Required elements for submitting a job to NWA:
As of May 16, 2019 NWA has adopted the NWA Policy for Acceptable Job Postings. Please review the policy to learn what required elements are needed for a successful job post. The following three rules must be adhered to for job postings to be shared on the NWA website and through NWA social media channels:
1. NWA will only post jobs, internships, and volunteer positions in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.
2. Positions must have a salary or salary range listed.
3. Unpaid positions are discouraged. If an internship is unpaid then it must adhere to the United States Department of Labor's Internship Programs Under the Fair Labor Standards Act and follow the Society of American Archivists' Best Practices for Internships as a Component of Graduate Archival Education. Volunteer positions must follow the Society of American Archivists' Best Practices for Volunteers in Archives.
If the job post is found to be in violation of the US Labor laws, or is otherwise in violation of professional best practices, the organization will be notified and the job post will be rejected.
Guidelines to help craft a successful job post:
To learn more about what elements to include for a successful job announcement, please read NWA's Guidelines to Help Craft a Successful Job Post. If the job announcement is missing one or more elements, the organization will be notified and publishing of the job announcement on NWA's website will be delayed until a corrected version is received.
Please send official link to the job announcement and closing date (if known) to Colleen Needham.
