How can Employers contact me? Is it after via viewing of my resume?
Yes, Employers can only contact you if you submit your resume to our system. Employers need to know what skills, knowledge & qualification does a person has before calling them for an interview and that is only after viewing your resume.
Tip
: Give a "Key Words Attractive & Detailed" Resume to enhance your chance.
Who can view my Resume?
Only registered Employers with their respective countries governing bodies can view your resume. In fact, you can clearly see that we do not have any MLM job ads or any other funny job ads as we do not allow non-registered companies or individuals to post job ads. SingaporeJobsOnline.com is NOT the usual rubbish job classified dumping ground. Take note that we are assisting the Ministry of Manpower in their job data bank & hence we provide proper job ads.
How can I submit my resume?
After login, at the left navigation click "Submit Resume". After submitting
details, click save.
I got a error message "No such account .." What happened to my registration & resume?
Your account must have been auto-deleted due to invalid email or over quota or more than 2 emails contact submitted. It could be also that your valid email rejected our registration verification email thereby informing our system that your valid email is invalid as message is bounced or rejected & thus system deletes your account. You may have key in your email wrongly, eg : ".com" instead of ".com.sg". Or you may have misspelt your email eg : "hootmail.com.sg" instead of "hotmail.com". Or you may have misplaced the full stop "." eg : "yahooc.om" instead of "yahoo.com". You need to re-register again & make sure your email is valid & not over quota and does not reject our verification email. You need to make sure everything is key in correctly. Above examples are real life examples why job seeker account has been auto-deleted.
Can I put 2 emails in my contact info?
No, you cannot put 2 emails contact. Our system allows only 1 email, online job email alert will not be sent to you if more than 1 email are entered. In fact, system will delete your registration after a while due to non-compliance.
How do I unsubscribe the job alert email?
Login & go to "Submit & Edit Job Alert Email", click on "Not Interested" and click "Subscribe".
I am not getting the job alert emails. What is happening?
Few reasons why you are not getting the job alert emails. Your email system rejected our job alert emails thinking they are spam materials. Your hosting account for your email is rejecting our job alert emails due to spam control alert they have gotten from forgetful users who has forgotten they have signed up for job alert email & report to their hosting company that we are spamming their account; thereby resulting in our emails being banned. What you need to do is to update your hosting company & your spam filter that you want to receive the job alert emails.
What is Resume Job Ad Match?
Resume Job Ad Match is only available when you submit your resume whereby all job ads matching the Job Category selected will go into that folder for you to apply for jobs. You need to login and view this Resume Job Ad Match folder. Our auto-matching will save you the time from searching out job ads that match what you wanted.
I have applied for many jobs but not much response. What should I do?
Competition is tougher nowadays. Your resume may not be detailed enough or very flimsy for selection. It is common for hundreds of applicants for 1 job vacancy. Employers are also more selective than before who they want to hire. Times have changed. If firing 5 shots cannot hit the target, how about trying 1000 shots, surely 1 shot will hit target & you be granted an interview to showcase your interviewing skills & abilities. We can only suggest to try harder & use our Apply Job Online facilities for easier application for jobs. For backup, you might want to consider also sending a MS Word application directly to Employer's email stating that your saw the job ad from SingaporeJobsOnline.com.
Should I apply for job agencies's job ads? Any advice?
Yes, you should definitely apply for job agencies' job ads. Although the job ads may look the same like before, the clients may be different. Requirement for admin assistant are pretty similar across the board & therefore job ads look the same. Job agencies are not that free to post job ads for fun anyway. What do you have to lose other than being more hardworking? The strategy is to submit application for any job ads that match what you want & not just assume job agencies already have your data as job agencies usually want fresh data. Who knows you may be noticed & offered other jobs instead. Don't just take things for granted, one has to work hard nowadays too. Note : Instead of wondering whether your thrown fishing line (ie resume) will be taking a bite from fishes (ie employers), or wondering whether the fishes can see your fishing line or not, or wondering if the fishes are hungry today or not, why not throw 1000 fishing lines, surely there will be 1 fish will take a bite unless your fishing line & bait (ie resume) is very bad or poorly prepared etc..
I cannot login despite using the correct email & password. What should I do?
Check whether your password is correct or not; send a request for password by clicking onto "Lost Password" in "Job Seeker" Section. Check whether did you key in the full email address; it must be full email address. Check whether your computer caps lock is on or off; it must be off.
