This is getting rather silly? A note for those seeking employment like
myself - it probably isn't wise highlighting your inability to read
conditions and details regarding this group to potential employers.
However, your petty squabbling is probably making it easier for
enthusiastic and respectable graduates like myself to gain
employment!!
I wouldn't know where to turn for an alternative GIS jobs mailing
list, because there isn't one! So my advice is to be thankful that
someone has provided you with a platform to gain employment in what, I
am quickly realising to be, quite a tough job market. On that note I
think I may be sending round a similar email to those in question to
subscribers, as I am becoming quite desperate for an opportunity to
get my foot in the door, whether that be employed or simply work
experience.
