How does job filtering work? By default all open jobs are displayed, and can be selected, when you click on the "Search" button without making a selection. To make your search criteria more specific, you can select a combination of Location, Industry, and Position Type. To make your search criteria broader, you can select "Any" to see jobs for all locations, industries or types. Make sure you click the "Search" button to refresh the job list. Jobs which match your search are listed in order starting with the most recent position. To view more details about a particular job, just click on its title - this is a link to a more detailed description. Save time by using the check boxes to select all jobs of interest and then click on "View Details". Full descriptions for each job will appear on the next page. |
|
Can I browse jobs by industry? Yes you can. Make sure that "Any" is selected for Location and Position Type, then select an industry and click the "Search" button. |
|
How long have the ads been published for? New jobs are listed regularly. They remain listed until they are filled and then they are promptly removed. As always, it is very important to respond quickly to vacancies that you're interested in. |
|
Why can't I get to the next page of job listings? You don't have JavaScript or Active Scripting turned on in your browser. Check that JavaScript (Netscape 3 and above) or Active Scripting (Internet Explorer 4 and above) is turned on in your browser. This function requires JavaScript. Look up your browser help menu or ask your technical support person about how to enable JavaScript or Active Scripting on your browser. |
|
Why were no results returned? If there are no search results, try repeating your search with broader search criteria. Click here for more information on how to do this. New jobs get posted regularly, so it's worth coming back later to repeat your search. If there are no jobs listed, even if "Any" is selected for both Location, Industry and Position Type, it means that there are currently no jobs open for online application. |
| Registration/Login |
|
Do I have to register to apply for a job? Yes. You must give us your details before you can be considered for a job. After the first job application you will have an account with us. You can access this using your username and password. You do not have to re-enter your details when you apply for the second or subsequent time, however you will have a chance to modify/update your details. |
|
How do I register? Once you are ready to apply for a job and you click the "Apply" button you will be taken to the Login page. On that page follow the instructions for creating a new account (click the link in the upper part of the page). Then follow the steps to create your new account. |
|
I can't remember my password and now I can't login. What can I do? On the Login page there is a facility for sending your username and password to the email address you have registered with us. Enter your username and then click the link in the lower part of the page. You will shortly receive an e-mail with your username and password. Remember, your username and password are important. They are the key to managing all your personal information. Write them down in a safe, secure place. |
|
I keep getting an error when I try to login. Double-check that you're entering the login details you have previously registered with us. Your username and password are specific to this website. Your login details for other services (Hotmail, ninemsn, Excite, etc) will not work here. |
|
How do I change my registered email address? Click on "My Account" link on the left hand side of the page. If you have not logged in already you will be taken to the Login page. After you are logged in, click on the "My Profile" link on the left hand side. Review and change your details as appropriate. Click "Save" to update your details. |
|
I can't find out my password because my email address has changed. User privacy is important to us. For this reason, we can only send login details to the registered email address. If you cannot access this email address to find out your forgotten password, you'll have to contact Simplot Australia directly to have your password reset. |
| Applying online |
|
How do I apply?
First select the job(s) you are interested in from the job listing page, then click "View Details" to see the full description of the selected jobs. On the details page you can discard some of the jobs selected if you wish. When you are ready to apply, click on the "Apply" button. You will be prompted to login or create a new account. If you are already logged in when you click "Apply" then your application will be submitted right away. |
|
Do I have to be registered or logged in in order to apply online?
You must have an account with us before you can apply for a job online. If you do not have an account then you must create a new account. If you are a previous job applicant you must login before you can apply for another job. |
|
How do cover letters work? You can attach a cover letter document file from your hard drive or a floppy disk. Click here for more information on how to do this. We recommend that you always send a cover letter with any job application. |
|
What kind of files can I attach? In general, we recommend saving Word documents in normal (.doc) format. This can be easily accessed and opened. It is not a good idea to send large files (more than 200Kb). Removing images from a document can drastically reduce its size. |
|
I can't work out how to attach a file from my hard drive. You must use a browser that supports file upload in order to be able to attach a file from your hard drive or a floppy disk. Internet Explorer 3 and Netscape Navigator 2 don't support file upload. You may need to upgrade to a more recent browser. In order to upload a file on the Attachments page, click on the "Browse..." button. This will bring up a window that allows you to browse the files on your hard drive or floppy disk. Once you have found and selected the file you wish to upload click "Open". This will place the path and name of the selected file in the box adjacent to the "Browse..." button. If you are uploading a file other than the resume then you will need to enter a short description as well. Once this is done click the "Upload" button on the relevant section and your file will be uploaded. Please note that uploading time is proportional to the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file you are uploading. Please upload your resume in the upper section of the Attachments page and any other documents (like a cover letter or references) in the lower section. |
|
Do I have to fill in the Employment section?
The Employment section is NOT MANDATORY. However we strongly recommend completing this information to assist our consultants making their decisions. Start with the oldest employment and work you way through to the most recent one. A new employment record can be added by clicking the "New" button. When adding an employment record you MUST enter at least the Position Title and then click the "Save" button to add the entry to the list. You can easily modify an entry by selecting it, making the changes and then saving it. To select the record click the position title link in the list. To delete an employment record you must select it first (see above) and then click the "Delete" button. Note: This section may not appear in some instances. |
|
Do I have to enter my Qualifications?
The Qualifications section is NOT MANDATORY. However we strongly recommend completing this information to assist our consultants making their decisions. Start with the oldest qualification and work you way through to the most recent one. A new qualification record can be added by clicking the "New" button. When adding a qualification record you MUST enter at least the Degree/Certification and then click the "Save" button to add the entry to the list. You can easily modify an entry by selecting it, making the changes and then saving it. To select the record click the degree/certification link in the list. To delete a qualification record you must select it first (see above) and then click the "Delete" button. Note: This section may not appear in some instances. |
|
Why should I apply online? Applying online submits your application right away. A consultant could be reading your application minutes after you send it. Plus, many recruitment agencies now keep all candidate details in electronic files. If you send in a hard-copy resume, they will scan it and keep an electronic copy anyway. |
|
How long will it take to get a reply once I send in an application? Your application goes directly to our database. You should receive an e-mail message confirming you application right away. You will then be contacted in the next few days, our response might depend on the volume of applications we get for a particular position. |
