Advertisements in Newspapers, Journals, and Other Publications
Employment and Outreach Services has developed some streamlined guidelines to assist you with advertising your vacancy in publications other than the campus website and electronic bulletin. These guidelines include information that need to appear in the advertisement. Please remember that the department must make direct advertising arrangements. Employment and Outreach Consultants/Recruiters are available to work with you in composing the ad and must review and approve all ads prior to publication.
For newspaper advertisements and/or other publications, the department may contact the newspaper source directly or request assistance from an external source such as Job Elephant (415-564-4154) or Dulin Advertising, Inc. (650-367-1474) to coordinate ad placement. If you contact the source directly such as the Sacramento Bee, please ask if UC Davis has an established account to receive any discount rates that may have been established. You will need to provide the advertising source with a department account number for billing purposes. Keep in mind the cost of ad placing is the department's responsibility. Be sure to ask the price of the different type of ads; display vs. line ads as costs vary with the type of ad. Ask for assistance in modifying your advertisement costs.
