Job search filter?
-
I clicked a link in the weekly Newsletter and got the error: This job is not available in your area. Sorry! I'm curious as to why this filter is in place? What if I'm not looking for jobs in my area, but in other areas? I'm constantly looking for a reason to move to somewhere else, software development in particular makes this possible. Unless there are legal reasons you can't display something, I would prefer if you not filter me in anyway, it is just annoying, and never relevant. Ken Foster

I agree 100% :)

I'd be more impressed if you agreed something like 38% - it would be much more entertaining.
I have CDO, it's OCD with the letters in the right order; just as they ruddy well should be
Forgive your enemies - it messes with their heads

Me agreeing with you for only 38% would have seemed quite unlikely until very recently, however I just read your neighborly anecdote, where you failed to properly explain the channels button for the better part of one hour, so a partial agreement suddenly became quite conceivable; not sure anyone would consider it entertaining though. And now I'll continue my reading (a set of TV manuals, as I am in the middle of choosing a new TV set). :doh:

If you need any advice then feel free to... ...seek it elsewhere. ;P

you're denying me the benefit of your unfathomable avuncularity? :((

I am only avuncular when the plane ticket is provided.

Hmm[^], I can get a couple of TV's at that price. :) PS: it was avuncular, not avioncular.

Ken and our team have had an email chat about this so I thought I'd post Dave's explanation so others could see: The ability to limit showing geographically is by design and is stipulated by the employer at the time of posting. The feature was actually added after launch at the request of the employers. The problem was that employers were being literally inundated with responses from developers who wanted employment visa sponsorship and it was badly degrading the signal to noise ratio for the employers. We fully (truly) understand your point but in the end this is what the employers wanted.

Perhaps you can temporarily modify your profile so that it shows you from a different location, then check out the job listings and they will hopefully appear with your updated location. When you're done searching, you can go back to your profile to reflect your true location. Just a suggestion... not sure if you can change your location in your profile or if it is determined by IP address or something.
