JobNews is published in multiple cities and utilizes a unique media blend of print, web, broadcast and job fairs to reach the highest possible number of qualified applicants. JobNews constantly "fine-tunes" web postings, print quantities, distribution type and locations, as well as job fair dates and locations to maximize job exposure for advertisers. DISCLAIMER: This "fine-tuning" process will cause deviations (up or down) from published or advertised "volumes". Seasons of the year, market conditions, special promotions directly impact actual "volumes". Therefore, JobNews cannot guarantee these "volumes" and Advertisers should consider published or advertised "volumes" as estimates.
