The job seeker dashboard

The dashboard is your home page on the job board. From it you reach your resume, your applications, saved jobs and job alerts, and you see the newest jobs at a glance.

The job seeker dashboard: profile with Add Resume, Search Job and Edit Profile buttons, four count boxes, and the Short Links menu on the left

The top shows your profile picture and name, with three buttons:

  • Add Resume: opens the resume form. See Building a resume.
  • Search Job: opens the job search form.
  • Edit Profile: change your name and photo.

Next to it are count boxes. Each has a View Detail link to the full list.

Box What it counts
My Resumes Your resumes.
Applied Jobs Jobs you have applied for.

Shortlisted Jobs Jobs you have saved to your shortlist.

The Short Links menu on the left is grouped into sections. You only see the links the site has turned on.
