Frequently asked questions

You need to remove the first email you sent us from our database, and then rejoin but this time using the new email address that you have.

You may easily change the email address recorded in our database, by using our 'Update' tool - (which is a tool to quickly unsubscribe an old email address and then subscribe a new email address). Simply click on the 'Update my record' link or simply click here.

To receive our regular jobs newsletter and for ordinary members or job seekers, this announcement service is completely free of charge. Unlike other services in the Internet, for members and job-seekers, this service is completely free. There is absolutely no membership fee or service fee that we collect from job-seekers.

Our membership has grown because the first members have invited their friends to join this DEVJOBS service list. The new members in turn invited their friends, and so on.

There are three simple basic rules that we implement to maintain order within this list.

Rule 1. Write directly to employers.

Rule 2. Always mention DEVJOBS whenever you apply for a job with an employer.

Rule 3. Invite your friends and colleagues to join our mailing list, because we want to deliberately increase our membership base, to attract more postings fom employers.

These basic rules are needed to minimize confusions, maintain order and increase usefulness.

The Editor of DEVJOBS is just one click away. You can reach us via email. We reply to all messages, personally, within 24 hours of receipt of your message. As much as possible, we respond to you individually, responding to your specific needs and inquiries. Thanks DEVJOBS Team.

 

Is my information safe?

Currently, we collect only 2 information (your name and email address). We keep this information in a secure database within the servers of our webhost. Those servers have adequate defenses against hacking, spam and viruses.

Because your privacy is important to us, DEVJOBS adheres to strict confidentiality of information. We do not sell or divulge your email address or personal information to third parties. The informations are kept in a secured database. Only the staff of DEVJOBS has access to that database. Refer to our Privacy Statement for more details. Hence no spammer will be able to get your email address.

If you belong to our mailing list, and if you are taking a leave of absence or going on a long vacation or business trip, it is best to leave the mailing list so that no email will arrive in your mailbox.

When you return, then simply re-join.

This is part of our overall security format called 'double opt-in', which is an essential security step to ensure that no one includes or removes your email address without your permission or consent.

You may easily change the email address recorded in our database, by using our 'Update' tool (which is used to quickly unsubscribe an old email address and then subscribe a new one). Simply click on the 'Update my record' link or simply click here.

If you are getting 2 or more copies of the same issue of our jobs newseletter, that means your name is recorded twice in our database. Or maybe there are 2 different email addresses belonging to you that are recorded in our database. The way to handle this is to remove the 'extra' email addresses, using our 'quick unsub' tool (which is a webpage to quickly unsubscribe 1 or more email address). Simply click on the 'Update my record' link or simply click here.

If you experienced this, we like to first apologize for the inconvenience caused. We like to state that once you unsubscribe, we do not intentionally put your name back into the list without your permission. We don't do that.

But this situation do really happens - accidentally or by mistake - due to the following 3 reasons: (1) Our database was damaged by viruses in late 2005 and when we reconstructed our database in September 2006, we included our old database files of 2004 and 2005 and those may have been outdated in the sense that your name was still included in those old databases, hence, you got re-included by mistake; (2) After we re-launched the online database in September 2006, we shifted to a new mailing list software which is more stable and powerful, and during that shift some of the email address removals were not captured, again by mistake; (3) You may have sent a removal request through this website but did not confirm it using your email. Because we use a 'double opt-out security format', we require members to confirm via email their removal requests.

To remedy this situation, please use our 'quick unsub tool' to quickly remove your email address from our database or simply click here.

Yes, we do. We strictly follow a procedure to ensure that only willing members are added to our database and we don't include an email address without the expressed permission of the owner of that email address. We follow a 'double opt-in security format', requiring the owner of an email address to click on a weblink, to ensure that no one includes an email address in our database without the permission of the owner of that email address. We also provide a quick and working 'unsubscribe link' at the bottom of all our jobs newsletters. When someone uses these single-click 'unsubscribe links', unsubscription is executed immediately. We also use clear and RFC-compliant headers in all our emails. Lastly, we provide adequate and clear instructions on how leave our list, and finally, we have editorial staff that stand ready to help anyone who are having troubles removing their emails from our database. (In such cases, if we receive an unsubscribe request, it is processed immediately - usually in less than one business day.)

If you want further information about our compliance with the CAN-SPAM law, please send a blank email to can-spam@devjobsmail.com

That is probably caused by the filtering mechanisms found in your mail server. For example, in Hotmail.com and Yahoo Mail, there are spam filtering mechanisms that divert some incoming emails into a spam mailbox. That diversion was caused by someone tagging our newsletter as spam which is not really correct. To remedy the situation, look into your spam or junk mailbox and look for the emails that came from us - with the subject line [DEVJOBS]. Transfer them to your Inbox and label them as 'not spam' so that any new arrivals from us will go straight to your Inbox. Hotmail, Yahoo mail and other mailservers have their own specific procedures on how to tag an email as 'not spam', so please follow those instructions correctly.

Yes, you may. But the owner of the email address you submitted must still confirm via email that he/she is willing to join the mailing list. This is to ensure that they are joining our list willingly.
