How do I set-up the Job Agent?

First, Conduct Your Job 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 dozens of Work Study, Student Assistance and Area Part Time jobs that had been posted 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, use only the Position Types field to conduct your search for ensuring that you don't miss-out on opportunities.

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.

TIP: Using 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 "Agent Part-Time", another "Agent Stud Assistance ", a third "Agent Work Study", etc... (see below). Jobs that match the criteria of your job agents are sent in a single email at the end of each day, as shown below:

When will I receive my Job Agent email list?

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