As published in the print edition of CareerXroads 2002

American Advertising Federation
    http://www.aaf.org
American Advertising Federation (AAF) has joined the Community Career Network (Search "jobs"), an internet network of job sites (Boxwood Technology) for industry-specific professional and trade assoc., publications and educational institutions. Recruiters pay $150 for one posting or $500 per month for unlimited postings. Job seekers who apply to individual positions are also asked if they want their resume to be public or kept confidential. Job seeker is advised that it is their responsibility to remove personal info. The association's membership is public something we'll never understand. There is no way to determine how many jobs are really posted on this site. One valuable asset is their annual listing of more than 1500 college internships. This publication is sent to each student chapter and provided via mail for $10 to others. Links to additional internships are provided.

American Assoc. of Critical-Care Nurses
    http://www.aacn.org
American Assoc. of Critical-Care Nurses launched AACN Career Opportunities in April 1998. Employers seeking critical care nurses can post their openings online for $200 for 60 days (over the cost of their journal's print ad). Positions are listed here by title then easily scanned by location, posting date, full time, part time or contract. The association publishes several journals and offers print and online options. Job seekers who are members of this association have access to the freshest job openings ahead of the general public. Recruiters can place ads through Slack, Inc. 800-257-8290 x 249 Kathy Huntley

American Chemical Society - JobSpectrum.org
    http://www.acs.org
The American Chemical Society offers excellent career services for its 163,000 members. Ads from C&E News are listed for members only for an initial 2 weeks. After that they are open for all to see. Recruiters pay $250 to post a job on the site and can search the resume database for $450 per month. Members of ACS can ask a "career consultant" for advice. Over 60 volunteer consultants, all ACS members are available. Resumes can be submitted for feedback as well. Employed members pay $6.60 per line for situations wanted ads with unemployed posting for free. Employers and job seekers are also invited to participate in National or Regional "Employment Clearing Houses" where job interviews are arranged at various conferences. Cost is a few hundred dollars.

American College of Healthcare Executives
    http://www.ache.org
American College of Healthcare Executives has over 30,000 members and great services. This organization has no idea about the value of their database. All resumes are easily accessible...and free. Excellent design allows recruiters to view a summary and drill for details. Jobs can be accessed by members and are free for recruiters to post. A message board with an "ask the expert" feature is an added value. On our visit the topic was: "strategies for recruiting and retaining your nursing staff". If you are an executive seeking employment or an organization seeking talent in this field, this site is a no-brainer.

American Culinary Federation
    http://www.acfchefs.org
If you need to cook up a new approach to finding culinary professionals, the American Culinary Federation charges employers $175 (non-members, 50% off for members) for a 60 day job posting. There is no fee to list a chef position (check the site for which titles are fee or free to list). For those who place ads in the National Culinary Review publication the web is an additional $25. Resumes are date stamped and can be viewed by employers without charge. Hundreds of jobs are posted(for members only) with 750 + resumes available for viewing for free. Members (only) of ACF can post their resume for free (Membership costs $205 per year).

American Fisheries Society
    http://www.fisheries.org/jobs.html
The American Fisheries Society launched their site in March 1999 and maintains openings in research and teaching in the sciences. Members can post positions for fee while outsiders pay $350. Jobs are broken down into BA/BS level (long term positions), professional (MS level), Ph.D., student and temporary opportunities. We especially liked the opportunity for "Gillnet Observers" to spend 1-15 days living aboard a commercial vessel collecting data on sea turtles, pelagic fish and sea birds. All jobs are dated for freshness although some were mighty salty.

American Institute of CPA's
    http://www.aicpa.org/
Confusion reigned when we found that the American Institute of CPAs and it's state society partners were competing with themselves. The AICPA site serves a 330,000-member association...and anyone else who wants to look. New ads that appear in The Journal of Accountancy, the monthly publication of the AICPA, are searchable here by job title. Recruiters pay $80 to post a job for 4 weeks. It is amazing to us that more jobs are not posted on this site. Then we discovered CPA2Biz Career Center (http://www.cpa2biz.com) where recruiters can post a position for $200 for a 30-day run and a resume database that can be accessed for $1,500. Recruiters are automatically sent new resumes that match their positions as they are posted to the site. Only AICPA members can access the jobs. both sites appear to represent the same organization. Go figure.

American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    http://www.aip.org/careersvc
American Institute of Physics (AIP) launched their web site in November 1993. That's like saying you were present at the big bang. Recruiters pay $90 ($18/line, 5 line min.) for 1 month.

Recruiters pay $330 to post a position for 30 days. Career information for students who are considering this field is also available.

Asian American Economic Dev. Enterprises

Site has a resume database that we believe is included in the price (once a job is posted). Some of the openings are only available for AFP members. We wouldn't want to contribute to that last idea.

Soc. for Human Resource Management
    http://www.shrm.org
SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) has a sleek new look and continues to lead the pack as a model for association sites on the web (OK, we are biased). Still, the awards they've received, the results they achieve and their Help Wanted contribution to SHRM's bottom line supports our opinion.
