Career Center

Take Advantage of the On-Site Career Center

     The HFES Career Center will be available during the upcoming HFES Annual Meeting to assist employers and job seekers. The On-Site Career Center hours are Monday, September 27, 1:00 to 6:00 p.m.; Tuesday and Wednesday, September 28 and 29, 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; and Thursday, September 30, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Here you'll find details to plan your job recruitment or search.

Interview Space Still Available

     Limited space is still available to conduct interviews in the On-Site Career Center at the HFES 54th Annual Meeting in San Francisco. Reserving a booth or table enables you to talk to job seekers directly. Download a reservation form or contact HFES by phone (310/394-1811) or e-mail (placement@hfes.org). The scheduling of formal or informal interviews at the Annual Meeting is the sole responsibility of the prospective employer.

Advance Preparation for Interviews
     Employers: post job openings in the online Career Center prior to the Annual Meeting if you plan to conduct interviews. Candidates (members only): post your résumé and search for jobs in the online Career Center or at the Annual Meeting. If you plan to be available for interviews at the Annual Meeting, bring copies of your résumé to the meeting and visit the On-Site Career Center page to see a list of employers conducting interviews during the Annual Meeting. Check back often, as this list will be updated frequently.

New One-Month Option for Employers
     The Career Center is already a great value for employers who want to post job openings and search the résumés of HF/E professionals. But now, in addition to the current options for three-, six-, and 12-month packages, it's possible to post a job in the Career Center or gain access to the database of résumés for one month at reduced prices: It is just $250 for a single, one-month job posting or $350 for one month of unlimited access to the résumé database.

     Compare this with the fees on other online job services: A one-month job posting on Monster.com is $395 for multiple locations, and on CareerBuilder.com it's $419. To search résumés for one month, Monster charges $2,300 and CareerBuilder charges $1,000. The HFES Career Center not only offers a substantial savings over these other services, but you can be sure that you are targeting HF/E professionals exclusively.

     Visit the Online Career Center today and select the options and packages that suit your needs. For more information, contact Carlos de Falla, director of Member Services, at carlos@hfes.org.

Job Notices at the Annual Meeting
     HFES will collect résumés for companies with a job posting in the Career Center but not interviewing at the Annual Meeting. The charge for this service is $150.

     Organizations not interviewing in the Career Center or collecting résumés during the meeting may post a "for information only" job notice at the on-site Career Center for a $75 fee. Job seekers will be directed to send their résumés directly to organizations advertising positions.

     Contact Carlos de Falla, carlos@hfes.org, for more information about any of the opportunities presented above, and we look forward to seeing you in San Francisco.
