Frequently asked questions

As a member of our online mailing list, you will get the jobs announcements in your email inbox once a week. Each email contains several messages which are mostly job listings and announcements. From time to time, a few announcements on conferences, seminars, internships and scholarships are included in the newsletters. We do not send you any commercial ads or offers of any kind.

As stated above, for ordinary members or job seekers, this service is completely free of charge. Unlike other services in the Internet, this service is completely free for members and job-seekers. That's right, you read it right. There is absolutely no membership fee or fee that we collect from job-seekers.

Only employers are asked to pay a small fee to help sustain this service.

While members do not pay any fee, there are two basic non-monetary obligations of members: (1) always mentioning to employer that job info was obtained from DEVJOBS whenever applying for job, and (2) inviting others to join the list.

DEVJOBS is asking members to make voluntary contributions to help support DEVJOBS. But it is purely voluntary on the part of memebrs to give. Please help us.

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 and so forth.

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

Rule 1. Write directly to employers. Members or job-seekers who are interested in inquiring about a certain posted position or in applying for it must write directly to the employer or person indicated in the job ad, and not to the DEVJOBS Office, Editor or Moderator. Please do not just press the "reply button" whenever you receive our jobs newsletters. Instead, clearly write the name and address in your email of the designated person of the employer organization. If you want to send your resume as file attachment, please send it directly to the employer which posted the ad, and not to DEVJOBS Office, Editor or Moderator. DEVJOBS will not accept any resume or any file attachment. We automatically discard any file attachment or job application sent in by job seekers. Job-seekers are also not allowed to post their resume here because we don't have any facility to store them. Also, we don't forward job application emails to employers.

Rule 2. Always mention DEVJOBS whenever you apply for a job with an employer. This is essential to keep the employer aware about this service, and it could lead to more postings from employers.

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.

Members who belong to our earlier database experienced this problem, which is due to batching of requests for unsubscribes. But this problem is not present anymore because we have introduced an online database (through the great services of our webhost and a software company called MailMachinePro.com ). So, when you unsubscribe now, it takes effect immediately. Done and completed right that minute.

No. DEVJOBS is purely a job announcement service at this time. We do not have any facility to store resume and Cvs of members. You should send your resume directly to the employer with which you are applying for a job. We do not forward emails, nor do we want to see a copy of your job applications or CVs. DEVJOBS has no direct involvement in the job processing or hiring process. See also our Terms of Use policy.

DEVJOBS may also introduce in 2007 a new premium service where paying members would get fresh new jobs announcements, leads and information. The jobs will be sent to email boxes more frequently - every two days. Details will be announced in 2007 when the premium service becomes available.

Some members reported that they experienced days or weeks when DEVJOBS emails stopped. For YahooMail and Hotmail users, the cause is that they have installed spam filters to filter out some bulk emails. Click >here if you are a Yahoo Mail or Hotmail.com user, to find out more about this problem.

For other members, there are varied causes, like: a) accidental deletion of your email address record in our database; b) your email box is already full or over-quota and therefore could not accept further emails; c) your email redirection service has stopped; d) your ISP or LAN is filtering out our emails. It is important to find out the real reason or cause, and fix it.
