NEW USERS

• If you are a new user, click on ‘ Job Seekers sign up here’ on the left hand side of the screen.
• Create User Name and Password .
  • This must be a unique user name between 4-11 characters or numbers.
  • If you want to use your name as a user name, try your full name or with initials, etc. If you enter ‘Nancy’ as a user name, it is more than likely already being used.
  • The user name and password are case sensitive. Words must be typed in the exact same way each time including spaces, lower case and capital letters. (i.e. NANCYESMITH or nancyesmith or NancyESmith)
• Enter SSN with NO dashes
• Enter birth date with 2-digit month, 2-digit day and 4-digit year with slashes in between dates (Ex. 10/18/1966)

NOTE : Employers CANNOT view your Social Security Number, Birthdate, Race, Disabilities, or other confidential information when viewing your resume. Confidential information is being collected for statistical purposes only and will not affect the services you receive.

REGISTERED USERS

• If you have already registered online, enter your user name and password. Remember this is case sensitive. Words must be typed in the exact same way each time including spaces, lower case and capital letters. (i.e. NANCYESMITH or nancyesmith or NancyESmith).
• If you have forgotten your user name or password, you can reset it by clicking on ‘ Forgot User Name / Password ’ underneath the login box.

NOTE : We do have your user name on your file in our office, if needed, but we do not have access to your password.

ENTERING INFORMATION

• ** Be sure to enter ALL information in the Seeker Info, Employment, Education, Skills and Vet/Misc. tabs ** This will allow you to view referral information ( How to Apply) on jobs you are qualified for. Some employers request that only qualified applicants be allowed to view their referral instructions. If you do not enter all of your information, your name might not come up when either our office or individual employers do a job search.

NOTE : If you click on How to Apply and it states you are not qualified, look at the qualifications you are missing and decide if you meet these qualifications. If you do, you will need to enter this information in your file before you can receive referral instructions.
