• Search for job openings that match their interests.

• Save job search criteria.

• Save job openings.

• Use multiple resumes in the job application process.

• Submit job applications and resumes for specific job openings.

• Submit job applications and resumes without applying to a specific job opening.

• Submit employment references, cover letters, and other documents.

• Complete online screening questionnaires.

• View notifications from recruiters.

• View interview schedules.

• Maintain and update their name and contact information (external applicants only).

In addition, employees can use transactions located on the self-service navigation path to:

You can use the text catalog to modify much of the text that appears on the applicant facing pages. The text catalog contains default text, but you can change the default text as needed. The text catalog enables you to change text for:

• Page titles

• Page instructions

• Group box labels

• Grid labels

• Field labels

• Link titles

See Configuring the Text Catalog.
