FAQs

If you’d like to advertise a new job vacancy under Current Vacancies or are looking to advertise yourself in the Work Wanted section, simply read the instructions below first.

What do I do?

It’s easy! Complete the online form to Place an Ad.

How much does it cost for me to place an ad in the Current Vacancy section?

If you want to advertise a vacancy within your company, there is a small one-off charge for this service. Marketing Association Members are charged only $85+GST per position, and Non Members are charged $130+GST per position. Once the Marketing Association has checked your submission, you’ll be advised via email and your new vacancy will be advertised straight away. Please have a purchase order number or your credit cards details ready as you’ll be invoiced for the set-up charge.

How much does it cost for me to advertise my availability in the Work Wanted section?

This is a free service.

Yes. Recruitment Agencies who are corporate members of the Marketing Association can advertise all of their Current Vacancy listings for their clients at the Marketing Association member rate of $85+GST. For more information on Marketing Association membership, click here.

All other Recruitment Agencies can place a Current Vacancy advertisement but the cost is dependant on whether the client is a Marketing Association member or not. If you want to know the rate for your client before booking the advertisement, contact us.

Can I add my company's logo to our Current Vacancy advertisement?

If you’d like your company logo included, please email it to us as either a GIF or JPEG file. Please keep it to less than 20Kb and no more than 480 pixels wide OR 200 pixels high. There’s no extra cost for your logo to be included.

What headings should I use in my Current Vacancy advertisement?

I suggest you include the following headings in your submission to ensure all information is clear:

• Company Background
• Responsibilities
• Required Skills
• Education/Experience
• Salary Range

How long is my advertisement kept on the Marketing Association website?

Unless otherwise notified, your advertisement will be listed on the Marketing Association website for two (2) months. If you would like your advertisement to be removed sooner or extended beyond this, contact us at the Marketing Association.

What information should I put into my Work Wanted advertisement?

I suggest you include the following information in your listing to ensure all information is clear:

The subject line is important - you have to catch people’s attention with it:

• "Experienced marketing database specialist wants BIG company"
• "Creative Director wants work" (that’ll do the trick since you’re in hot demand!)
• "Marketing Grad Wants Intro into DM"

Clearly state what type of role you’re looking for and what type of company

• "Senior Product/Brand Manager for Top 200 Corporate"
• "Direct Marketing Manager in mid-sized Financial Services co"
• "Senior Account Manager in Wgtn based Agency - want big $$ too"

Provide brief details about your skills and experience

• Most recent/important/relevant first
• Highlight your achievements (don’t just list your responsibilities)

Have a current CV ready to email out, and send it as soon as requested

• Try and avoid adding your entire CV into your listing
• Instead, add some enticing information about yourself that makes you 'STAND OUT'

Use bullet points - it makes your personal information stand out

Provide at least one way to get in contact with you - email is best, include mobile number too.

• If you don’t want to be identified (ie you’re still working for someone) I suggest you create a temporary hotmail (or other free email) address.
• If you have an email address like sexybabe@hotmail.com, it doesn't reflect on you well so it may be better to set up another temporary email address for the term of the listing.
• Please have your email address (which you check regularly) be a real address

State when you can start

• "Available now"
• "Must give 4 weeks notice"

If you’re currently based overseas also state if you can legally work in New Zealand - ie. have work permit
