If you would like your ad to appear on a network outside of this digest you will need to contact the editors of that network. Remember that all job ads posted to our networks must first be posted in the Job Guide.

A: Most likely this means that your job was either approved for posting or that your payment was received.
Q: Where can I write to have changes made to my ad?
