Hints for Job Posting

The PNLA website is run by volunteers.  Thus the time that the webmaster can devote to formatting and correcting received postings is limited.

And of course, job applicants may derive unfavourable impressions of hiring organizations whose postings contain hackneyed phrases, typos, or poor typographical layout.  It's therefore incumbent on the staff member sending the posting to observe a few basic rules.

1. If at all possible, include a deadline for applications — or, at the least, a note to the webmaster as to when the posting should be pulled. In the absence of a firm deadline, postings will remain on the list for four to five weeks.
2. If possible, please send postings in the text of a plain-text email. 
3. If you copy and paste text from a word-processed document into a plain-text email, give the text a once-over to ensure that no bizarre formatting has crept into your document.  Be aware, for example, that asterisks or bullets may come through as question marks or other inappropriate symbols. 
4. Place the job title, name of employer and deadline on separate lines at the beginning of your postings.
5. Be advised that, due to time constraints, the webmaster will not always be able "acknowledge receipt" of submitted postings. New jobs are posted at least once a week and more often volume warrants additional uploads.
6. If your job fills before the posting is deleted from the website, please let the webmaster know and she will remove the posting the same day, if possible.
