AREMA announces the launch of its interactive job board, the Railway Engineering Careers service. With its focus on companies and professionals in the rail industry, the Railway Engineering Careers service offers its members—and the railway industry at large—an easy-to-use and highly targeted resource for online employment connections. “We’re very excited about Railway Engineering Careers, because we know how critical it is for employers in the rail industry to attract first-rate talent with a minimum expenditure of time and resources,” said Mandie Ennis of AREMA. “And it’s important for us to help enable smooth career transitions for those seeking industry jobs.” AREMA developed the Railway Engineering Careers in partnership with Boxwood Technology, Inc., the leading provider of career center services for the association industry. Both members and non-members can use Railway Engineering Careers to reach qualified candidates. Employers can post jobs online, search for qualified candidates based on specific job criteria, and create an online resume agent to e-mail qualified candidates daily. They also benefit from online reporting that provides job activity statistics. For job seekers, Railway Engineering Careers is a free service that provides access to employers and jobs in the railway industry. In addition to posting their resumes, job seekers can browse and view available jobs based on their criteria and save those jobs for later review if they choose. Job seekers can also create a search agent to provide e-mail notifications of jobs that match their criteria. To reach the Railway Engineering Careers service, go to AREMA’s Website, www.arema.org, and click on the Railway Careers Link on the left. Letter ballots currently under review can now be found in your Committee’s section of the AREMA Website at www.arema.org.
