JobCorps Tips
From your feedback and questions, we've created the following list of tips to help you use JobCorps better. If we're missing anything, or you'd like further assistance, email us at .
Posting A Job
Registered employers are permitted to create job postings. The most important part about creating the job is to provide as many details as possible about the time required, compensation and expectations.
Deleting A Job
You can delete a job that you've created, or you can deactivate it. If you plan on posting a similar job in the future, it is best just to deactivate it. It won't show up in any searches and is viewable only to you. This way, you can simply activate it when you're ready to use it. Deleting a job will get rid of it forever. We recommend you deactivate it.
Tagging
One feature of JobCorps allows you to tag your postings with keywords that will alow other users to find them more easily. If you have a job opening for weekday evenings that involves child care and requires a car, you can tag your job with "babysitting, car, evening". Tagging will split up phrases into single words, so stick with single words in your tags.
Resumes
JobCorps currently does not support resume uploading, although it will in the near future. In the meantime, you can post your resume along with your student profile.
Applying for Job
Students may send a note to an employer that has chosen to keep their contact information private. After clicking on "Apply for this Job", a box will appear in which the student can type a note to the employer. After hitting "Apply", it will be emailed to the employer with the student's contact information. Employers may also send notes to students in the same fashion.
Expiration Date
When creating a posting, you're asked to provide a date at which your posting will expire. It is best to choose the same date as when the position needs to be filled. On the date of expiration, the posting will automatically be deactivated. JobCorps Support may deactivate postings that are deemed too old, but only after asking first. If you are having trouble entering a date of expiration into the New Job form, read on. JobCorps 2.0 uses a pop-up calendar for you to select your expiration date. Currently, Internet Explorer is not compatible with this calendar and will not display it. Please use another browser, such as Firefox, Internet Explorer 6, Safari, or other, to use this feature. The site will be updated when a fix is available.
Sponsors and Advertising
Employers are welcome to advertise on JobCorps. Your company logo will be placed in the "Sponsors" panel. Please contact us for pricing and availability.
Creating a New Account
To create a user account on JobCorps, click the "Create an Account" link at the top of the screen. After completing your contact information and hitting "Submit", you may log in to your account using the username and password you just set. If you forget your password, you may reset it by clicking "Forgot my password"
Contacting a Student/Employer
While viewing a posting, click the link "contact this student/employer", in the blue bar at the top of the page. If the student/employer has chosen to reveal their contact information, you will see a phone number and email address with which you can contact them. If they have chosen to keep their information private, you will have the option of sending them a note that we will email to them. Your contact information will be included in that note and they will get back to you.
