Owner: Clem Wang
Group Profile: NLP People membership is open to all, including recruiters. Be warned, if you are a recruiter there is a space where jobs should be posted. Contacting specific members about a job or opportunity is a good use of this space, however I don’t want generic messages sent blindly to the membership spamming about jobs. There are websites for that and if they choose they can sign up there. For everyone: please do not spam the message boards with essentially the same message, or selling/promoting some product (even if it is NLP related). Also note: this is not neuro-linguistic programming. That is a kind of psychology and is completely unrelated to this group.
