Help Me Find a Job!

"How do I look for a job?"

JobsCity.NET offers a lot of ways to search for work on-line.

JOB SEARCH is for those who know exactly what kind of job they are looking for. Type in keywords that describe your job preferences, it may be the name of the company, location, or type of industry. Filling up the forms, such as, City, Education, Title, Industry, Experience, Salary, etc., will derive more specific results. It might be advisable to start with a broad search and if there are too many matching results, go back and narrow your search with more criteria.

BROWSE JOB is an easy to use point-and-click style job search. It's so easy we don't even have to tell you how to do it.

COMPANY PROFILE gives you two (2) options to search, Country search and Company search. Company search is a faster way to search if you already have a company name in mind. But for the first option, select a country from which to find a profile. If there are many companies listed in that country you will be brought to a page of Alphabetical links. Click on the initial letter of the company you have in mind, and choose the company link you wish to view. The company's profile will be displayed along with the number of jobs that company has posted in JobsCity.NET. Click "view all" to see all the active job postings of the company.

Search Tip: Use specific keyword/s that will help distinguish resumes from the others.

"I get the "The query contained only ignore words" message"

In order to minimize clutter in the database, we have developed a list of frequenty used words we believe should not be searchable. A resume can contain about 500-800 words, but only about 20% of those words can mean something or can be searchable. For example, words like 'the', 'because', 'from' are definitely ignored because they are very common and can occur 20 times in one resume. These words cannot help distinguish resumes from the others. We advice that your queries be more specific like, 'oracle','html','tourism',etc.

"Who can view my resume?" / "How will employers find my resume?"

Under the Administration tools, the Privacy Options give you control how confidential or how viewable your resume you would like it to be. You are given instructions on this page how to adjust your preferences who to block or how to let your resume be viewable accordingly.

"How do I monitor statistics of my resume being viewed by employers?"

"How do I apply for a job"

After browsing and finding a job position that you know you want, we have provided a link at the bottom of that web page "For LISTED CONTACT INFORMATION or to APPLY for this job". You can click on the link and you will be sent to the application page where your cover letter and resume has been automatically pasted.

Help me with my Resume!

"What is a cover letter?"

COVER LETTER is the prospective employer's first look on you. It is a one-page document that goes with your resume that contains introduction of yourself, the job you are applying for and, or contact information for an interview to a certain employer. It is equally important that you give information of your professional background that highlights your skills, strengths and convictions that makes you stand out among the rest of other applicants.

"What are the blue and red bar graph beside my Edit Resume?"

These bars are referred to as the Status Bars. The Status Bars on your Home Page helps you complete your Online Resume. The fields that count towards a complete resume are the ones employers are most interested in. The blue bar marks these fields. So the more you work towards 100% the better your resume will look to those who can lead you to the perfect job. You don't have to rush just to have a fully completed resume. The most important aspect is to create a resume that accurately describes your talents and your experiences, even if it takes a little more time to gather the information.

When you have a 100% completed resume the "status" bars will disappear from your Home Page.

"What does the red font and blue stars on some asked data mean?"

There are some asked data in the site that you will see in red fonts and sometimes with a blue star beside it. The red font means the blank form is necessary to be filled up and submission would not be completed successfully unless information has been provided. If the red font means asked data is required, the blue star on the other hand means, asked data is recommended to be answered. These blue stars are indicators of the ratings of the bar graphs explained previously. ( See blue and bar graph info.)

"How do I create an on-line resume?"

Creating an online resume is very easy. Just go to Resume Online under Resume tools. Click the button "Public" and it will give you a URL that links directly to your resume which you can use for your own distribution or publication.

"How do I fix the formatting of my resume?

Resume allowed limit is 8000 characters maximum. There is no default format for the resume on-line. A suggestion of wisely using comma's, semicolons, spaces and capitalizations are recommended.

JobsCity.NET gives job seekers a maximum of 3 searchable skills only. We suggest that you list the top 3 best skills you have that you want to be searchable via our Skill Search. You may have more than 3 skills in all you want make known, so we do recommend that you include them on your pasted resume. Companies will still be able to search you out using the different advanced search engines of JobsCity.NET, ie, keyword/advance keyword search.

"Can I block certain companies (like my employer) from seeing my resume?"

Certainly! Click on the link "Privacy Options" under Administration tools. Enter the names or subset of words of the companies you want to block. Companies that are blocked will not be able to see your resume. For example, "acme" will block "Acme Company" and "AcmeTech Co." If you do not want your current employer to know that you are looking for another job, it is highly recommended that you block them.

"How do I control my contact information?"

You are given various ways of controlling your contact information. Go to the "Privacy Option" link under the Administration tools, and find the "Contact Information Control" and "Contact Method". By default all your contact information is hidden. You can control personally identifiable information by manipulating the items you want visible and the contact method you prefer.
