How to use GBCareers
Step 1 - Uploading your application
First, when you find a job you’d like to apply for, follow the instructions carefully when you are uploading your application. Pay attention to what is and isn’t allowed. For example, no spaces or symbols are permitted. One thing to keep in mind is that there is no way to recall a résumé once it’s been sent and you can’t cancel an application once it’s gone. Be sure to upload and review your application package before you send it. Some companies will want you to email your résumé directly to them through their business website.
Step 2 - Naming conventions
Second, name your file carefully and specifically. Don’t call it “My Awesome Resume” put your first and last name and resume or cover letter, which will look a lot more professional when received by a company.
Step 3 - Searching best practice
Thirdly, instead of searching using key words do a quick search targeted to a specific school, for example, if you are a graduate of marketing then you might want to target The Centre for Business and see the different jobs that employers have targeted to your specific area of study. You might find a job under a position title that you might not have thought to search.
Step 4 - Email alerts
Fourthly, if you want to have jobs sent to your email that match certain terms or job titles, then be sure to put a check in the boxes when you are prompted to do so. Sign up for email alerts when jobs that interest you are posted on the site. Click on the box available for this at the top of the page when you do a search for jobs.
Step 5 - Organization searches
Finally, if you are really keen on working for a specific organization you can search job postings by organization. You can find the button to do this on the bottom of the Job Postings page. All jobs ever posted by the organization will appear not just the ‘live’ ones. This way you can get a really good idea of the kind of positions they have been interested in filling and you can directly contact them about possible openings for someone with your skills.
