2008 AIPLA JOB FAIR

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INTERVIEWEES TO REMEMBER
Registration is now open!

There is no fee to participate in the Job Fair as an applicant, however, you must be an AIPLA member in good standing and have paid your 2008-2009 member dues. If you are not currently a member of AIPLA and you qualify for membership, you can join online by going to the Member Center link above.

Applications must be submitted and resumes must be posted online at the AIPLA Career Center NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2008 to participate in this years’ Job Fair.

Employers who are registered for the Job Fair will post their positions online and such job postings will be designated with a Job Fair icon. To be considered for a specific position, we highly recommend applying online for that particular position.

PLEASE NOTE THAT REGISTERING FOR THE JOB FAIR DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE APPLICANT AN INTERVIEW.

Employers will screen the posted resumes and submitted applications and send their interview selections to AIPLA headquarters. If you have been selected for an interview, AIPLA will then prepare an interview schedule NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2008 and send it via email. If you do not hear from AIPLA and receive a schedule BY TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2008, then you have not been selected for an interview. Please bring extra resumes with you to the JOB FAIR.

The Job Fair interview process will be held in person on Saturday, October 25, 2008. Interviews will begin at 11:00 a.m. and continue throughout Saturday afternoon at half-hour intervals until 4:00 p.m., at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C. We encourage AIPLA members selected for interviews to register and attend the Annual Meeting, but attendance at the meeting is not required to participate in the Job Fair. Please click on the Meetings & Events link above, and then click on Stated Meetings for the 2008 Annual Meeting highlights.

Your schedule will not include the location of your interviews. You must check in at the JOB FAIR OFFICE 30 minutes prior to your first interview time to get the locations of your interviews on Saturday, October 25, 2008. The JOB FAIR OFFICE is located in the Washington Room 2, Exhibition Level at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel.

Each interviewer is committed to ten interviews. Even if you have only two or three interviews, it is very important to appear for your scheduled interviews. If you register, are selected for an interview, receive your schedule, and do not show up, you may not be allowed to participate in any future AIPLA Job Fairs. If you must cancel your participation, please do so before October 1, 2008.
