Employment Opportunities

Frequently LASACT hears from employers who are looking for counselors to fill job vacancies. As these come in, we will post them here. Check frequently for opportunities that you might be interested in. Positions will remain posted on this page for two months or until we are notified that they have been filled sooner than that.

In addition, we can now post information for members who are looking for jobs. Send us a BRIEF resume -- no more than two pages -- and we'll post it in PDF format for you for two months or until you notify us to remove it, whichever comes first. We hope this new, free service will help our members locate the kind of employment they're looking for.
