SJS Departmental Management Page Open jobs are listed under Taking Applications Closed jobs are listed under Not Taking Applications Regardless of number of open or filled positions
SJS Edit Job Job status information: Please regularly update Open Positions, Filled Positions, and Taking/Not taking applications Automatic posting information: Erase Posting start date and Posting end date when position closes Need open and filled positions updated for recording keeping purposes Data compared with pay records in Data Warehouse Taking applications = job open Not Taking application = job closed Posting Dates Caution Also when a position closes, good idea to type a note that positions has been filled in caps into “How to apply” field At this time, students may query closed jobs to see what kinds of jobs are available However this means you may be contacted regarding a job that is filled Discussions are ongoing to eliminate this feature
