ASA Job Bank site down?

[anon]

i havent been able to access the Job Bank since Saturday, it appears the site is still down this morning - anyone able to get to the page?

if not, does anyone know who to contact about this? i need to double check some things before i send off some apps!

I cannot access it either. I believe you need to contact:

Donya Williams at [phone] ext. 315 or email us at [e-mail].

Here is the response I received when I inquired:


Dear XXXXX,

I apologize for the inconvenience. We have had someone working on this problem since we became aware of it this morning. I will let you know as soon as it is working again.

Regards,

Jamie

Your employment website is a perfect metaphor to your activism. When your discipline institutes a Stalinist regime, there will be huge gaps in jobs and services. Death panels will eliminate all who resist. In a few years time, 50-60 million will die in the U.S. from purges, gaps in production, famine, and all the evils sociologists will bring with their goal of collapsing capitalism.

It's still not working for me. Anyone know the latest on this situation?

I received another email this morning about the situation, but it is basically the same as the one yesterday.
How can they let this go on for so long at the time!? THERE ARE DEADLINES NEXT WEEK and we need to have access to the Job Bank!


Thank you for your interest in the ASA online Job Bank. At this time, the website is experiencing technical difficulties and cannot be opened. The ASA apologizes for the inconvenience and is working to have the situation fixed as soon as possible. You will be contacted as soon as the website is back online.



Thank you for your patience.



Regards,



Jamie

Do you really need access to the job bank? I can't think of one ad in the job bank that I haven't seen posted elsewhere (e.g., InsideHigherEd, Indeed, HigherEdJobs), and anything that has been posted there before the site went down was probably posted on this forum as well.

That said, I think ASA has done a horrible job of managing the job bank. I wrote them earlier with a request to be able to filter search results by the application deadline and they just thanked me for the suggestion but didn't change anything.

It's back up. No new jobs there yet. I don't know if it's that bad. It seems better to me than the AEA's list of jobs.
