Your Online Submission and Changes
- Enter your ad directly into the online Insertion Form.
- Please ensure it is correct before hitting the "submit" button.
- Contact us using our customer service form if you have difficulty making a change using the Employer Dashboard or if your ad needs to be removed before the end of the listing period.
NOTE: You WILL NOT receive a refund if your ad is removed before the end of the listing period. - Use the provided WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) to edit your content before submission.
Confirmations
An automatic email notification will be sent to the e-mail address used in the login to place the ad. This will inform you that your ad has been submitted successfully and will include a link to a receipt for your credit card payment. You should print out a copy of this receipt for your records.
Tear sheets (or copies) of ads placed online are available only for the length of time an ad is online — 2 or 4 weeks. We encourage all employers to print out a copy of each ad for their records, while the ad is online.
Creating a Jobs Online Account
Everyone is invited to post a position. Nonmembers can create an account that will enable them to post a job.
An account gives you access to the Employer Dashboard, stores your ad confirmation, and is a link to your payment receipt sent to the email address used in the login process.
