A: Currently, we have over 6 million jobs available on our site. Some of those jobs come from employers that post directly with us. Others come from a "feed." Most job boards that exist (monster, career builder, etc) want exposure to our users. As a result, we provide them an incoming feed so we can provide you with even more jobs! Plus our users do not need to worry about missing out on anything when they switch to us!

A: Two ways, 1. You can contact your career development staff at and refer them to us. 2. You can contact us (via the Contact Us link at the bottom of every page) and give us the school or association name. If you know the name of an administrator in your career services dept that would be helpful.

Q: As a job seeker, what is the advantage of being verified?

A: You are verified by an administrator at your school or association via the free verification system we provided them.
Q: Who do I contact if I am not verified?
