    Since the onset of the economic crisis, teachers have had the galling experience of being excoriated by certain sectors of the media - notably Independent Newspapers - on the one hand whilst then having to buy their publications on the other when looking for jobs.

    Well here's a little good news. Those days are coming to an end. This new DES circular paves the way for web-based advertising of teaching vacancies, with a transitional period from now until the end of the year.

    I have no problem with freedom of the press, however all of us in our own lives know that freedom of expression has to be used responsibly. You can't expect someone to like you or help you if you attack them at will. Thankfully, our days of being forced to buy the Irish Independent and Sunday Independent are coming to an end and hopefully they might reflect a little on the fact that many of us are not likely to be feeling particularly sorry for them as they face a significant dent in advertising revenue.

    Next sort out the joke that the vecs lack one central site for jobs.

    Yes, they have done their absolute best to demonise the public service and teachers in particular over the last few years, no doubt at the instruction of their wealthy owners. Funny how the National Union of Journalists have rejected paycuts of only 5% at a certain newspaper given their colleagues at INM shouting for paycuts in the PS.

    it is interesting to note that only educationposts.ie is on the list. that should ensure all jobs are advertised here?

    it does say that the list can be changed by management bodies so surely the ivea has designated educationposts as a single site for vecs.

    or am i a mile off?

    The vecs often stick an ad up on educationposts/careers that basically says go to our website for info. Better than nothing but I assume each vec has an individual I.t. Staff member and having individual sites that serve the same function is simply to keep someone in a job

    A bit like the PS in general then you'd agree - duplication, waste, excess costs, low productivity and impossible to change due to the unions and other vested interests.
