My CareerStructure: Profile
To go into our candidate database and allow recruiters to find you for their jobs, you need to complete a Jobseeker Profile. Click on the 'View my profile' button in the My CareerStructure: Profile section. The purpose of this questionnaire is to create a file of information on you, that you control, and that recruiters can search. Once you have completed the form, you can decide how much of this information you want recruiters to be able to see.
With the profile visibility options at the bottom of the page you can do the following:
- If you want recruiters to be able to see ALL of the information in your Jobseeker Profile, including your Personal details and CV, work experience information and new job requirements you can do so by selecting the first radio button.
- If you want recruiters to be able to see your work experience information and new job requirements but NOT your personal details or your CV you can do so by selecting the second radio button. Recruiters contact you via CareerStructure.com. Please note recruiters are less likely to shortlist candidates who make themselves anonymous.
- If you do not want recruiters to be able to view any of your Jobseeker Profile information you can do so by selecting the final radio button.

Click on 'view sample results' to see current jobs that match your criteria. If you are not happy with the type of jobs that appear you can click 'Back to edit JBE' and change your criteria.
When you are happy with your JBE criteria, click on the "Activate Jobs By Email" button.
