User Agreements

  • Introduction.

    The following three User Agreements are very similar because they are based on the same original document.  However, there are minor differences between each one pertaining to the unique nature of each of the three types of users who will be accessing the JobSeeker Database.

  • APA Members. 

    USER AGREEMENT AND DISCLAIMER

    The JobSeeker Database is designed to be a self-serve system where users can create and edit their own records, and where potential employers can enter their own criteria and generate their own reports. The Help Desk at the National Office (302-831-1181) is available to assist with technical problems but not to assist with data entry or generating reports.

    Use of the JobSeeker Database is a benefit of APA membership. APA members can create and edit their own profiles but they may not search the database.

    The APA JobSeeker Database is not intended to replace or subvert any part of the traditional hiring process. Use of this service to search for potential job candidates requires confirmation that all applicable state and federal employment regulations are being followed.

    The APA JobSeeker Database is designed to give individuals who are on the job market an additional method of promoting themselves to potential employers. It is also designed to give potential employers a means of identifying individuals who may be particularly well-suited for a position, and thereby allow them to inform those individuals about their opening and to invite them to apply if interested. It is not meant to replace the traditional avenues of posting or responding to job listings, but rather to enhance the traditional process.

    This service is intended to be inclusive of all populations and individuals in the philosophical community. The purpose of the JobSeeker Database is most certainly not to give any individual or group of individuals an unfair advantage over anyone else in the job market.

    Use of this service is completely voluntary. All information is kept confidential and is searchable only by departments or companies that have placed an ad in JFP. Please note that none of the information fields in the profile are required.

    The American Philosophical Association assumes no responsibility for the veracity of the information stored by users in this database. Requests for enhancements, bug reports, and any other technical questions or problems should be directed to the Information Resources Coordinator at the National Office.

    Area of Specialization
