Career Trust Service - FAQ
Q: How do I qualify for AFP Career Trust
membership?
- Members: Applicants must have been a full dues paying AFP
member the prior year and agree to remit full dues ($395) once they
become re-employed. This is a one-time only member benefit.
- Non-members: Applicants must currently be unemployed. Career
Trust membership is $75. Once Career Trust members become
re-employed, they agree to establish full dues paying status.
Q: I am a member of The FENG. Can I join AFP for
$75?
A: Members of The FENG who are unemployed may join AFP as a
Career Trust member at the $75 dues amount.
Q: Does Career Trust equal a free year of
membership?
A: Career Trust is designed to suspend the payment of membership
dues (or reduce first year dues for non-members) during a period of
unemployment, for up to one membership year. Career Trust
membership calls for members to remit full dues ($395) once they
become re-employed.
Q: I was not an AFP member last year, but was a member
the year before. I am now unemployed. Am I eligible for the full
dues suspension?
A: Since you were not a member of AFP during the prior year, you
may rejoin AFP for $75 as a Career Trust member.
Q: I was a Career Trust member during a prior year and I
am again unemployed. Am I eligible for Career Trust
membership?
A: No, the Career Trust membership is a one-time only
benefit.
Q: When do Career Trust memberships expire?
A: All AFP memberships, including Career Trust memberships,
expire on December 31 of the calendar year they begin. For example,
if you are a non-member and you join AFP through the Career Trust
in July, your membership will expire on December 31st. Note:
Members joining after March 31st are eligible for a dues credit
toward the following year's dues.
Q: What benefits come with the Career Trust
membership?
A: Members are encouraged to establish a relationship with the
Career Services department and take advantage of the Online Job
Center and Resume Critiquing service. Regular communications are
sent to Career Trust members detailing the numerous benefits of
AFP, special events and career related information. Members also
receive full AFP benefits, including:
- Access to the member only section of the AFP Web site
- Member pricing on all AFP products and services
- Member publications (Online Headlines, and AFP Exchange).
