What
is the Jobs Abroad Bulletin?
The Jobs
Abroad Bulletin (JAB) is a website newsletter containing
classified recruitment ads for people looking for mostly short
term work abroad, volunteer work or to take a gap year. Up until June 2008 JAB was sent by email to over 55,000 subscribers.
For a sample
issue please see the archive: www.jobsabroadbulletin.co.uk/jabarchive.shtml
How
much does it cost to post a job to the Jobs Abroad Bulletin?
Nothing, it is free.
Why
free?
We started JAB to help promote our main website the Overseas Job Centre -
it has done the job well. And as the Overseas Job Centre has publicised JAB
we've built up a nice upward spiraling number of readers at
minimal cost to ourselves for both publications. Secondly,
JAB is only as good as the job vacancies it carries and we
don't want to place obstacles in the way of employers (particularly
small organisations).
How
often do you publish JAB?
Once a month.
When
do you publish JAB?
It varies, but is usually around the first week of the month. The
deadline for advertisements is usually the previous Friday.
In
what format do you accept ads?
JAB is displayed as text only and we only accept text ads.
Is
there a word limit to my job post?
Yes, 250 words, though we are pretty lenient about the issue.
Can
I post more than one advertisement?
Yes, we'll accept as many relevant ads that we have room for.
Can
I post ads to more than one issue?
Yes, advertisements may be resubmitted to us for inclusion in following issues.
What
type of job ads do you accept?
We
use the following categories of work as headings in JAB: Tourism,
Hospitality & Leisure; Teaching & TEFL; Nursing, Care Work & Childcare; Voluntary Work
& Gap Year; Other Work.
Can
I reserve the top advertisement?
Yes,
once you have posted a vacancy to the Jobs Abroad Bulletin,
we provide options to upgrade your advertisement to the Job
of the Month.
Who
reads JAB?
Our core readership is British or European, and aged between
18 and 30, though a significant number are from the US, Canada,
Australia and New Zealand. Many are based in their home country,
while others are already overseas.
My
government only allows certain nationalities with certain
bits of official paper to work in certain jobs in my country.
Should I mention this in my advertisement?
We
have an international readership. If,
for instance, you are only able to accept applications from
EU nationals then we strongly recommend that you state this
to avoid unwanted and useless applications. Or try "We
cannot help with work visas or permits for non X nationals."
Do
you accept and display work from home ads?
Sorry, we don't. We do not feel they are relevant to a readership
intent on finding work far away from home in another country.
We'd
like to say thank you for using your free services. Can we link to JAB from our website?
Yes please. We would appreciate a link to us if
you have a website with a links page.
