How to Enter Job Opportunities

Rename the PDF file as follows: the name of the file should contain no spaces and be preceded with the post date and a minus (-) sign (entered as YYYY-MM-DD-). For example, suppose the original file was named U of Chicago.pdf and the job will be posted on December 2, 2008. Then the renamed file should be 2008-12-02-UofChicago.pdf.
Then copy it to the Job Attachments folder on your desktop.
( Note that the job attachment folder desktop shortcut is linked using AFS as \\afs\iastate.edu\virtual\wwwstat\WWW\alumni\jobopp\attachments. Department support personnel can create the job attachment folder on your desktop using the Open AFS software ).
Using a web browser, go to StatisticsHomepage>Resources>DataEntry>JobOpportunities and enter your ISU NetID and password.
Add a new entry for this job by selecting the Add Button at the bottom of the page. Fill in the Org, Location (City and/or university), Postdate (enter in YYYY-MM-DD format), Closedate (if none, enter 0000-00-00) and Jobtitle. This information should be contained in the PDF file or in the email message.
For the Attachment box, enter the revised name of the PDF file as described above in the format of YYYY-MM-DD-name.pdf. Then press the Save button at the bottom and it will be added to the alumni and grad student Job Opportunity web page.

If the employer's email does not have an attached .DOC or .PDF, open up MS Word and copy/paste the relevant information from the email to the Word document. Then save the document as a PDF file, using either Adobe Acrobat Professional or Primo PDF.
Finish by following instructions in PDF Job Description Provided as described in Step 1.
