmonks from such offers, I would think that maybe banning job offers into a section I could turn off from my preferences (at least while I'm at work somewhere) would be cool - but on the other side, I question the value of such "hot job offers" that get spammed all over the place. If somebody takes the time to register and even maybe become a (hopefully good) name here, that gets my respect, but Anonymous Monks posting unformatted blurbs as job offers ...

    Ok Iam sorry for posting a node that is just bringing up a topic that has allready been discussed. Had I done searching to see if a node on this very subject existed then I would have not written it. But I will say this, sometimes (the sick and twisted person Iam) I like to post things in forums (PM discussion is a forum in a sence) that may not go along with my views, but I feel that the topic would bring alot of feedback and generate some good discussion. So all in all if this topic not been brought up all ready I think this node would be a good post but as it is right now it is nothing more than fodder :)
