What is The Academe A-List and how will it help my job search and my career?

The Academe A-List is the brand new free weekly work-and-lifestyles newsletter published by academicjobs.net. Every week, the A-List will be emailed to thousands of job seekers, recruiters, and higher education professionals. It will feature a list of top job openings at colleges and universities, and a list of feaured job seekers. It will also feature lifestyle lists including the Gadget List (helpful electronic items that make life in academe better, including the latest cell phones, laptop computers, and more); the Travel List (best places to visit and relax when not you're not working in academe) and the Health List (strategies we all can use to reduce workplace stress and live healthier lives). We know that you are busy and keeping up with all of those things would be difficult to do. The A-List will do the all work for you. We find out which people, jobs, and trends are hot and creating a buzz. And then deliver it right to your email in-box every week for free.

Is there a fee to have my bio and photo featured on the front page of academicjobs.net?

academicjobs.net is free for job seekers and there is no charge to have your photo and bio featured on our front page. If you would like to be featured on our front page please email us at jobseekers@academicjobs.net.

Your website can definitely help me with my job search, but I don't want it to be known that I am looking for a job. Will you put my photo and bio on the front page without my permission?
No. We will only include you as a featured job seeker if we have your written permission to do so. We will not randomly select job seekers and put them on the front page. Also, you can rest assured that all information you provide us with when signing up for AcademicJobs will be kept confidential and secure.

If I use academicjobs.net to create my resume online, will it be seen by every employer who looks in your Resume Database?

No. When you create your resume on academicjobs.net you can check a box that will make sure your resume is not made public for employers to see. You have control and can decide which employers will see your resume. When you apply for an opening through our site, you can email your resume to the employers of your choice.

The featured bios on the front page are a great idea. Who is best suited to be featured there and how do you choose who is shown there?

To start, we will do it on a first-come, first-served basis. As we get more and more job seekers who want us to feature their bios, we will have to choose which eight will be featured. We will aim to have the eight featured profiles represent a diverse mix of job candidates of all ages and from all levels and areas of academe.

Is there a fee to view the AcademicJobs Video Institutional Profiles?

Watching the Employer Video Profiles on AcademicJobs is free. You will be able to view thousands of videos about the schools you want to work for, and there is no viewing fee. We encourage you to share videos with your friends and family. Because if you are considering working at a particular college, your friends and family members will likely want to know more about the school also. When your family and friends view our videos, it is free for them also.

Is there a fee to search positions or to create a job seeker account?

Creating and using your MyAcademicJobs account is free. And searching all jobs on our site is free also.
