Advertising on NASW-jobs

Ads for one-time freelance assignments may be run for free. All other ads are $150. An example of a one-time freelance assignment is a single magazine article or press release with no promise of additional work. Short-term contract positions and multiple freelance assignments do not qualify for the fee waiver.

All ads should be descriptive but brief — no more than three or four paragraphs — and should be sent in a plain text email message. Please include the job title, employer name, tenure (full-time, part-time, contract or freelance), location if applicable, and contact information. We encourage you to specify a pay range, if possible. Doing so is appreciated by members and may speed the hiring process by deterring responses from those whose fees are outside your budget.

Ads are generally run within one business day after they are received by the cybrarian. They are archived in the members area of the NASW web site for 90 days.

To place an ad, send your copy to the NASW cybrarian with a copy to the NASW Executive Director. Include billing instructions unless the ad is for a one-time freelance assignment as defined above. Ad are visible only to members, but a copy of the posted ad will be sent to you via email.

For fastest service, you may pay securely online with a credit card or a PayPal account (but a PayPal account is NOT required) using the link below. The system will automatically generate a receipt for your records.
