Resume Listings
Please note that most jobs are filled by employers running their own resume searches.

Resumes are listed in order of those most recently updated, so its a good idea to update regularly.

(You dont have to alter any details in your resume, just login, go to Update resume, then click Update at the foot of the resume.)

Emails
You will receive regular e-mails informing you of appropriate job postings, and a weekly Heres Looking at You Kid email letting you know which companies have been looking at your resume. Please ensure your email address is entered correctly as it is our main means of contacting you.

Jobs Board
Vacancies posted here are often not advertised elsewhere. To view current vacancies login and click on jobs. Clicking on the subject brings up the specific vacancy details. To apply for a position you must be logged in. Click the link below the job specification.

Applications are sent by e-mail direct to the employer. We recommend that you include a covering letter. All applications contain a direct link to your resume.

(It is worth noting that while the jobs board is very popular and proving to be a great success, most positions are filled by employers using the search facility to find people.)

Resumes
Some formatting may be lost when cutting and pasting from a Word version of your resume, so doublecheck the appearance of your resumes.

To jazz up the appearance of your resume simply add some very simple coding. This will enable you to use bold, underlining and italics.

Heres a simple guide:
< b>Sub Editor< /b> would give you Sub Editor in bold
< b>< u>Features Writer< /u>< /b> would give you Features Writer in bold and underlined
< i>Researcher< /i> would give you Researcher in italics.
You can combine one or more of these. Its quite straightforward, just remember that the coding comes immediately before the text you want altered, and then immediately afterward (the forward slash is vital here).

To upload a Word version of your resume click on Upload Word on the menu bar - N.B. Word resumes are best saved as Rich Text Format beforehand.

Diary Availability
You can enter one or multiple periods of availability (click on Availability on the menu). These are displayed toward the top of your resume.

If you prefer, you can leave your availability blank and your resume will display Available at the top
