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.

PLACEMENT SERVICE AT REGIONAL CONFERENCES
One of the newer features of eJobs is the Placement Interview Service listings of regional conferences. Available regional conferences are listed when you submit a resume or a job listing. Not all regional conferences participate in the service and those that do may implement the Placement Service in various ways. Some offer interview space, some do not. Some provide additional services for candidates and employers. Employers and candidates should contact the sponsoring association DIRECTLY for details about services provided, interview space, and facilities.
