FAQ for Job Seekers

Applying for jobs

• I found a job listing that interests me, how can I apply?
  The details to apply to a position should appear in the job offer.
  There may be a form to fill out or a request for an emailed CV.
• Is my information automatically sent to the recruiter when I apply for a job?
  If you fill out your information as directed on the recruiter's own website, they should be able to receive your details. If you think an error may have occured and you want to verify that they received your information, try contacting them.
• I applied online for a position and I am not sure if it went through because a confirmation was never sent.
  Some recruiters send a confirmation email when you apply for a job, but not all of them do. Since a confirmation is not guaranteed, it does not necessarily mean that your application was not received.
• Does it cost anything to find a job on Careerjet?
  No, it's completely free to search for a job on Careerjet, no matter which of our job seeker services you choose. That includes our search engine, emailed job alerts, or uploading your CV so that recruiters can find you.

How to use Careerjet

• What are keywords?
  Keywords are the words you enter as criteria to narrow down your job search.
  For example: sales representative
• How can I improve my search?
  You can add words to specify your search,
  use (" ") quotation marks for exact word combinations,
  and a (-) minus symbol in front of the word to exclude it from the search.
  For example: "sales representative" -plastics
  for a sales rep job that does not involve plastics.
• How can I use the Careerjet services to find the job that I am looking for?
