Dear ASPA Member:
ASPA is pleased to announce the launching of PublicServiceCareers.org. ASPA
has launched the new site in partnership with the Association for Public
Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) and the National Association of
Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA). Our collaboration
has resulted in the development of a new career web site, known as
PublicServiceCareers.org.
The site has been created to strengthen the visibility and identity of the
public service career sector, the public policy and management field, and
professionalism within public affairs and administration among students,
employers, and universities. This new site provides a resource on the web
for ASPA members, which will aid career development at all levels, and
offer the most comprehensive and useful information about careers in the
field.
Features of PublicServiceCareers.org
Employer and job seeker accounts- The new career center requires all users
to create accounts with unique IDs and passwords. These accounts allow
employers to manage their job postings including adding logos, editing
descriptions, and changing expiration dates.
High-tech search functions- Employers can post positions and search resumes
of persons seeking permanent and temporary employment at various levels of
responsibility and training. Automatic alerts are available for newly
posted resumes that match various criteria, and the system allows you to
contact that job seeker to continue interactions directly.
Job seekers can post resumes and search jobs. To protect job seekers,
resumes are posted anonymously and employers can then send email inquiries
to the job seekers to request contact. Additional features include advanced
searches and the ability to sign up for alerts to notify you about new jobs
that match your criteria.
Long-term Development of the Site
Later this year the three partner associations will be adding much more
content to the site pertaining to professional careers at all levels
related to public service. You'll find information on all different types
of jobs at home and abroad; information on degree programs at all levels,
executive education and certificates; job opportunities across the sectors,
MPA and MPP professional degrees, and PhD academic degrees for public
service.
The site will include information on salaries; profiles of individuals in
professional public service; tips for applying and interviewing for public
sector jobs; and links to other organizations in the field, and much more.
ASPA members can continue to post jobs, resumes, and search for jobs on the
ASPA Career Center site. We will be migrating all job postings to the
PublicServiceCareers.org site in January 2007. Look out for an announcement
this winter!
