Using the  JOBS  option
      The job listings
    Clicking on the "Jobs" link will bring up the Job Listings page, similar to the one below.

    All institutions and their posted jobs can be listed here. You can presort the list by clicking on the sorting options at the top of the page.

    1. Clicking on a letter in the horizontal alphabet listing directly under the Job Listings header will create a list of only those institutions whose name begins with that letter. Clicking on All (after "Z") will list all institutions, in alphabetic order. Clicking on Marked will list those jobs that you have marked (see #6 below for information on this action), and selecting Applied will list only those jobs that you have applied for.
    2. Clicking on the name of the department will bring up that department's job listing page. The positions will be listed on the department's job listing the same as they are here on the Job Listings page, below the department name.
    3. The individual jobs are listed below the department name. The Apply link at the far right of each job listing will allow you to apply directly for the position. If your cover sheet has not been filled out or is not complete, you will be prompted to fulfill that requirement first when you click on this link.

      If you have already applied for this position, this link will say Applied. If you click on the Applied link, you will get a form that gives you the opportunity to complete any unfinished items on your cover sheet and select or de-select references and other material you had specified.

      You can also withdraw your application here, by clicking on the Withdraw button at the bottom of the form. If you withdraw within two days of making the application, your application will be removed completely from AcademicJobsOnline. If you withdraw after the two-day period, your application will be marked as Withdrawn but will not disappear.

    4. In brackets is the job tag link for each position (e.g., TT1, RAP). Clicking here brings up a page which lists the description and requirements of the position, as well as allowing you to apply to that position, and to submit required portfolio items. A window similar to the one below will come up:

    5. Next to Position Description: is a link to Apply to this position. This link will perform the same action as the Apply link documented in item #3 above. If your cover sheet has not been filled out or is not complete, you will be prompted to fulfill that requirement first when you click on this link.

      If you have already applied for this position, this link will say Applied. If you click on the Applied link, you will get a form that gives you the opportunity to complete any unfinished items on your cover sheet and select or de-select references and other material you had specified.

      You can also withdraw your application here, by clicking on the Withdraw button at the bottom of the form. If you withdraw within two days of making the application, your application will be removed completely from AcademicJobsOnline. If you withdraw after the two-day period, your application will be marked as Withdrawn but will not disappear.

    6. In the section Application Material Required, you will see a list of the application materials required to be submitted, headed by Submit the following item(s) online at this web site. Clicking on the Submit link will bring up the application form which will allow you to submit required materials from your portfolio items. If your cover sheet has not been filled out or is not complete, you will be prompted to fulfill that requirement first.
    7. In the last section on this page, you can create and save a private note about this job. This will be a private note to yourself only; no one else will be able to see it. You will see it when you click on this position the next time and view this page.

      Submitting your application
    If you click on the Apply or the Applied button (detailed in #3 and #5 in the section above), a screen similar to the one below will appear.
