It is the responsibility of institutions to notify candidates prior to the Annual Meeting in Dallas of their intention to interview an individual at the Annual meeting. The Placement Service will facilitate the scheduling of these pre-arranged interviews, as well as those interviews arranged on-site during the Annual Meeting, by providing private interview rooms and a call board notifying candidates and institutions of interview times. This call board for posting candidate and institutional identifying numbers will be located in the Placement Office. Candidates and institutions are expected to consult this call board on a regular basis. All requests for interview rooms must be made through the Placement Office at the time appointments are requested. The Placement Service reserves the right to extend the interview hours listed in the Annual Meeting program.

Although the American Philological Association and the Archaeological Institute of America are only intermediaries in the recruiting process and do not engage in the actual placement of members, the Director of the Placement Office is ready to serve both institutional representatives and candidates in every way practical during the course of the Annual Meeting. Communications on Placement Service matters should be sent to Renie Plonski, Placement Service Director, American Philological Association, 291 Logan Hall, University of Pennsylvania, 249 S. 36th Street, Philadelphia, PA. 19104-6304.
