                         THE EMPLOYMENT BBS LIST
                               Version 4
                                01-01-95


                              Introduction


   This list and review was compiled by the staff of the Executive Connection
   Information System.  The following listings were gathered from several
   sources, including several national BBS lists, tag lines, discussions in
   job related conferences, magazine articles, and network node lists.  In
   every case the system was contacted within 30 days of the publication date
   of this list.  If we could not make contact with a system, we have not
   included that board in this list.

   If you know of a board that should be included in this list, please leave
   a message on the Executive Connection at 214-306-3393 (Online),  FIDO
   1:124/9032, Internet staff@execon.metronet.com.  If you are the sysop of
   one of the boards listed here and any information is incorrect, or
   changes, please let us know.  This list will be issued on a regular basis.
   The most recent release can be FIDO file requested using the name employ,
   or by sending an e-mail message to employ@execon.metronet.com.

   The information contained herein is correct to the best of our knowledge.
   No warranties are expressed or implied.  This list may be freely posted and
   distributed in it's entirety as long as it is not modified in any way. It
   is not to be distributed via echo mail conferences.


                              Job Seekers

   Since a call to most of these systems will be long distance we suggest you
   review the section on conventions for a better understanding of the features
   of each of the boards listed.  Don't overlook the help that might be
   available on your local boards.  Many sysops carry the job conferences from
   FIDO, Rime, Jobnet, Internet etc,. and these conferences can be an excellent
   source of job information.  The best employment board is the one that helps
   you find your next job.

   The boards are divided into six  main sections:  1)  Independent
   2)  Recruiter Sponsored, 3) State & Local 4)  Federal 5) Company and
   6) Internet Employment Resources.  Independent boards typically carry
   information and job listings from a variety of different sources and the
   information is updated on a periodic basis.  Regular calls are required
   to get the latest lists.  2)  Recruiter Sponsored boards typically include
   a resume database and once you upload your resume you have been entered
   into their system for current and future consideration for the jobs they
   have available.  It is not necessary to call these systems on a regular
   basis.  3) State & Local boards are operated by state or by local
   governments.  Information on the state and local government boards is
   updated on a regular basis and periodic calls are necessary to obtain the
   latest information.  4)  Federal boards are operated by the Federal
   Government and only include listings of government employment.  All the
   OPM systems have much the same information and it is not necessary to call
   multiple systems.  The job vacancy information is updated on a weekly basis.
   Some of the independent boards also carry federal employment information
   from the OPM boards.  5)  Company Sponsored boards are limited to current
   positions available within the organization.  6)  Internet resources
   includes a variety of different types of employment related information.


                              Conventions

                              System Name
                               Location
                           Main Phone Number
                               Max  Baud

   FOCUS:  Where are the jobs located and what industries and functions
           are included.  National focus means you will find positions
           available nationwide.  Regional focus means that the positions
           are generally limited to the section of the country in which
           the board operates.  Local focus means that the positions are
           generally limited to the metro area in which the board operates.
           A National focus always includes regional and local positions.
           If the jobs are generally limited to a particular function or
           industry this information is noted.

   FEES:   Free or Required  ANY charge for FULL system access and the
           board is designated as fee required.

   FILES:  Only job search and employment related texts and files are
           considered.  The age and utility of the files are also a
           factor.  This entry does not refer to job vacancy lists and
           files only to employment and search information and tools.
           The classifications of limited, good and extensive are
           subjective evaluations.

   CONFERENCES:  Only job search and employment related conferences are
           noted.  Conferences designated as Local are not echoed outside
           the system to other boards.  Network conferences related to
           job search and employment are noted by network and conference
           name.  See the conference listings for more details on the
           content of various networks.  Conferences often contain the
           most current employment information available and are very
           important resources.

   RELATED SERVICES:  Activities, services, and products available to
           assist the job seeker find suitable employment.  Typical
           entries include resume database, resume services, recruiter
           lists etc.  Additional fees or charges for these services
           does not influence the FEES Free or Required status of the
           board.

   JOB LISTINGS:  Factual and subjective comments on the number, type,
           age and utility of the positions listed on the system and
           the method used to access these positions.  Our preference
           is for systems to permit viewing, searching and downloading
           of all job listings. On several systems we could not gain
           access to the job listings without a paid subscription. In
           some cases we elected to pay the fee on other systems we
           declined and have made note of the fact that we did not have
           complete access.

   COMMENTS:  Remarks and observations that may assist the job seeker
           in selecting a system to call.  Please note that every system
           included in this list has the potential to be an asset in
           the search process.  In compiling this list we called 100s
           of systems and most did not meet the minimum criteria we
           have established.

                EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND JOB RESOURCES
                            ON THE INTERNET
  ___________________________________________________________________________

   We have not attempted to compile a complete guide to the employment
   resources available on the internet.  While the internet contains 100's
   of sites and locations with employment information much of the infor-
   mation is too specialized, or other wise unsuitable for this list.
   What we have attempted to do is list the major sources of employment
   information available and suggest a few sites that provide gateway access
   to the major and minor sources of information.

                                 GOPHER

   Most of these services can be accessed through GOPHER, a menu-driven
   worldwide system of information systems. You can connect to gopher either
   through your local gopher server or by telnetting to a public gopher site.

                seymour.md.gov             login: gopher
                cat.ohiolink.edu           login: gopher
                consultant.micro.umn.edu   login: gopher
   
   Once you are connected to a gophersite, select the menu entry Other
   Gophers or something similar to this, followed by All the Gopher Servers
   in the World.  If you have a local gopher client on your system, you can
   try connecting directly to a gopher site by typing "gopher node.domain"
   where "node.domain" is the Internet address of the gopher you want to
   access.
