Chamber website features new
Help Wanted Page for members
The Chamber of Commerce is offering a
new Help Wanted Page on its website for
use by Chamber members. If your business
is looking for help, the Chamber can help
you locate prospective employees free of
charge. Those looking for employment can
visit the website and view the postings
listed on the Help Wanted Page.
The Chamber was asked by several local
businesses to list available employment on
its website. Those requesting this service
believe there is a need in our community to
bring attention to jobs that are available in
the area. Prospective employers also needed
a venue to promote their current jobs listings.
Chamber members can go to a specific
location on the Chamber’s website to place
their current job listings at www.huntingtoncountychamber.com. Look for Chamber
Info on the navigation bar (in teal below rotating photos at top), click and follow to
Member Login. At Member Login, the User
Name is your email address. The first time
logging in, you must select Forget Your
Username/Password and follow the instructions on the screen to set your personal
password. You will receive an email from
the Chamber to set and confirm a password.
For those uncomfortable with this procedure, the Chamber can perform this service
for you.
Chamber members can add a job posting
by clicking Job Posting (at left) and then on
Add Job Posting (in blue) at the top of the
page. If you do not see Add Job Posting,
you will need to call the Chamber at (260)
356-5300 to set up your account. Continue
by typing in the title of the job that is being
posted. Fill in the description, qualifications, education, skills, etc. for the particular
job. Select the category that the position
will likely fall under. Contact information
will populate instantly, but any missing information can be added.
Once the advertisement is completed, select the dates for publishing. An image or
company logo can also be added. The posting is then submitted electronically to the
Chamber for approval. When the ad is approved, a notice of confirmation will be sent
by email to the inbox of the person submitting the job posting. Only Chamber members can post new job listings.
Those looking for employment do not
have to be a Chamber member to view the
employment listings. The Help Wanted icon
is located on the front page of the Chamber’s website on the right side. By clicking
on the Help Wanted icon, an individual
searching for employment will be taken to
the employment page. Some jobs may be
applied for directly from the employment
listing at the discretion of the employer.
The Chamber is adding the Help Wanted
feature as an added-value service to our
members. We also believe it will be a valuable tool for the community.
For more information or for help getting
started using the Help Wanted feature, email
[email protected] or call
the office at (260) 356-5300. A flier is included in this month’s newsletter with stepby-step instructions on getting started using
Help Wanted.
