How to use the Career Center to manage your
  2008 AIPLA Job Fair Registration
Helpful Hints for Employers

 

Once you register for the Job Fair, go to “My Account” in the Career Center. A new box will appear titled “My Career Fairs.”

  • To review the information about the fair, click on the 2008 Job Fair link.
  • You can also view all of the Job Seekers who have registered for the Job Fair by clicking the view attendees link.
  • When your schedule has been set, you will be able to view your schedule using the view schedule link.  AIPL A will set and update the schedule on your behalf.

There are three more boxes on the “My Account” page.  One titled “My Messages” contains any applications submitted for job postings.

The box titled  “My Resume Contacts” contains information on responses from any individuals you contacted using the resume search and contact function. This is a system that you may use for other job postings throughout the year, but will not be used for the Job Fair.

The last box, at the bottom of the page is titled “Credits/Subscriptions.”  Once you register for the Job Fair and submit your payment, the appropriate number of credits will appear, depending on your registration.  If you register for one booth or one hotel suite, you will see “1” credit appear.  If you registered for two booths or suites, you should see “2,” and so on.

Once you check “My Account” and verify that the appropriate Job Credits are posted to your account, you can then post the job for the Job Fair.

You can do so my clicking on the “Post A Job” link located in the “Quick Links” section at the top of the Career Center Page.

On the Post A Job Page, you should see, regardless of the “Type of Job Posting” that a credit amount appears.  This indicates that the job you are posting has already been paid for and you are using the credit available on your account.

Proceed through the Job Posting process, completing each box as you move down the page.

Some helpful tips: 

  • If your job posting has multiple locations, once you identify the first location, you can then select the “Add Location” button to insert additional locations.
  • Under Contact Information, you can post the name of the person an applicant should contact.  That person can be a different person from the individual who will receive and review applications.  That information should be provided in the “Applications” box.
  • You have multiple options for receiving and reviewing applications:
    • You can allow for online applications.  Such applications will appear in your account in your “my message” box.
    • You can also have applications sent to an email address by selecting that check box and inserting an email address.
    • You can have applications go to multiple recipients by clicking the “add recipient” button and putting in additional email addresses.
    • You are able to accept both online applications and have them emailed.

You can then preview your job posting or post it online by clicking the appropriate button.

To improve the content of your job posting, you can provide a “Company Profile” that can include your company’s logo, etc. 

To add a company profile click on the “My Company” tab at the top of the Career Center page, then click
on “Company Profile”.

If you have any questions as you move through the process you can contact customer support at 888.575.WORK(9675) (inside US) or 860.440.0635 (outside US) or you can contact AIPLA headquarters at 703-415-0780.
