Job seeker FAQs

• 
  Why should I create a careerpassport profile?

  • Setting up a profile with careerpassport gives you a better and quicker chance to find the right employment.
  • You can register for daily or weekly job alerts according to your job preferences without receiving spam emails.
  • All the necessary data, qualifications, languages and preferences are neatly organised on the set format and CV, references, and certificates can be uploaded.
  • The same profile can be updated with new achievements at any time and as often as necessary, to use when seeking employment.
  • The careerpassport profile can be submitted with all applications for the various positions advertised online by any employer using careerpassport.
  • Careerpassport is not a recruitment agency. We offer a recruitment software for companies and thus do not deal with recruitment.

  
  What does a Profile consists of?

  • Languages - This is an important tab to fill in if and gives you the opportunity to be selected in language related jobs.
  • Documents - This tab is used to upload your CV, References, Photo and all relevant Certificates.
  • My Applications - You can monitor the status and updates on all your applications when viewing this tab.
  • Email Settings - The final step of setting up your job alerts is by choosing how frequent you would like to receive emails from us. This tab also has the function of allowing you to change your email address.
  • Change Password - Use this tab to update and change your profile.
  • Account Settings - Once an application has been submitted to a Careerpassport client, your Profile would automatically remain active with the company for future reference unless you choose to remove the connection with that company.

  The tabs also give you the options to edit them any time you require.
