Employers

Post your open positions on the Job Connection website before the conference. On-site interviewing space will be available upon request.

HOW JOB CONNECTION WORKS

Job Connection has two components:

1. Online Advertising

From March 1 through the conference, Job Connection will host an exclusive webpage for advance job advertising. It is linked to APA's popular jobs service, Jobs Online.

Employers who post an ad on Jobs Online during this time will have the option of listing the same ad on the Job Connection webpage — at no additional cost. This will increase the number of potential candidates who will see the posted vacancy.

2. On-Site Interviewing

Job Connection will set aside space at the conference for employer-arranged interviews. To reserve an interview time and space in Los Angeles, e-mail jobconnection@planning.org by April 12 or stop by Job Connection in the Exhibit Hall during the conference.

Important: Employers are responsible for arranging interviews with job seekers.

Job Seekers

If you are an APA member and plan to attend the conference, visit the Job Connection website to find open positions.

From March 1 through the conference, check the Job Connection webpage to view available jobs. If you find one that interests you, e-mail your resume or inquiry to the employer to request an interview during the conference. Once in Los Angeles, visit Job Connection for new position listings.
