Email: this is vital, as it is a means for both us and employers to contact you. Should you change your e-mail address change please change it in your online resume.

login and password: choose your own - it can be anything! You can change them whenever you want by deleting your current choice and typing in something new then clicking update at the bottom of the form.

Address: This is confidential and does not appear on your resume. It is simply for our records.

Phone numbers: In most cases employers will contact you by phone. You can choose whether your contact numbers are visible or hidden. If you choose to keep them hidden the following message appears on your resume, For contact numbers call 323 284 5598... and we will pass on your numbers.

Primary and Secondary Job Types: these are your two main job types, the two areas in which you would most like to work. (You can, if you prefer, list a primary job type and leave the secondary job type blank.) These are displayed alongside your name when employers run the searches. This provides employers with a quick and easy method of distinguishing your main area of work. (NB In addition to selecting these you MUST tick the job type boxes, as it is from these that the searches are run, not the Primary and Secondary job types). For further information see Job Types below.

About Me: this section is for you to promote yourself to employers and summarise what you've done and what you're hoping to do.

Employment History: There is a limit of 4,000 characters (approximately 1.5 sides of A4) in this field. The first 100 words appear next to your name on the employer searches. (You can upload a Word version of your resume which can be of any length and will include your personalised formatting - see Help page when you're logged in.) As with the About Me section, you have free rein over what you write.

Job Types: You can tick more than one job type, but we ask that you fill in your main two job types (see Primary and Secondary job types above). It is from these that searches are run. Several job types may be applicable. Select the job types most suitable to you. You can choose a maximum of four.

Other tick box categories
You can select as many of these as are relevant. Employers use all these categories for their searches, so it helps if you make at least one selection in each category.
