Impromptu poll about job postings

Lately, i've been getting a lot of job postings which end up residing in my email inbox, because i'm not entirely sure about who to send them to. If I spam a listserv, I risk having members consider my emails to be trivial, which is never a good thing. Conversely, if I send a few, pointed emails, I am thanked and considered a good member of the particular online community; a good samaritan almost.

So...I would like to conduct an impromptu poll on whether visitors would like to see job postings here on my blog, or not. Just hit the like or dislike buttons below, but if you have more time than that, please leave comments? Feedback is ALWAYS appreciated.

To be fair, I should mention a word about what sort of jobs I will post: basically, anything that comes to my inbox. Since I get A LOT of emails about jobs, I figure at least someone will be made better off. They will mostly be for the public sector/non-profit world, but with a good smattering of finance jobs, too. For those searching for jobs, please visit regularly, bookmark my blog or just subscribe to the RSS feed! (Thank God Google makes my life so easy and allows me to do these things nearly effortlessly!)

Thanks in advance and happy hunting!
