General Information for Job Seekers

How do I enter my information?

Fill out a Placement and Career Center Job Seeker form.  Upon completion, a confirmation will be displayed along with your Job Seeker Key #, which will also be emailed to you. It is required to have the Job Seeker Key # to modify listings.

How long will it take to complete the form?

The process could take at least 30 minutes, depending on how much information is included.  Be sure to click Submit if you plan to leave the form for any period of time.  You can always go back and modify your listing.

What if I need to stop before I’m finished?

The information entered will not be saved until the “Submit” button has been hit. Once submitted you may go back and modify your posting.  If the “Submit Job Seeker Information” has not been pressed, then the process must be started completely over.

What should I do if I make a mistake and want to start over?

If the “Submit” button has not been pressed, go back up and edit the listing. If the “Submit Job Seeker Information” button has already been pressed, you will need to return to the Job Seeker service page and use your Job Seeker key # to "Modify/Delete Information."

How will employers find my information?

During conference, only employers who have registered for the conference and posted a job with the Placement and Career Center will have access to the Job Seeker database. They will be able to email you directly or send messages onsite if the job seeker will be attending conference. They can also print your information and make contact directly.

How do I apply for a position in which I am interested?

When using the Jobline, each position listed has a link provided so that email messages may be sent directly to the contact person.

At conference, messages may also be sent through the automated Placement and Career Center messaging service if the employers will be interviewing at conference. The job information may also be printed so you may contact the employer directly.

Suppose I accept a position before the Placement and Career Center closes at the end of conference. Is there anything I can do to keep employers from contacting me?

Yes. Job seekers’ listing may be deleted at any time from the Placement and Career Center, although some employers may have already downloaded or printed the information.

How can I be sure that my information is being kept confidential?

The online database will allow anyone to view job postings included in the database. But, only registered employers with listed jobs and proper Job Key #’s will be able to review information on job seekers. Job seekers’ information will only be made available to employers with positions listed on the Jobline/Placement and Career Center.

What if I want to use the Placement and Career Center services, but don't want to display my information?

You may choose "Do Not Display" on the Job Seeker form. This will allow you to message with employers, but your information will not be searchable by the employers.

Good luck with your job search!
