Job Discussion Forums

[Stephen Jones]

The fact that these forums are now searchable, and that postings don't disapear after six weeks somewhat obviates the need for the Job Information Journal.

It is normal to get negative posts. People are not likely to post to say that their present or previous place of employment was not too bad overall and maybe you would like it. There are few jobs in the world one can be 100% positive about, and you would almost certainly be considered and undercover employer if you were.

I fail to understand the demands to update it. if nobody posts what are the moderators supposed to do?

One thing is clear; negative experiences should be posted there, and you should read the whole journal for a country before accepting a job there.
