>I would like to support Dr Greenhalgh's suggestion that if e-mails had more
relevant and explanatory titles, then the job of clearing out one's e-mail
list would be made much easier. I agree that it is useful to have job
adverts arriving in the mail (and like the others before me, I'm not
currently looking for work either) if only we can quickly see that they are
adverts in the title. I don't think this just applies to job adverts but to
ALL e-mails.

>>My own view is that job ads in academic EBM are entirely appropriate for
the EBM list (and I speak as one who is not looking for a new job!). Many
academic researchers are on short term contracts and don't get to hear about
appropriate posts because the cost of advertising in the national press is
so prohibitive. I personally have successfully recruited people through
this list, thereby saving probably thousands of pounds for more productive
aspects of the project.

>>The problem as I see it is not the volume of spam about jobs, but the lack
of declarative titles. If I could see IN THE TITLE that this was a job ad
for a post in Manchester I would trash it without opening. So why not say
people can advertise jobs if and only if they declare in the title (a) that
it is a job ad (b) what the broad field is (e.g. stats, soc sci,
informatics, etc) and (c) what town or city it's in.
