Accepted Answer

After logging in, go to your profile page and click on 'Upload Resume'. You can upload files in PDF, DOC, or DOCX format up to 5MB in size. We recommend using a PDF format for the best compatibility. You can also update or replace your resume at any time.

Question 4

How do I search for jobs effectively?

Accepted Answer

Use our advanced search filters to narrow down results by location, salary range, job type (full-time, part-time, contract), experience level, and company size. You can also search by keywords in job titles or descriptions. Save your search criteria to receive email alerts when new matching jobs are posted.

Question 5

Can I apply to multiple jobs at once?

Accepted Answer

While you need to apply to each job individually to ensure your application is tailored appropriately, you can save multiple jobs to your favorites list and apply to them one by one. This allows you to customize your cover letter and application for each specific position.

Question 6

How do I track my job applications?

Accepted Answer

Your 'My Applications' dashboard shows all jobs you've applied to, along with their current status (Applied, Under Review, Interview Scheduled, etc.). You'll also receive email notifications when employers update your application status or send messages.

Question 7

What should I do if I don't hear back from employers?

Accepted Answer

It's normal not to hear back from every application. We recommend following up after 1-2 weeks with a polite email. Continue applying to other positions, and consider reaching out to employers directly through LinkedIn or their company website if the position is particularly interesting to you.

Question 8

How can I make my profile more attractive to employers?

Accepted Answer

Complete all sections of your profile including work experience, education, skills, and a professional summary. Upload a professional photo, add relevant keywords from your industry, and keep your information up to date. Employers can search for candidates, so a complete profile increases your visibility.

Question 9

Can I make my profile private?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you have full control over your profile visibility. You can choose to make your profile searchable by employers, visible only when you apply to jobs, or completely private. You can adjust these settings in your Privacy Settings under Account Settings.

Question 10

How do I change my email or password?

Go to Account Settings from your profile menu. You can update your email address (you'll need to verify the new email) and change your password. For security, you'll need to enter your current password when making these changes.
