Would it be considered copyright/intellectual property infringement if a job was?

Would it be considered copyright/intellectual property infringement if a job was posted on a website and being reposted onto another website from the website it was originally posted on? Any direct link to a governmental clause or from any legitimate source will be really helpful. I really appreciate the help! Thanx a bunch.

1. An ad doesn't qualify; they are public domain, have no copyright, and are not intellectual property, as they don't constitute an "idea" which can be marketed in any way.
2. Boogeywoogey's answer is incorrect. Advertisements (e.g., TV commercials, print ads, radio ads, etc.) certainly can be protected by copyright. Also, "ideas" are not copyrighted. So it's irrelevant to say that "they don't constitute an 'idea' which can be marketed in any way." A job posting may be protected by copyright IF it contains copyrightable (i.e., original) content and IF the copyright hasn't been disclaimed. Obviously, without additional facts, it's impossible to give you an accurate answer.
