PLACEMENT SERVICE<br />
MYCOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA<br />
A t its August, 1984 Council Meeting the <strong>Mycological</strong> <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>America</strong> voted to establish a placement service as a means <strong>of</strong> assisting<br />
mycologists in finding a position or relocating. Dr. Gareth Morgan-<br />
Jones <strong>of</strong> Auburn University volunteered to chair a committee for this<br />
purpose and has been joined by Dr. Melvin S. Fuller <strong>of</strong> the University<br />
<strong>of</strong> Georgia. Included in this newsletter are copies <strong>of</strong> forms to be<br />
filled out by persons seeking jobs and by prospective employers. The<br />
success <strong>of</strong> our efforts is dependent upon mycologists making sure that<br />
the service is aware <strong>of</strong> positions that are open, and our having per-<br />
sons to recommend to prospective employers. A l l mycologists should<br />
join us in making potential employers aware <strong>of</strong> this service and the<br />
contributions that can be made by persons trained in mycology.<br />
A l l files w i l l be retained on a computer disk and we are using a<br />
program that allows the matching <strong>of</strong> prospective employees with positions<br />
that are listed with us. Persons seeking employment w i l l receive<br />
a printout <strong>of</strong> any open positions that match their qualifications.<br />
Prospective employers w i l l receive a printout <strong>of</strong> those persons<br />
on file who meet their- job description. ~ames-<strong>of</strong> persons listing with<br />
the MSA Placement Service -- wi 11 be consideredconfidential - and released<br />
potential employers.<br />
The success <strong>of</strong> this effort is contingent upon our receiving accu-<br />
rate information that honestly describes prospective employees and<br />
open positions. We welcome any suggestions that w i l l better enable us<br />
to bring employers and qualified mycologists together. Please feel<br />
free to Xerox these forms and put them in the hands <strong>of</strong> potential em-<br />
ployers or persons seeking a position.<br />
