Suggestions for Opportunity Registry

Please add the state initials to the end of the summary. This will increase the number of viewers.

This is what the Geography categories are for. Go to Category:Geography for more details.

For *usability* this whole category should have sub-category by date, by location, by job function. Of all places, a job description in a post on a SAS forum should be more explicit on what type of job. For example, 

Clinical Trials, Statistician, New Jersey, USA, 21/14/2007, My_CRO  would use these:

Subcat: Clinical Trials
Subcat: Statistician
Subcat: New Jersey
Subcat: USA
Subcat: Date
Subcat: Organization

Great suggestions. Some of these are already available. Categories exist for Geography. So you can add New Jersey and USA. The New Jersey category page might not exist yet - so take a shot at creating it. Likewise, categories for Clinical Trials and Statistician make sense. We might p0ut Clinical Trials as a subcategory of Industry or something like that; Not exactly sure what to call the parent of Statistician. Note that in Web2.0, the concept of subcategories is making one category belong to another. That way they can be re-used (e.g., Geography can also be matched with User Groups).

However the applicability of categories for Date and Organization is not clear to me.

  • For Date, once the position is filled, the page should just be updated to reflect that perhaps. You want to leave the page there so others can watch it so they are notified when it is updated for a new opening.
  • Likewise for Organization, seems to me that you want one (or a small set) of pages that interested parties could watch so they are notified when there are new openings.

For both of these cases, we need to have users start thinking about watching existing pages instead of creating or trying to find new ones for positions. Of course there will always be new ones as new organizations take advantage of the site, but we should minimize the use of new pages for a new opening at an organization that already has a page.

I am adding geography to new opportunities on a monthly basis. User:PennSAS 11:06, 18 June 2007 (EDT)
