Job Connection 2008
Once again, Job Connection at the APA National Planning Conference will provide an excellent opportunity for employers and job candidates to meet.
Job Connection will be located in the Gold Room of Bally's Grand Ballroom. It will be open Sunday, April 27 through Wednesday, April 30 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
From January 31 through April 18, an exclusive web page will be provided to permit advance job advertising and to arrange interviews to be held at the conference.
Employers
Plan to use Job Connection to access your target audience of fully qualified planners for all your available vacancies, from summer internship positions to entry-level, mid-level, and senior positions.
For the bargain price of $100, you will be able to list your ad on the special web page for the entire 12-week pre-conference period or any part of those 12 weeks. You may advertise up to two positions per ad, and each ad may consist of up to 350 words.
You can also reserve interview rooms at the conference for $50 per 90-minute period. Reserve as many 90-minute periods as you need. Interview room/time reservations may be made online only if an ad has been placed on the Job Connection webpage. Interview room/time reservations may be made on-site, depending on availability, on a first-come first-served basis.
Please note: Our pricing structure differs this year from past years. We have uncoupled the fee for online job posting and the fee for interview rooms to allow you to pay only for what you need.
As you know, many job seekers prefer a more formal arrangement for interviewing, and this is the ideal setup! You may also wish to use your 90-minute room assignment in an "open house" fashion, which would allow you to meet interested job seekers and inform them about your agency and job opportunities, without formal interviews.
As of 5:00 p.m., Friday, April 18, neither ad placements nor room reservations will be accepted online. You may stop by the Job Connection area anytime after 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 27, to reserve a room on-site at a cost of $50 for a 90-minute period, payable by credit card or check. Please note, however, that there is no guarantee that rooms will be available on-site.
Both employers and job seekers will be able to use the computers in the Job Connection area to access their own e-mail accounts. In addition, there will be an electronic bulletin board in the Internet Cafe to permit easy communication with other registered conference attendees.
