How can I best use the Job Agent?

First, Conduct Your Search

Job Agent Steps 1-3

Then Turn-On and Save Your Job Agent:

Job Agent Steps 4-5

Use Job Agent for Notification: The Job Agent feature will ONLY send to you notification of jobs that have arrived into the Hire A Falcon System that day. It is recommended that job seekers enter the system and view the hundreds of jobs that had been posted to the system prior to setting-up their Job Agent. Most positions remain open and viewable in the system for 2-4 weeks.

Keep Job Agent Search Simple: When you set-up your job agent, keep your search criteria minimal. For example, to maximize jobs you will receive, use only the "Position Type" field during your search, then save that search as a Job Agent so that all jobs that are that position type are emailed to you in a daily list when they arrive each day. For example:

POSITION TYPES:
- UWRF Work Study , UWRF Student Assistance and Part-Time = jobs posted by UWRF Financial Aid for currently enrolled students.
- Full Time Entry Level = May require a degree, but does not require experience.
- Full Time Experienced = Requires a degree plus some experience.
- Internship = Internships at UWRF and throughout WI and MN.
- Limited Term or Temporary = Positions end after a specified time period.
- School District = All positions in school districts. Most require certification or licensure.

Use Multiple Job Agents: Set-up multiple job agents to arrange how jobs are grouped in the automatic email that is sent to you. For example, name one job agent "Full-Time", another "School Dist", a third "Work Study", etc... (see below). Jobs that match any of these job agents are sent in a single email to you at the end of each day, as shown below:

  2. Click on "Options"
  3. Click on "Display Preferences"

Follow instructions provided by that software to turn-on HTML viewing, or browse your email program's "Options" to turn-on this option.
