Suggestion for those posting job ads

Note: This was written several months ago, and I am no longer looking for work

As someone who has been digging through a lot of job listings, I have a suggestion for those writing them:

Please, stop posting what you don’t want, and limit it to what you do.

I’ve been looking mostly for telecommute jobs, but when I search for telecommute along with other keywords, I find posting after posting saying “NO TELECOMMUTE” or similar – you’re only going to attract people looking for that keyword by posting it

If they just left it at “ON-SITE ONLY” it would not show up in a search for telecommute positions
