Creating job listing
All job postings on WiserEarth are FREE and will not contain any advertising. Job postings will expire automatically after 60 days.
You can create a job listing from your dashboard or from your group. To go to your dashboard, click on your username in the header of WiserEarth pages. And then hover your mouse over the "Contribute" tab and click "Post a Job".

From your group, you need to hover your mouse over the pencil icon in the events module and click "Create a new Job".
Providing general info
You will then be taken to a page where you can fill out the details about the job listing.
First of all, you can specify whether the listing will be editable only by you or also by people other than you. Then you will need to fill in the available fields. Those marked with * are mandatory.
Salary can be something like $18/hr, $20k, or negotiable. Language is the one used to describe the listing.
Setting access privileges
If you want to keep the listing viewable and editable only by certain groups, you need to specify access privileges. Once you made the listing 'public' you can not change it to 'private'.
Tagging with Areas of Focus
Then you will need to tag your listing with WiserEarth's Areas of Focus. This will make your listing more discoverable by other WiserEarth members. There are 379 to choose from and you can tag with up to 10 Areas of Focus. You can browse the list (as shown below) or narrow down by keyword search. Optionally, you can arrange the order of appearance of your Area of Focus list by using the up and down arrows on the right.
Describing the job
Then you will need to fill in some explanation about the job. This can be the job description, requirements and contact details. You can also embed pictures and videos if needs be. For tutorial on editing this section, go here.
Using and promoting the job listing
After clicking Save, you will be taken to your new listing. From here, you can:
- Upload files and photos related to the job listing via the "Files and Photos" tab
- Share your listing with your WiserEarth groups via the "Add to a group" link in the Action box. Please keep in mind that if the listing is 'private' and you add it to semi-private or public groups it will be viewable by everyone on the internet.
- Share your event with friends and people beyond WiserEarth using the ShareThis button. You can share via sms, email, Twitter, Facebook, blog, etc.
- Connect the job listing to your organization listing, related events and other records in WiserEarth using the [Add] link in the Network section. See tutorial.
Editing the listing
If you want to edit your listing, just click on the [Edit] links beside each section. You can also view and revert back to previous versions of the page using the show history feature. To find listings you've created, go to the Network section of your profile page via your dashboard.
