View Full Version : Does anybody get a job from listings in the Cove?
Stijloor 1st April 2008, 08:18 AM Friends,
After a job opportunity has been posted, Moderators close the thread and conclude their posts with:
"We would appreciate knowing whether a Cove reader was successful in landing the job."
Is there information available about our Fellow Covers landing jobs?
Because more and more employment opportunity posts show up here at The Cove Forums, I was curious how this has worked.
Thanks.
Stijloor.
Coury Ferguson 1st April 2008, 10:56 AM That is why we place that statement.
I have not be aware of any responses to this question. Maybe some day the person posting will provide that information.

I forgot about that one. Thanks Harry.
AndyN 1st April 2008, 11:45 AM Yes, indeed. I'm one of those folks who've benefitted.
I've been successful in many ways on the job front, through using the Cove to find/respond to job opportunities.
Firstly, with my current position as Regional Sales Manager (East Coast) for NQA-USA (part of the NTS organization) which was posted here and, with consulting opportunities (in a broad sense) when I was a consultant.
Wes Bucey 1st April 2008, 12:52 PM Sadly, few of the recruiters, themselves, have volunteered such information. Only rarely do they even notify us when the opening is filled by anyone, Cove member or not. Almost always, one of the administrators or moderators has an email exchange with the recruiter before deleting the thread as "stale." In those exchanges, we have not learned whether the position was filled by a Cove member.
In fact, AndyN, himself, notified us, not the recruiter. To my recollection, no other Cover has notified us directly that he got the new position through an ad here in the Cove.
In regard to responses, some of the ads are VERY attractive to a large number of people and they do get "action." Others are severely self-limiting and do not receive many responses. That pretty much sums up the state of ALL employment ads everywhere. We can provide templates for recruiters and employers which our experience has shown generate good solid candidate leads, but we can't force a recruiter to follow the template. It's a topic (ineffective recruiting ads) we discuss at length in the thread Tips to get past the "gatekeeper" when job hunting (http://elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=9325)

Yes, but it was just a sales job (http://elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?p=242471#post242471) so it doesn't really count. :notme::tg:

I have copied all the posts in the original thread (Are 'Covers' Successful in Landing Jobs posted here?) to this one in the Occupation Discussions Forum entitled Does anybody get a job from listings in the Cove? (http://elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=26704) which IS open to general comment without moderator release. I am closing the original thread, but leaving the link to this new thread.

Wes Bucey 19th May 2008, 03:59 AM Just discovered this thread. You can remove the Oregon, OH position.Which one would that be? I don't see ANY job offerings posted by you which are currently open in the job Forum. Click on the "report post" button at the top of any post you think Moderators should reconsider and your reason for reporting it should be added in the popup box which will appear if your browser accepts popups.

What are you asking for? Are you saying the position is filled or that it was identified to the wrong state?
Wes Bucey 19th May 2008, 02:32 PM What are you asking for? Are you saying the position is filled or that it was identified to the wrong state?Only the original poster OR the person who filled the job may request removal. It will stay until one of the following conditions is met:
Original poster asks for removal.
Job candidate from the Cove gives us sufficient info HE or SHE filled the post.
Listing expires as "stale."
