Once the SESA has completed this initial review process and
the employer's requirements are approved, it directs the
employer to place an advertisement in a publication which is
likely to attract qualified U.S. workers. This advertisement
should be either for 3 days in a local newspaper of general circulation(including a Sunday, for professional positions) or once in national newspaper or once in an issue of a journal that reaches persons seeking job opportunities in a
particular occupation or profession. The SESA will suggest a
publication in which the position should be advertised. They
will also guide regarding the availability of space in the
magazine/newspaper where it has to be advertised. The SESA
will also open a job order with its Job Service describing
this position.
The advertisement does not have the name of the employers,
but applicants to the job advertisement are directed to send
their resumes to a numbered file at the Department of Labor,
which then forwards them to the employer or the attorney.
The employer should also post a Help Wanted notice
describing the position in a conspicuous location at the
employer's premises for at least 10 consecutive days,
notifying existing employees of the job opportunity. The
location should be such that potentially every employee in
the company can see it. They could be places like mail
delivery area, kitchen/fridge, notice board etc.
Sample Notice of
Filing
Both the advertisement and local job notice must contain the
job title, job salary, complete job description and the
requirements needed to fill the position and they should be
consistent with ETA 750 Part A. Because both the
advertisement and the internal notice must comply precisely
with the DOL's rigid format, lawyer's office will place the
advertisement directly with the appropriate publication and
send the employer a notice, which must be posted, at its
place of business.
