The American Association of Teachers of German advocates setting up local and regional Placement Information Centers (PICs) to provide help for members of the profession, cooperate with potential school and business employers and expand the bilingual job market. A PIC should concentrate on full- or part-time public school teaching positions, bilingual commercial positions and part-time community college or university jobs not covered by MLA Job Lists. This manual outlines PIC establishment procedures; use of standard bibliographical, job description and administrative forms; organizing applicant files; cooperation among teachers; use and sources of publicity for placement information; procedures to follow in contacting exployers and applicants when a position is open; and budget concerns. Supplements include sample forms of resumes, letters to potential employers and job seekers, and job description forms. A list of useful addresses for study or teaching abroad is also appended. (CK)
