I have been on the bar for a long time as well. I remember the old bar, and I can agree there used to be many more job postings.
However I think that charging for job posts was one of the best changes he could have made. The only postings the charges caused to no longer be posted were all the idiots playing games posting for jobs they didnt have and the fly by night subs trying to play big dog. And I am sure you can remember all those job postings. For a long time we all took advantage of this bar. I too have had several jobs that turned out to be decent, however I also had several jobs that were posted on the bar that got me to drive many miles to find out I was lied to.
I think that charging a honest company who has work and is looking for good help is much better than charging the out of work guy who is fighting the sometimes dredful task of just feeding his kids. It not only is of benefit to me as a guy looking for
work, it benefits you as a company posting work as there are less bullchit job postings for you to compete with.
The one thing I do wish he would change is letting them post without any sign of a company name.
I say he should keep up the good work, dont blame the bar because there is less work posted. blame the industry.
sometimes its irritating when talking in discussion and your post gets deleted because you name names or say the wrong thing the wrong way, but then he did add the personal messages and that makes it easy to tell your tales to a person should you find yourself wanting to discuss things that should not be just thrown out to public anyway. I for one when the bank account will allow me to give change will do just that and have the P just like you.
but blocking out all the peeps who dont have the change to give after 30 days would make this website a dead site with no job postings at all because the only people on here would be those of you working and not in need of work, now who would post a job here if that were the case, what would be the use?
anyway just my thoughts. I say again, good job cabl.com and thanks for all the years of excellent service to us.
