Resume
Q1. How do I post my resume?
A: Simply go to Post Resume on the Home Page and this
system will take you through the process. When you post
your Resume for the first time, your member account is
automatically created. Login with your Username and Password
to enter My cutjobs where you can edit your resume or
post a total of five resumes (that match different job
requirements).
Q2. Does it cost
to post my resume?
A: This service is currently provided free of charge to
Job Seekers.
Q3. What are the levels of confidentiality that I can
have for my resume?
A: You can have several different levels of Confidentiality
Shields placed. These Shields are applied only to your
current active resume. You can change these settings any
time by going to Confidentiality Settings in your account.
1. Shield Free - all information in your resume
is available to employers. This is your default setting.
2. Contact Shield - You also have the option of making
only specific information public (i.e. name, address,
phone number, email address). Employers will be able to
contact you by routing an email through us that we forward
to your email address. It's your choice to contact the
employer.
3. Company Shield - this works in two ways - you can opt
to hide your current employer or/and Block company's who
you don't want to see your resume.
4. Total Shield - you can remove your resume
from the searchable database by selecting Total Shield.
However, your resume still remains in our database. You
can still send it to the employers you choose by clicking
the Apply option which appears at the bottom of a job
description. Deactivating your resume is a good option
if you want to apply to a specific position without being
contacted by other employers who have found your resume
online

Applying
Online
Q1. What happens when I apply
online?
A: When you see a job that you would like to apply to,
you can click the Apply link at the bottom of the job.
You can log into your account if you were not previously
logged in. Once you are logged in, if you have one or
more Resumes, you will have a choice of which Resume to
send. Likewise, if you have any cover letters stored,

of times your resume has been viewed by employers who
pulled your resume off the searchable database.

employers have expressed their desire to remain anonymous
and we honor this request. The employers will contact
you if your qualifications meet their needs .

Resume when I Apply Online?
A: Once you successfully applied to a position, it will
be listed in your My Applications section in your account.
You will also receive an acknowledgement email from the
Employer as well as from the cutjobs' system .
Job
Search
Q1. Quick Search, Smart Search,
Power Search - why should I go for one rather than the
other?
A: In case you are looking for a broad range of Jobs then
go for the Quick search. If you are looking for a job
within a specific Functional area and Job Role then Smart
Search will give you the best results. A Power Search
is used when you need to precisely target a job by specifying
a number of search criteria .
Q2.
Should I fill in the Keyword field in the search criteria
page?
A: It is recommended that you always fill in this field.
Entering keywords as part of your search will result in
links to jobs containing those words in their descriptions
or profile appearing on your results page. Keywords can
be anything including job title or skill, the name of
an industry or company, or a location. An Example: programmer,
SAP,Chennai .
Q3. How do I save my job search as a search agent?
A: When you do a job search, you can save that specific
search as an agent if you are logged in. Enter a name
in Save the search as by which you can later identify
and run this search. This saves you time the next time
you need to search jobs having the same criteria. You
can save up to five searches.
Job
Alerts
Q1. What is a JobPrompt?
A: JobPrompt takes the hard work out of finding a job.
Why look for jobs when we can do it for you? By setting
up a job alert you can have relevant jobs emailed/SMS
to you every week or every day. All you have to do is
tell us what kind of job you're looking for, and we'll
send you an alert when jobs matching your criteria are
posted. You can even set up more than one JObPrompt so
you can receive emails about different kinds of jobs.
Q2. Can I receive Job Alerts through
Email/SMS?
A: When you save a search, you also have an option to
create a JobPrompt that will alert you about new jobs
posted on our site. You can opt to receive alerts by Email,
SMS or both. Is there any specific day of the week you
would like to receive an alert? You have many options,
which you can explore by clicking on My JobPrompt in the
top navigation bar of your account.
Q3. Can I create more than one JobPrompt?
A: Yes you can save up to 5 JobPrompts. By creating more
than one job alert, you create more chances of finding
the job you're made for. Having multiple JobPrompts allows
you to tailor your alerts to search for different job
titles, in varying locations or within several sectors.
It's also a good idea to give each JobPrompt a unique
and descriptive name so you'll be able to tell them apart
easily. To create an additional job alert, log in with
your username and password then go to My JobPrompt >
New JobPrompt.
