Why doesn’t the Ministry have a record of the jobs I’ve applied for?

Updated over 3 months ago

When you apply for jobs, the Job Tracker does not update automatically. It’s there to help you manually track your job applications.

After applying for a job, make sure to record it in the Job Tracker. This can be done in 3 ways:

1. SAVE A JOB USING THE CHROME EXTENSION

  • Save job postings from Indeed (or any job bank), using our Chrome Extension.

  • Click on a job posting from Indeed, and the extension will pop-up on the right-hand side of the screen.

  • Select “Save This Job!”

  • Edit the Opportunity Details if needed (this is information pulled from the job listing), then select "Save Opportunity"

  • The posting will be added to the Job Tracker.


2. SAVE A JOB USING THE JOB SEARCH TOOL

  • On Thrive's Job Search page, search for a job, and on the right side, click on "Save Job" - The job listing has been added to the Job Tracker under the "Bookmark" column


3. ADD A JOB POSTING MANUALLY

  • This is a 2-step process. First, we need to add the company information in Thrive. Select Companies on the left side menu.

  • Click "Add a Company"

  • Fill out the Company details and click "Save Company"

  • Now go back to the Job Tracker (under Job Management on the left side menu)

  • On the Job Tracker page, click the "+Add a Job" button from the toolbar on the right.

  • Fill out the Job Title, select the Company that we just added from the drop-down menu and click "Save Job". The job will be added under the Bookmark column on the Job Tracker homepage.


ONCE THE JOBS ARE ADDED IN THE JOB TRACKER:

  • Manually drag the job card to the appropriate column.

This provides a great visual for where you’re at with each job application, and allows the Ministry to see your progress.
