                                04-01-94

                              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.

   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 as long as it is not modified in any way.

                              Job Seekers

   We would like to be able to present you with an extensive listing of systems
   that could be of assistance in your search for suitable employment.
   Unfortunately, the reality is that very few employment related systems are
   online, and many of the online systems are limited to particular types of
   positions or only serve a limited geographical area.  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 four main sections:  1)  Independent
   2)  Recruiter Sponsored, 3) State & Local 4)  Federal.  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.  To date the only state and local systems
   we have located are in Texas, but we expect all governments to become more
   active in the online arena.  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.


                              Conventions

                              System Name

                               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.

   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.

   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.

                  to fill positions.  This system can also be search by a
                  variety of categories including military speciality.
                  Available jobs can be viewed.  The ALEX system originates
                  in Albany, New York which means that it should be available

                                 CHEERS

  Cheers and a tip of the modem, to the Consumer Information Center operated
  by Joshua Shleien, Jerry Young and the GSA at 202-208-7679.  This is not
  an employment related BBS, but it is full of helpful texts and files for
  consumers.  No access fees are required and the system uses high speed
  modems for file transfers.  The board is a Wildcat! BBS system so it has
  none of the cryptic command problems often associated with government
  systems.  The system also has online games available, so in addition to
  being highly informative, it is fun. Put this system in your dialer as it

  Jeers to Laran Communications for its wide spread distribution of the
  Job-Link files ALL-JL1 and ALL-JL2.  Each of these 36K files (compressed
  to 18K)  contains 35K of advertising, promotion and file display overhead.
  Together the two files contain 1K of actual information on a grand total of
  3 jobs and two of jobs are with Laran.  Reminds us of the commercial with
  the old lady asking "Where's the BEEF?"
