I have my Academy ID, but the system still won't let me in. What's up?
The last name or practice name must be entered exactly as it is entered in our database. If the name you have entered does not match what we have in our database, the system will not let you in. Please contact the Service for verification at (847)384-4259.
I can log into the system, but as soon as I make a selection or press a button, I get kicked out. What's the deal?
The errors you are experiencing are most often caused by a browser that does not adequately support the use of 'cookies', which are bits of data that are placed by our web page server onto your computer.
Your username and password are sent back to your computer in the form of these 'cookies', and your continued use of the Placement web pages is allowed because of the presence of these items. If your browser does not support the use of cookies, they can be deleted prematurely, which would cause the behavior you have noticed.
I am an Academy member, but I am not registered with the Service. Can I sill use the On-Line Service?
Yes, if you would like to view Practice Opportunities. Just use your last name and Academy member ID number or personalized password at the Job Seeker Log In screen.
If you would like to view Job Seekers on-line, you must be a registered Placement Service participant.
Is there a fee to participate in the Service?
A one-year online Practice Opportunities listing along with a one-year subscription to Job Seekers cost only $600. If you are seeking employment, the Service is free.
What are all these code numbers? Where can I find a key that explains what they stand for?
The different code numbers stand for different practice types, sub-specialties, and minimum requirements. You can always access the key by clicking on the line with the practice opportunity code or job seekers code you don't understand.
I've signed up for a listing, what happens next?
We will process your listing form and either e-mail or fax a confirmation along with your password to access the online Placement Service. Since our Web site is updated daily, your practice opportunity will be posted online on the next business day.
I'm no longer looking, how do I delete my listing?
