Fees
The NACC charges a service fee for posting a Position Available ad. The minimum service fee is $300 (net) for up to 100 words. Over that, each additional group of words up to 25 is another $25. There is also no reduction in the fee if there is a request to run the ad for less than 60 days or if your job is filled at any point before the end of the ad’s run. If this happens we are happy to take down your ad but we are not able to refund fees due to your ad working for you.

Deadlines
The scheduled weekly post date is Thursday.¹ Submitted ads must be received and finalized² by 12 noon CST each Thursday in order to be included in the weekly update. Submissions received or finalized after this deadline may not be posted until the next update.
¹ Exceptions to this rule include weeks where Thursday is a holiday, unscheduled absence (sick day) of the NACC Webmaster, and circumstances beyond our control (a regional power or internet outage, for example).
