My Account: Item 5 – My Messages
Before moving into My Messages, let’s look into the Case of John (employer) and Shawn (job seeker).
Case Study:
After looking around Job-Seeker Shawn found a best Job- example below (posted by employer John):
Shawn has multiple options with this job now.
- Option 1: Shawn can Share this job via social media, Manage this job , email it, Print the Job etc
- Option 2 – APPLY FOR JOB
- One Default Resume for all jobs:
Job Seeker Shawn can simply apply for the job in one click. He can upload CV/RESUME at bottom of “MY ACCOUNTS DETAIL” page <instructions provided on the top of this guide>. The default resume can be automatically attached to each job as soon as Shawn hits the “Submit Application” illustrated below.
- Multiple versions of Resumes and Cover Letters for jobs:
In case of multiple versions of Resumes and Cover Letters, Shawn will have to use share-a- link option. <Go to HOW TOs or http://jobs.accountancy-group.com/share-a-link-job-seekers/ under Q&As Menu to learn more about sharing a link>.
- In any case, Shawn can always copy & paste his content in the box shown below along with the links to resumes & cover letters. (ALERT- word formatting will be removed if pasted)
As soon as Shawn Apply for the Job, John receives an update under his listing “My Listings” as shown below:
All the applications applied by job-seekers for the job listing of John will be available at the bottom of his each listing. After John finds out the best candidate (job-seeker), he can simply click on the Accept Proposal button. It will remove the listing from the website.
Shawn will also be able to see the his application under his My Account – Listings Applied for. Sample below:
- Option 3 – Shawn has a private question for employer.
He wants to be clear in few items before he applies for the job.In this case, Shawn will be able to privately contact the Employer (say John for our example). Inside each Job listing, on the left hand side Shawn can see contact details, urls etc about the employer John as shown below:
He can make a quick call or simply choose to write a private email to the employer.
EMAIL AUTHOR- Private Communication
Shawn chose to write an email then as soon as he clicks on the “Email Author” button, he will be presented with the email window as shown below. These emails will not be visible to public.
After clicking on the “Send Message Button” -Shawn will now see a success message “Message Sent Successfully” as shown in the green box below. He will still be able to send 100 of emails as needed.
Let us look into the employer Johns Dashboard (My Account). This is what John will see from overall view: (1 New Message in the RED BOX).
When John clicks on his “My Messages “, he can see email sent by someone as shown below.
John can delete this email without looking into it or clicks to open it. If he opens it then a pop up window with reply open appears as below:
REPLY to Shawn
John can click on the reply and write the reply and send it back to John in few clicks. Example below-
After clicking on Send Message, John will also receive message sent confirmation
When Shawn refreshes his browser – he sees a new message as below. He can reply to the message with additional questions or simply apply for the Job (instructions on how o apply for the job provided above)
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE the Listing Name as the title of email. In our example neither john nor Shawn did it. Title name will make it easier to manage & organize these quick emails especially if you have multiple of listings posted out there.
- Option 4 – Shawn has a question for employer which can be shared publicly.
Shawn wants to share a question among all the job-seekers and employers to get their feedback on this concern or question. He can simply leave a comment as shown below and expect responses from other employers, job-seekers & the author of the job. Community help is encouraged; if we help each other then there will eventually come a time when everyone will help you!
After John the employer replies to the Shawn then this is how the Comment section will look like. All members are allowed to participate.
Comment section is best to answer the FAQ questions. One single answer may help millions of public who might had the same question
My Account: Item 6 – My Favorites
