Contained in this area are the jobs that you have applied for through the software.

You may also review the application you submitted by clicking the "View" link. After three months time, these applications will automatically be removed from this area by our system.

How can I use keywords to search jobs?

When using a keyword, our search engine looks for the existence of that keyword in the ad description. If it finds that word, it presents that job as one of the matching results. To improve your search, you may use combinations of keywords.

You may use "and" or "or" to help you find the results you want. Placing the word and between keywords will make sure only jobs containing both those keywords are returned as matches. Placing the word or between keywords will return jobs containing either of those keywords.

 

What is a "Saved Search"?

A saved search remembers a search you performed in the past. In the future if you want to run a quick and convenient search again all it takes is clicking the "Run" link next to the saved search you want to run.

Why do some jobs not have an "Apply" link/button?

Some of the jobs listed may not have a link or button that lets you apply through our website. The reason for this is some employers prefer to receive their applications in a different format. For example, some employers may require that you visit their website and apply there; others may only want to receive faxed resumes, etc. To apply for jobs like this, simply follow the instructions in the ad or apply using any contact information provided in the ad. If there is no visible way to apply for a posting, please create a support ticket and someone in our customer service department will assist you.

Why do some job listings not have a link to the company profile?

This may be because the company does not have a profile or because the company decided to remove the link from their posting.

What is a Job Alert?

A Job Alert is an automated search that runs each night (or week). It looks for new job opportunities that have been posted that match your job search criteria.

How do I stop my Job Alert?

To stop your Job Alert, log into your job seeker account, go to the Job Alerts section, in the "My Job Alerts" area click the "Stop" link next to the Alert you want to stop. Its status will then change to "stopped." To delete the Job Alert, click the "Delete" link next to the one you want to permanently delete.

Why doesn't my Job Alert email me any jobs?

There are a number of reasons your Job Alert is not emailing you any jobs. First, it is possible that your Job Alert criteria are too specific and no new jobs have been posted that match your specific search criteria. You may want to try broadening your search criteria. This will increase the odds that a match is found. The second reason is maybe your email provider or your own computer is blocking our emails. Sometimes spam protections are set too strictly and it prevents our emails from getting through. You may need to alter the settings of your privacy firewall software on your computer or contact your email provider to learn more.
