(I still think two categories might be sufficient: entry and experienced, with resumes
not being allowed in those two, but recruiters allowed. But I see the value of more
specific categories:)

THIS IS TOO COMPLICATED! Not all posted jobs will always be computer jobs. Why not:  

      m.j.entry (for all jobs requiring less than 2 years experience)
      m.j.computers   (all directly computer-related jobs in HW, SW, tech support)
      m.j.admin (other professional, management & administrative openings)
      m.j.technical (all other technical & scientific jobs not directly computers)
      m.j.other (all jobs not otherwise categorized)

Most of the postings would probably end up in computer anyhow. Stuff like computer
animation and technical writing jobs could be posted in technical and cross-posted
in computers and other if the person posting wanted to. Botanists and chemists likewise
could post in technical. Total Quality trainers could post in admin. SW Development
Manager jobs could be posted in computers and cross-posted in admin. Marketing could
be posted in admin and cross-posted in other (or technical or computers if they were
for marketing in those areas). Simplified, yet still categorized.

(Obviously being irreverent, facetious, sarcastic, funny, etc. here)
 
If you really want subcategories, you could then create sub-subcategories:

     m.j.entry.computers, m.j.entry.technical, etc.
     m.j.computers.hardware, m.j.computers.networks, m.j.computers.database, etc.
     m.j.admin.managers, m.j.admin.academic, m.j.admin.trainers, m.j. admin.marketing, etc.
     m.j.technical.writers, m.j.technical.chemical, m.j.technical.manufacturing, etc.
     m.j.other.clerical, m.j.other.artists, m.j.other.nannies, etc.

But this would be silly and picky! (But appropriate for people who insist on filing
every piece of paper in a very specialized file folder instead of in a general category,
and who make databases for everything instead of making a general database and sorting
for your desired category. Anal retentives?)
