FAQ's

How do I get access to POP Direct Services?

Department chairs can refer the partner of a current or prospective ladder-rank faculty member and request and authorize POP services by completing the electronic Request for Services Form .  (A pdf form version is available for reference only)

 

Am I guaranteed a job through POP?

POP is not a job placement service and cannot guarantee employment, create positions or give preferential treatment. However, we will assist eligible clients in finding suitable employment in the area and providing important connections and introductions.
