I'd like someone to show me (paid) how to filter 2 views of different content types on a page filtered by a taxonomy term that is shared between the them. Perhaps after the DrupalCamp Ottawa Organization Meeting #4 tonight?
I can meet you with a laptop and fresh install in hand. I'd prefer to do this through the Views UI.
Using an exposed filter on Jobs should filter titles of Resources on the same page.
Applying the filter should also filter resources:
To me, something like the attached filter comparing the tid of each content type should work? (see filter-criteria.jpg)

Have you looked at the Lullabot video series?
Hi mlecha,
I think what you are asking was well described in a Lullabot video for Drupal 6 called learning views. This video may be all you need but as I recall it's in two parts and lasts over two hours...
I see you are using Drupal 7 and while I haven't viewed (no pun intended) the new series, I bet you'll find some intelligent clear direction on what you are looking for with this list of available videos. Best thing about Lullabot is you can pause and replay to your hearts content without feeling like you're not getting it.... ;)

These guys have helped me over so many of the concept issues that are just plain hard to figure out if you don't know what you're supposed to do with views, relationships and taxonomy!
HTH,
Cheers,
Alar

Again D6, and Matt does have a tendancy to go pretty quick :P
Good videos
Thanks for those links alar,
I'm getting close to making this work. I suspect that a "relationship" isn't required at all (despite my post above), as the content types share the same taxonomy.
This posting was really helpful:

My only issue now is that my URL contains arguments in the format ?job_sub_sector_tid=4 rather than /taxonomy/term/4 because I am using an exposed filter.
I think that some PHP snippet might do the trick at making the connection of the two if I use the "Taxonomy term ID from URL" feature when I configure contextual filter.
Still looking for a bit of paid help to sort this out. Sounds like everyone is chasing RFP's or delivering large projects these days!
