Placement Interview Service APSA Annual Meeting Job Interviews

The Placement Service signup for candidates and employers for the Toronto Annual Meeting is now available on APSA's eJobs.

The Annual Meeting Placement Interview Service helps candidates and employers  determine who's interviewing at the Meeting so they can find and make contact with each other in the months preceeding the meeting.

At the Annual Meeting, APSA provides space and facilities for employers who have eJobs posted to interview candidates at the Meeting. 

The eJobs Annual Meeting Placement Interview Service attracts over 800 candidates and employers.
