We've done our best to create an ad-posting process for you that
is both easy to use and flexible enough to accommodate your individual
design requirements. Using any new system for the first time is
often a challenge. We're here to help. Please feel free to call
our HelpDesk and we'll walk you through the process over the phone or answer
any of your questions.
- Please prepare the text of your ad in a word processing
program first (e.g. Word, WordPerfect). Don't worry about
formatting -- the complete text is most important. This will
save time and possible problems later.
- Go to the Advertiser Log-in
page
- Enter your username and password as noted in the confirmation
e-mail you received when you registered.
Click the "Log-in" button.
If you have forgotten your log-in information, enter your e-mail
address in the "Forgot Your Password" section below
the log-in area and we will e-mail the information to you.
- When you are logged in to the "My Desk" screen,
click the "Post Job Ad" link.
- Choose a language for your ad -- "English",
"French", or "Bilingual" and click the
"Next" button. Please
note: if you wish to receive the second language
discount for a bilingual ad, you must use the bilingual form.
- Fill in the Job Information form.
You must take less than 30 minutes to complete this page.
Don't worry -- it should definitely take less than 30 minutes
to complete the whole process if you have prepared the text
of your ad in advance.
The Job Information form is broken down into five short sub-sections.
There are some fields that you must fill out. They are marked
with a red dot ( ).
If you have questions about an field, just click the Question
icon ( ):
Posting Information Section: Enter a purchase order (if
you need one internally), a start date,
and a deadline for applications.
Add/Select your Logo: If you have a logo on file, you
may select it from the pull-down list. If you do not have any
logos on file, you may add them
before posting an ad or directly from the Job Information form.
Job Information: Add the job title,
position type,
job category,
job region, and
a specific location (city, neighbourhood, etc.). To select multiple
items in a list, hold down the CTRL key while clicking on an
item. For Mac users, hold down the CMD(Apple) key while clicking.
Once you have entered the listing information, click the "Save
to Basket" button. This option is available as a safeguard
against losing data because of a system timeout or possibly
a power failure.
Job Description: For fastest posting, copy and paste
the entire text of your job ad from your word processing document
into the top box, labeled "Introductory Text". The
top box accepts HTML characters.
If you are posting a bilingual job listing, you will see the
English job description fields first, followed by the same fields
for the French version of your listing.
Below the job description boxes, there are optional fields for
entering years of experience required, as well as compensation
type and amount. If you have not included a compensation amount
or range, please reconsider. Compensation range is the most
often requested piece if information by our job seekers.
It can also be a very effective tool for helping you sift out
inappropriate applications from those who are over- or under-qualified.
Again, once you've entered the listing description, click the
"Save to Basket" button to save your listing so far.
Job Contact Information: Select the method(s) by which
applicants should reach you.To select multiple items in a list,
hold down the CTRL key while clicking on an item. For Mac users,
hold down the CMD(Apple) key while clicking. You may change
any of the default contact information in any of these fields.
Once again, the option to save the data is available.
Once you've filled in the form, click the "Next"
button.
- Preview your creation. This is how your ad will look
when it goes live on the site. Please review it carefully to
make sure that you have everything correct (mistyped fax numbers
are the most common mistake).
If you are posting a bilingual job listing, you will be able
to preview the French version by clicking on the "Show
French Version" link at the top of the page.
If you need to edit anything, scroll down to the bottom of the
page and click the "Back" button. If the ad looks
good, click the "Next" button. You're almost
there!
- Review your basket. You will see the title of your
job ad listed as well as the price. To place your order, click
the "Place Order" button. This will send the job
ad to our coordinator, who will review it and post it to the
site within 1 business day (usually much sooner).
If you wish to edit your ad, click the "Edit" icon
( ) beside your
ad.
If you wish to post another ad before placing your order, click
the "Post Another Job Ad" link.
- The Order Confirmation page includes the details of
your order: the job title, price, and order number. This is
not an invoice. We will send you an invoice by mail.
If you had any trouble placing your ad, please let us know by
clicking on the "yes" link at the bottom of the confirmation
page and filling out the form.
That's all there is to it! Again, if you have any questions about
posting an ad, please contact your local HelpDesk Manager.
