Logging in / Creating an Account
  • If you have created an account previously, simply login with the username & password that you entered when you created your account initially. If you have forgotten your password, use the “I forgot my password” link to have it sent to you.
  • You need a unique username to differentiate your account and restrict access to your information.
  • Your email address is needed when setting up your account, as it will be used by employers contacting you through the system. You are NOT granting permission to release this information in any other fashion.
  • If the “Create an Account” process is reporting that your email address is already in use, you probably created an account previously. Use the “I forgot my password” link to have your username and password sent to you.
Creating Your Profile
  • You will first be taken through the Contact Information page. You must enter your name, but all other fields are optional. It is advisable to complete all fields; many potential employers will utilize the data from this site to populate their internal HR / recruitment databases.
  • The Detailed Profile section contains specific questions about your background. The system does not force you to fill out any of this information. However, employers will have the ability to search for candidates using these same categories. It is in your best interest to answer these questions as completely as possible.
Your Online Resume/CV
  • This application allows you to simply upload your resume/CV document. You should have this document prepared and saved on your computer prior to beginning this process. When you upload your document, we convert it to a .pdf file so that all employers see your resume formatted exactly as you intended it to look.
  • Most document file formats for Windows, Mac and Unix are acceptable, including word processing documents (.doc), rich-text format (.rtf) and plain text files (.txt).
  • You may upload multiple versions of your resume/CV, so the document name serves to distinguish between your resumes. The document name will not be seen by employers.
  • If you upload multiple versions of your resume, you must designate 1 active resume. The active resume will be viewed by employers as they perform candidate searches.
  • In the event that you have somehow lost the original document that was uploaded, you can copy it back onto your computer by clicking on the Download icon.
  • If you discover an error in your resume, or if you wish to enhance your document, make the changes to your original document on your computer. You can then use the Resume/CV Manager utility to upload your new document and overwrite the older version.
Changing Your Account Information
  • You can change your username, password, and email address as needed. All of the same rules apply from the “Create an Account” process.

  • Your email address should be the address that you want employers to use for their contact with you.
