I’m trying to paste text into the job description field but the formatting becomes messy. What do I need to do?

If your formatting changes when you paste into the job description field, try copying and pasting your text into Notepad first (this strips the formatting) and then paste that text into the field.

As an employer, can I search for job seekers’ resumes?

Yes, you can search for resumes using the "Quick Resume Search" field in your dashboard. You have the option to search by keyword, degree, and career level.

Why do I need to provide so much information to register as a job seeker/employer?

We ask for a variety of information in order to be able to communicate with job seekers/employers. We also gather important information about you so that we can understand who our clients are (such as levels of education, skills set, job locations, growth in certain industries, etc) which allows us to provide appropriate information and resources to both job seekers and employers.

What if I want information changed in my account that requires an administrator to change?

The administrator can change your information once you have confirmed via email the specific request. This includes disabling an account, removing a user, etc. Email us your requests.

What if I forget my username and/or password?

Please click on the "Forgot Password" link at the homepage to request your username or password (note that the administrator cannot access your password and will send you a new one). When you receive your new password, copy and paste it into the login field to ensure that you can log in.
