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

IMPORTANT: New to the Job Fair?

Once your AIPLA membership is current, you need to create a profile with Job Target, our third party vendor handling the job fair registration. CLICK HERE to register with Job Target by completing the "New Users Create an Account" form (you may need to scroll down a little to see the form). Please provide your AIPLA member number. If you do not have it, please email bdurante@aipla.org or call 703-415-0780.

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

To review the information about the fair, click on the 2008 Job Fair link.  If you have not posted your resume or updated your profile, we recommend you do so as employers will be searching resumes as well as reviewing actual applications.  The more complete information you post, the better off you’ll be.  To update your resume, click on the “Update My Resume” link under Quick Links at the top of the page.  You can also access your resume by clicking on the Resumes/Letters tab.

There are three more boxes on the “My Account” page.  One titled “My Messages” contains messages you may receive from potential employers.

The box titled  “My Job Applications” contains information on any positions for which you’ve submitted an application.

The last box, at the bottom of the page is titled “My Saved Jobs.”  If, when you’re reviewing the job openings, there is a job that you’re interested in considering further, but you aren’t ready to apply for, if you click the “save job” link, any that you click will appear here.

Once you check “My Account” and verify that the “My Career Fair” appears on your screen, and you’ve updated your resume and cover letters, you’re now ready to search for jobs. 

To review the available positions, click on the Job Search tab at the top of the page.  Job Fair positions will be highlighted with the following icon: 

Employers will be posting available positions as they register for the Job Fair.  All applications must be submitted by Friday, September 5, 2008.

We strongly recommend that, while you are registered for the Job Fair you use the Job Alert feature.

To set up a Job Alert, click on the Job Alert tab.  Follow the instructions and you can create a job alert that will notify you daily or weekly if any new positions meeting the criteria you establish are posted. 

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.
