Of course, I am also sick of receiving inquiries that have been generated from, for instance, Monster.com (where there is sufficient information to answer most initial contact questions, including with regard to relocation) and having the recruiter start of my asking me to answer a series of questions including my expected rate/salary (which is on Monster), whether I am authorized to work in the US, whether I will relocate (on Monater), my skillsets (on Monster), whether I will relocate for a perm placement (on Monster), my address and phone numbers (on Monster), and for my resume (which they alread extracted from Monster!).

Other inquiries require me to go to an individual company’s web site to fill out an application . . . as if I walked in off the street instead of their contacting _me_.

As for the job sites, is the job site or the job poster responsible for removing the job listing when it is filled?

Yeah, I’d LOVE to have a standard format that I could post on my web site and link other sites to it.
