Australian JobSearch is one of Australia’s largest online job boards. You can search through a large pool of jobs across Australia.
It is free to register on JobSearch. Once registered, you can create and manage your Job Match Profile within your Personal Page. This will make it easier for you to find jobs and also for employers to find you.
When you create your Job Match Profile it will capture a summary of your qualifications, skills and experience. This summary can be used to match you to jobs and can be viewed by employers looking for candidates. Employers cannot view your personal information.
To create your Job Match Profile follow these steps.
Step 1
Go to the JobSearch home page (see our Related Links).
Step 2
If you are not registered with JobSearch, follow the links on the JobSearch home page to register for free.
If you are receiving assistance from an Australian Government employment service provider, they will help you to use JobSearch and give you a user ID (your job seeker identification number, JSID) and Personal Identification Number (PIN).
If you have self registered, you will have created your own user ID and PIN.
Step 3
Select the ‘Job Seeker’ button and enter your user ID and PIN. Select ‘Go’ to log in to your Personal Page.
Step 4
If you do not already have a resume on JobSearch, select ‘Resume Manager’ and either create a new resume by using JobSearch’s resume builder or upload a Rich Text Format version of your resume.
If you have saved your resume as a Word document on your computer, you can turn this into Rich Text Format document:
- open the document and select 'File' then ‘Save as’.
- select ‘Rich Text Format’ from the ‘Save as type’ drop down list.
The document is now in a Rich Text Format and can be uploaded on JobSearch.
Step 5
Select the ‘Job Match Profile’ link.
Step 6
Select ‘Extract Keywords’ to extract the matching keywords from your resume. Then select ‘Save Keywords’.
Step 7
Select ‘Add Occupation’ to add any occupations you have worked in or are looking to work in.
Step 8
Select ‘Add Location’ to add locations where you want to work.
Step 9
If you want to add any of your licences, such as a car licence or a forklift licence, select ‘Add Licence’.
Step 10
Select any of the ‘Other Options’ that are relevant to you and then select ‘Save Options’.
You have now created your Job Match Profile. You can now look at a list of job matches by using the 'Instant Job List' link from your personal page.
You can also turn on automatic daily job matching by selecting the Job Matching 'ON/OFF' link and then selecting the 'Notification Method' link.
The notification methods are:
