I understand that the Job Forum wasn't busy enough to warrant maintaining it, but can someone give me a hint as to any site(s) that
would be identified as a must for any Mac Job applicant?

Mac Jobs that MacNN hears about will probably be posted in News & Advocacy.

Apple hiring info can be found: http://www.apple.com/jobs/

Also, OmniGroup hiring has some interesting fringe benefits:
When we founded this business we had the attitude that we were going to spend a ton of time here, so it should be fun as well as easy to work in. So, we also have these other, less traditional benifits:
  • Omni has a professional chef (and assistant). Dinner is at six-thirty every weeknight. Bring your SO if you like.
  • Omni buys you all the food and drinks you consume while you are working. Even if you go out to eat. Even if you don't think about work as you chew.
  • The NEW Omni office is a huge, cool building with hardwood floors throughout, featuring a full kitchen, audio/visual room, a 900 square foot dining room with a wet bar, and a dedicated game room with two pinball machines, foozball, and air hockey. And some offices, of course.
  • Our office overlooks the famous Burke/Gilman walking-jogging-biking trail, for those of you who enjoy being active or just merely looking at other people being active.
  • Omni has a THX home theater system with LD, VCR, 600-watt amp, and a 60" TV in the a/v room. You should hear those dinos in Jurassic Park.
  • Omni has a 900 gallon saltwater reef aquarium with lots of cool fishies.
  • Omni has several DOS machines for game-playing, with ThrustMaster an CH rudders, throttles, and joysticks, and General Midi music cards hooked up to Bose powered speakers. We also have a Nintendo-64, Sega Saturn, Atari Jaguar, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and a Sega -- not to mention our Apple IIe and Atari 800, for when you absolutely must play a game of Lode Runner or Mule or Star Raiders.
  • Omni buys almost every decent game that comes out.
  • Omni has a full-size vintage Star Wars video arcade game.
  • Omni constantly buys new workstations, or "toys" as we call them. For example, our fastest machines included two Geckos, two Sparcstations, and two Pentiums, as of June 1995. (As of January 1997, we have six Pentium Pro/200s. Clearly the state of the art is no longer advancing quickly enough if we have six identical top-end machines...) Ok, it's November 1998 and now we have a ton of P2-400s and PowerMac G3-300s and better, with Voodoo-2 cards o'plenty. There's no way we can keep this page up to date, but the point is, we like the cutting edge of hardware. All right, now we have seven or so iMacs and a big pile of 400 MHz blue & white G3 machines, plus all that other stuff.
It sure sounds cool...
