Dear friends,
I just got a mail from the attorney that she recd RI(from PBEC) for my case. She sent a mail to my boss who Fwed to me. Most of you have gone through it. Could you please tell me what are the things I should be careful about ? I do not want to take things for granted.
Appreciate your help and good wishes to you all.
Well, if you have a lawyer, she should be doing all this. Otherwise, pretty much follow everything from the RI. First, I'd check your ad at the ajb.org website. (How to find it was discussed earlier in the forum.) Make sure that the info there is OK. If not, bug your lawyer to contact BEC to change it ASAP. BEC's are very slow to respond, so everything has to be done in advance.
Second, you will have to post an ad in a local newspaper of general circulation (by you, I mean your lawyer and/or employer). Be careful how you compose that ad. First, follow everything from the RI. The most important is to include job title, and exact job description as it was filed in form ETA 750 A. I'd do it word to word. This ad will be quite costly, so it won't be nice if BEC makes you to re-advertise because of a small mistake. Some people here suggested that the company name shouldn't necessarily be included in the ad. I don't know. For me, it didn't matter, so we included it. The salary is also very important and should be included. Take the salary exactly from RI. Then, you should also include contact information for BEC, not your employer's. This will be the address and fax number as you see them in RI. Also they require you to instruct potential applicants to reference your case number, so include it as well.
Run this ad for 3 days. BEC suggests that one day could be Sunday. I'm not sure if it's good or bad. So pick days yourself, and don't wait too long.
Well, I'd guess, that is pretty much it. Oh yeah, there's also job posting in the office. But, I'm sure your lawyer can figure that one out -- it's an easy one. After that, good luck and keep your fingures crossed for one month so that not many people respond the ads. At the end of the 30-day period, you should receive Recruitment Report Instructions where BEC will send additional information and resumes of all the people who responded the job posting.
