My account: Profile
To be entered into our candidate database and allow recruiters to find you for their jobs, you need to complete a Jobseeker Profile. Click on the 'Edit profile' button in 'My account'. The purpose of this questionnaire is to create a file of information on you, that you control, and that recruiters can search. Once you have completed the form, you can decide how much of this information you want recruiters to be able to see.
Personal details
CV - Your CV must be in MS Word format. Please make sure it is not password protected. Click the 'Browse...' button and follow the prompts to locate your CV, for example it may be saved on your home PC. Or you can type its location in the My CV box. If, at a later date, you want to update your CV with a new version you can do so by clicking the 'change' link, and repeat the above process to update the online copy. Your CV needs to be less than 100k in size. If your file size is too big, try copying the content into a blank Word document and re saving.

- If you dont want recruiters to be able to view your jobseeker profile then select the second radio button.
Jobs by Email
'Jobs by Email' (JBE) is a powerful and extremely flexible feature that allows you to specify the sorts of jobs you are interested in and have any that match your criteria emailed to you.
Click on 'Create a new JBE' to create a new email alert. You will be presented with a choice of lists to pick the information you think is most relevant to your search, and a keyword field, in which you can type words to look for, that will help narrow down the search.
Click on 'view sample results' to see current jobs that match your criteria. If you are not happy with the type of jobs that appear you can click 'Back to edit JBE' and change your criteria.
When you are happy with your JBE criteria, click on the 'Activate Jobs by Email' button.
When you return to My account, your JBE alerts will be displayed in the 'Jobs by Email' section. Next to its listing are three buttons:
- 'Turn on' - this is a radio button. Click on it to receive emails (this is the default setting)
- 'Turn off' - this is a radio button. Click on it to stop receiving emails, but save the alert for later use
- 'Delete' - click on this button to completely remove that JBE from your account.
You can have up to three email alerts set up at any one time. You can click on the alert title to see the latest results for that search. You can also specify how you would like to view the emails, in plain text or HTML.
