Submitting a Job Ad

To top of page Placing an Ad

Email orders and ad copy to Susan Talmage (312.419.9094 x25); please type "MLA job ad" in the subject line. Ads appear on MLANET for four weeks. Ads are posted weekly on Wednesdays, beginning December 31. After the November/December 2008 MLA News, classified job ads will no longer be in the printed MLA News. See below for information on placing a display ad in the MLA News.

Orders must include the following:
  1. contact name and billing information, including email address for billing (our preferred method of invoicing)
  2. institutional membership status (you must provide your institutional membership ID number to qualify for a discount)
  3. when you expect your ad to appear (see Deadlines)
Important information (Read)
  • All "Positions Available" listings must list a minimum salary; a salary range is preferred.
  • MLA cannot provide quotes; however, you can easily estimate the cost by using the formula below (see Rates). Ad costs are based on word counts as submitted.
  • Copies of online postings are provided only with prior request. You are encouraged to print out and review a copy of your online ad as soon as it appears on MLANET.
  • All ads received will be acknowledged via email. If an acknowledgment is not received, please resubmit the information or contact staff at the email address or phone number listed above.

To top of page Rates

  • As part of their benefits, MLA Institutional Members may place the first 50 words of a “Positions Available” listing free of charge if the ad has a word count of at least 100 words. Each word after the first 50 or each word if the ad is less than 100 words will be charged at a discounted rate of $2.65 per word.

  • "Positions Available" discounts are not available to Individual MLA Members.

  • Ads placed by individual members, nonmembers, employment or advertising agencies, or other third parties are computed at $3.00 per word.

  • New for 2009: Any existing ad may be run again for an additional 4 weeks on MLANET for $100.00.

  • Individual MLA members seeking employment may place a “Position Wanted” listing of up to 100 words free of charge, $1.25 per each word over 100 (nonmember rate: $1.50 per word).

Billing
  • You will be invoiced after the first appearance of your ad. Rerun costs will be included, if applicable.

  • MLA accepts credit card payment. You will be contacted by our Financial and Administration Department prior to invoicing to provide this information.

To top of page Format of Job Ads

  • All job ads are arranged by date of posting, then geographically by state, and then alphabetically by job title.
  • Headings used in job descriptions include Required, Preferred, and Salary.
  • Allowed abbreviations are FTE (full-time equivalent), ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), AAE (affirmative action employer), EOE (equal opportunity employer), and M/F/D/V (minorities, females, people with disabilities, and veterans encouraged to apply). MLA job ads use MM/DD/YY (month/date/year) format.
  • MLA reserves the right to edit for space, clarity, and MLA style.
  • For employers who wish to post a job requesting someone with membership in the Academy of Health Information Professionals, the following phrase should be inserted: "membership in the Academy of Health Information Professionals required/preferred."
