VIRTUAL EFFECT

By registering to participate in the 2010 MABF Broadcast Media Career & Networking Fairs, your station will also receive one Virtual Career Fair booth located on this site at www.michiganbroadcastcareers.com at no additional cost. This site will allow only Career Fair participating stations to post job openings along with a logo and link to your website. All postings must include contact information for interested applicants to send resumes and demos. If your station does not have current openings but would still like to receive resumes/demos for future openings, please indicate that on the registration form.

Please email MABF all postings with contact information that you would like included in your virtual career fair booth by September 9 and include a logo and website address.

EEO OUTREACH

This program may provide you with the basis to claim a "menu option" outreach initiatives credit under the FCC's EEO regulations. Specifically, one station representative in attendance must have hiring responsibilities at all of the stations represented. You should consult with your communications counsel or call MAB’s Washington Attorney David Oxenford to be sure. Please submit to the MAB Foundation copies of the station’s affidavits concerning airing Career Fair promotion. This information will be needed as we prepare the official EEO letter for each station participant.

The MABF will present all participants with an official letter that you may wish to place in your EEO records along with other relevant materials such as PSAs, affidavits, promotional letters, etc.
