Positions Vacant And Out-dated

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will know that my major gripe is unsubstantiated or out- dated claims.

Well, PositionsVacant have given me some fresh fodder. I saw this when arriving at their home page…

And:

First up, who cares what your ranking was back in ‘06? One year in the online world is equivalent to seven years in the offline world - things move fast. Some days I get motion sickness with how quickly things are moving. According to this calculation, the claim made by Positions Vacant is fourteen-years-old. Just to give you some perspective, it’s kinda like Los Del Rio trying to get free drinks at the local club because they were number one on the Billboards for The Macarena in 1996.

Their second statement, that for June, July and August they were the largest audited privately owned job board in Australia, seems a bit more credible, until you click on the link to find out more. This claim regards data from ‘07!

Can we start bragging about stats that are at least remotely current??

I never could quite do that Macarena dance…
