As of May 16, 2019 all NWA job posts shared on the website and via social media channels must meet the NWA Policy for Acceptable Job Postings.

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.
