Creating a new ‘Job Seeker’ account is an easy one step process. It is recommended that before you click on the ‘Create Account’ button, you write down and remember your chosen ‘user name’ and ‘password’, since you will need it the next time you Login. Upon successfully creating your new account, you are ready to enter your Account Profile and Resume information. In the event that you have forgotten your login information, this feature will assist you by automatically forwarding your valid ‘user name’ and ‘password’ directly to your email address (as you have defined it in your Account Profile). It is important that you fill in your account profile information as accurately as possible. To assist you in doing so, the account profile has been divided into 2 major sections:
Part 1: Personal Information This section allows you to enter you personal and contact details. Please take care in entering your correct email address, for communication purposes. It is here that you can address the issue of confidentiality. By choosing this option, your personal information will be ‘locked’. This means that your personal information (from your name up to and including your email address) will not be accessible to recruiters. Anonymous accounts are referred to by and ‘Identification Code’, which is assigned automatically by the system when the account is first created. If you have chosen to be ‘anonymous’, recruiters will be able to communicate with you only via the CareersOnWeb internal messaging system. You too can use this messaging system to communicate directly with recruiters. In both cases, these recruiters will know you only by your ‘Identification Code’ (e.g. JS11536884).
Note: It is essential that you enter your email account for communication purposes. If you do not already have your own email, then you obtain one from a number of free email services available on the internet. Three such services are:

Keywords: Enter keywords and phrases that best define your skills in your related industry. Each keyword/phrase should be separated with a comma (i.e. keyword1, keyword2, etc.) For instance, a job seeker in the "Computers / Software" industry may enter keywords such as "Visual Basic, C++, Java, Lotus Notes".
Availability: Enter the earliest starting date from which you would be available to start work. By default this date is the date you created your account. However, a student graduating in July of next year would enter his/her date of graduation.
Notice: If you are currently in other employment, and your current employer would require a minimum period of notice (e.g. 15 days or 30 days) before you depart to a new job, then use this space the specify the desired period of notice needed.

When entering your academic qualifications and experience, you should always start with the most recent and work backwards.
