If you are wondering whether it is worth it to post your job opening on the
AEOE joblist, read the testimonials below. Our fee for job posting is $40 per job posting, or $75 for an institutional membership and
unlimited job postings for a full year. Compare that to
the cost of other joblist services! Inexpensive and also a great value
- consider it an investment in your program, as you
will
have
a
large
pool
of qualified applicants from which to hire your best staff ever!
(The following are completely unsolicited comments/compliments that employers
using the joblist have made in emails to the webmaster!!)
The joblist is such a great service, and as it is free for members, and
membership is practically nothing (compared to other OE organizations which
shall remain nameless :-) it is really is a gift. Many thanks.
- Debra Weistar, Director, Synergia Learning Ventures
"Thank you! I have already had 3 responses to the Naturalist ad
running. A great big thanks to you. I appreciate being able to not only place
the ad, but getting to do it without paying thousands of dollars to get it
posted. I am grateful for your service. THANK YOU!

job giving a concise summary then a well-formatted full announcement—I’m
very impressed with your web wizardry!"

Institute for Experiential Education
"Help! Inundated in applications, must cut off the flow! Thanks
for posting the temporary educator position for Headlands Institute. We’ve
had a great response and are ready to have the position removed from the
web page. Thanks for keeping the website so current. It is an awesome
tool for recruiting." – Aaron Rich, Headlands
Institute (Yosemite National Institutes)
"I've had responses from as
far away as New Zealand, we had a wonderful naturalist last spring who
had been living in Ireland, and the spring before we picked up a wild and
crazy
guy naturalist from a sailboat in the Caribbean. They were all Americans
finding out about GBOS though AEOE. Occasionally I get applications from
Canada, and our current program director is from Minnesota. I really
don't need to advertise anywhere but AEOE."
"The AEOE site must get lots of attention! New applications continue
to show up for spring, and I hope to select from more applicants
than usual in February. Thanks for the support!"
- Sue Jacox, Great Basin Outdoor
School

with you. So, I am going to ask that you remove our listing, so that we
can get down to hiring someone, not just reading resumes."
