The ACJS Employment Exchange makes available:

1. Printed copies of position announcements and candidate listings in binders for review: The position announcement binders contain all job postings submitted prior to and onsite at the Annual Meeting. Candidate binders are similarly configured with candidate materials. Position and candidate listings will be accepted onsite at the Annual Meeting. All announcements and candidate materials sent in advance of the meeting must be 3-hole punched and sent by hard copy to address below. Electronic submissions will not be accepted.  The Position Applicant Form and Position Posting Form can be found on the ACJS website at:  http://www.acjs.org/pubs/167_668_2915.cfm

2. Interview/discussion area with a sign-up board: Tables and chairs that institutions and candidates can use for employment-related discussions will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Institutions may wish to consider bringing a tabletop placard to make it easier for candidates to locate representatives. Institutions also are advised to determine in advance their interview/discussion schedule (i.e., who will be available on what days at what times). Interview/discussion sign-up sheets will be made available for posting, and this operation works on self-service basis. Candidates who are looking for a position are advised to bring sufficient copies of their vitae and other related materials 3-hole punched and ready for distribution.

3. "Tips for a Successful Job Interview":  On Thursday March 15, 2012 at 9:30 a.m., Jim Ruiz, Associate Professor of Criminal Justice—Penn State Harrisburg will make a presentation entitled “Tips for a Successful Job Interview.” This is a MUST for all those who are or will be soon entering the job market.

4. A Self-Service Message Exchange Board:  To facilitate communication between prospective employers and job candidates, materials for to a self-service message are made available. Candidates and institutions should check the board regularly. Also, since there is no way to insure that messages will be received or delivered, institutions should consider including contact information for representatives (e.g., name and hotel) on the interview/discussion sign-up sheets.

Costs:

There is no charge for position announcements or candidate services.

Deadline for position announcements and candidate materials:

All position announcements and candidate materials must be three-hole punched to permit ease of placement into the folders. Electronic submission will not be accepted. Position announcements and candidate listings submitted prior to the Annual Meeting should be received by February 9, 2012. Send all materials to:
