-d is for POST submissions. If you type in the first URL into a browser,
you're doing a get. Give that same URL to curl to do the same:

  curl "http://www.vault.com/jobs/jobboard/viewjob.jsp?keyword=&postjob_num=15237331819"

The quotes are needed on some shells to avoid treating ? and & specially.
