Are the emailed jobs different from the online jobs?

No. The emailed jobs are a summary of the still-available jobs listed online since the previous emailed bulletin. Each job link is retested before being included in the emailed versions to ensure that the job is still being advertised. As some jobs come and go very quickly, the online versions of the bulletins will always have more jobs available on a regular basis.

How do month-to-month subscriptions work?

You may subscribe to any job bulletin for a month at a time.  Subscriptions start on the day you order, and the subscription is processed through a Paypal account.  Your account will be automatically billed on the same date each month until you cancel.

How do I cancel my month-to-month subscription when I'm no longer job-hunting?

Your subscriber account may be maintained at any time by clicking on "Get account help or make changes" at the bottom of the Subscriber Login page.  To go to that page now, click here.

Can I get hardcopies sent to me in the mail?

Not at this time.  Hardcopies were discontinued in June 2004.  For those of you who prefer a hardcopy, both the online and e-mail versions of the bulletin are easily printable.

May I put my school's ID and password on our website?

We understand that the whole point of getting a subscription for your school is to share the information with your students.  You may therefore distribute the ID and password information to your current students in any form that you like, as long as it is discreet and selective to only your current students.  If your website is already somehow password-protected or otherwise encrypted to allow only your students access to the ID and password information, that's fine.  We will happily provide links to the bulletins and logos for your website page upon request.

Are alumni included under my school's subscription?

No.  Your departmental subscription is intended for the use of current students while they are enrolled.  Please contact the publisher if you would like to discuss a discounted rate for your school's alumni.

I just placed an order.  How do I get my ID and password?

The initial order process does require one human step on our end, so it usually takes up to one business day to receive your ID and password via email. 

May I choose my own ID and password?

Sure.  We will automatically assign you a user ID and password, unless you let us know you'd like something in particular.  If you ever want to change along the way, just let us know.

Can I post my resume on your site?

No.  At this time we do not offer a resume-posting service, nor do we act as a middleman between you and your potential employer.  When you are interested in a position, apply directly to the employer listed in the job bulletin.

How do I get my job opening listed in a bulletin?

To specifically advertise a position in a particular job bulletin, please click here and fill out the job ad form.  To send us information about an opening to use at our discretion, please e-mail it to publisher@graduatejobs.com or fax it to 888-870-3069.
