Do not choose the "Special notices" as that is not active for these groups.

I recommend "Individual emails" as you can get the best formatting and the most timely delivery.  I also recommend you set up a mail filter on the [spmjobs] or [spmdiscuss] keyword to direct the messages into an email folder.  Feel comfortable to delete messages because everything is archived on the group site.

"Daily digest" is also a good choice, but messages lose all of their formatting thus it can be hard to read

Dear Valued Members of the softwareproductmarketing jobs group,

More of you need to vote in the polls.  Right now only 15% of you have voted.  This isn't critical mass to make this data an effective tool for me to help you in your job search.

I'm  puzzled - most of you are here to find jobs in a very tough market, and answering these questions is a brief 5-minute time investment. If this is too much trouble, are you actually up to applying for a job? (If the questions are confusing, or you have privacy concerns, etc. please contact me.  All responses to the poll are anonymous to everyone, including me.)

Why this poll is good for YOU:

The more information I can present about the members, the more I can entice hiring managers, recruiters and HR personnel to post their BEST jobs here FIRST! They like targeted marketing just like everybody else.

The hoi polloi on other less focused list will be left in the dust. That means fewer but higher quality resumes to hiring firms and a better chance for YOU to get the RIGHT JOB!

The results of the polls are useful and will give YOU insight into what's going on in the marketplace, knowledge about your job-seeking competitors.  But this is only true if a statistically significant number of you VOTE!

OK, TIME TO VOTE! Take only 5 minutes out of your "busy" schedule.

ALL 11 POLL QUESTIONS ARE NOW POSTED AND CAN BE FOUND HERE:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/softwareproductmarketing/polls

Yahoo put them in a strange order (I'll buy a cup of coffee for whoever can explain it), so I suggest you answer the questions by date.  But don't get caught up in the details, just answer the questions.

Thanks and may you leave the jobs group soon except to return later as a hiring manager :-)

Hi everyone,

The polls are still open.  Now that I have some early results, I am using this information to actively solicit new job postings...but, I still need the REST (approx. 80%) of you to vote!  Please don't be turned away by the poll format...the poll tool at Yahoo Groups is extremely primitive (for example, I can only ask ONE question per poll).  Please answer all questions as best you can.  Because the order is strange (another problem with the poll software) it's best to answer the questions by date rather than from top to bottom. Link to polls: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/softwareproductmarketing/polls.

[Note that the number of votes varies wildly because some questions were multiple choice and the poll software is counting every vote, not number of individuals that voted.  Another bug in the Yahoo Groups poll software.]

Below is an example of how I successfully used the poll information to obtain several job listings.  I am having to make some pretty far-fetched "guesses" as to the demographics of the list though since so few of you have voted.  The more of you that vote, the more effective I can be in getting the right jobs listed!
