Viewing Job Listings
[Updated: August, 2010]
The single most popular search that brings readers to Alumni Futures is "alumni director job."
With increasing traffic from job seekers, I now list educational advancement positions in a more systematic way.
Rather than post individual jobs as blog posts (since many readers don't want to see job listings), I have set up a separate page to deliver advancement job openings from around the web. You can access it via the "Jobs" link at the top of each page on the web site, via the Positions in Advancement listing in the web site's left navigation column, or simply via this direct URL:
http://jobs.alumnifutures.com/
Posting Your Own Job Openings
This page also allows recruiters and hiring managers to post their own job openings for Alumni Futures' readers.
If you post a job by clicking the big red POST A JOB button at the top of that page (or below this paragraph), your job opening will always appear at the very top of the job listings page. This is one way of rewarding those who post their positions via Alumni Futures, by giving greater visibility to their posting, compared with listings from around the web. Click the button to post a position now, or just to see how you can do so:
As it says, the fee for posting a job opening is $149 for a 60 day listing. Periodically I'll highlight recent postings briefly via Twitter and the Alumni Futures Facebook page.
How many people will see your posting?
As of August, 2010 Alumni Futures has
- 1,650 subscribers via e-mail and RSS;
- 943 followers on Twitter; and
- 370 fans on Facebook
Searches via Google and other services provide a lot of web traffic. For example:
In the last 60 days 4,532 unique visitors viewed 10,551 pages on the Alumni Futures web site. And more to the point, almost all visitors to the site are advancement professionals and those in directly related fields (including fundraising, communications and marketing in education and other non-profits).
I hope the service proves useful. Questions? Suggestions? Email me: [email protected].
