Manage your information

Once registered, you can log in to update your personal information or check the status of a previously submitted application. Your Personal Pages contain four main sections:

1. Candidate Profile

There are five subsections within this section:
- Candidate Profile, where you record your work experience, education and relevant skills.
- By default, this section opens on the work experience data entry page. After you make your first entry, click the 'New Entry' button to add information about other jobs you have held.
  
  TIP: If you have had more than one job with the same employer, enter each job separately, describing the specific duties and responsibilities.
  
  To enter education information, select the 'Education' prompt, make your initial entry and click the 'New Entry' button to add more education information.
  
  You may use the 'Attachment' tab to include information like a resume, writing sample or licenses and certifications.
  
  We do not currently use the Talent Warehouse feature of this online application software, so you should not complete the 'Qualifications', 'Desired Job' or 'Desired Location' tabs.
- Data Overview, which allows you to review all profile information you have entered
- Profile release. Please make sure your profile is released so that we may view the experience, education and skills information you have entered in your Candidate Profile.
- Change Interest Group. We do not currently use the Talent Warehouse feature of this online application software, so no action is needed here.
- Delete registration allows you to clear all your personal data from our system, including your user name and password. If you wish to use our online application system at a later date, you will need to re-register.
When prompted to save, click 'Save' or the data you entered will not be retained.

Use the “back” button inside the application window to return to the previous page. Use the 'Start Page' button to return to your Personal Pages (home page).

2. Jobs

Use this section to search for jobs, review the status of an application, or withdraw a previously submitted application. You may use the 'Favorites' to bookmark job postings you may want to apply for at a later time. Note, however, that once a posting has expired, you may no longer apply.

3. Personal Data

Review your Personal Data and Communication Data regularly to ensure you have provided all needed information and that it is up-to-date. This is especially important when it comes to your e-mail address, listed under Communication Data. Our primary method of contacting you will be through e-mail.

4. Personal Settings

This section allows you to set display formats and change your user name. Use the Personal Settings link to set the format that will be used to display dates and decimal numbers.
