Profiles
Profiles are listed in order of those most recently updated, so it's a good idea to update regularly. You don't have to alter any details in your profile, just login, go to Update profile, then click Update at the foot of the profile.
E-mail notification
Please ensure your email address is correctly entered as it is our main means of contacting you.
You will be notified by email as soon as a job is posted that matches the job type and skills you have selected.
Jobs Board
Registered users can view details of jobs posted, contact employers and apply directly for jobs.
To view jobs login and click on Jobs. Clicking on the subject brings up the specific details. You must be logged in to contact employers or apply for a job. Click the link below the job specification to contact employers directly.
Applications and requests for information are sent by e-mail direct to the employer, unless they specify otherwise. You can include a covering letter. All e-mail applications contain a direct link to your profile. If the employer has an online application form you will also find a direct link to this.
PROFILES
Some formatting may be lost when cutting and pasting from a Word version of your profile, so doublecheck the appearance, particularly for apostrophes and hyphens.
To upload a Word version of your profile click on Upload Word. Word profiles are best saved as Rich Text Format beforehand.
To improve the appearance of your profile you can add some basic coding. This will enable you to use bold, underlining and italics.
Here's a simple guide.
You need to omit the spaces - they are only there to make the text visible to you.
You can combine one or more of these. It's quite straightforward, just remember that the coding comes immediately before the text you want altered, and then immediately afterward (the forward slash is vital here).
