External applicants use the My Account Information page to update their name and contact information and to change their passwords, their secret questions, and the answers to their secret questions. Applicants cannot change their user names.
Internal applicants do not self-register for Candidate Gateway, so they do not have Candidate Gateway user names or passwords. Their account information is limited to read-only name and contact information from the Human Resources system. The page where internal applicants view this data is accordingly called My Contact Information rather than My Account Information.
Default Country for External Applicants
Contact information for external applicants include a Country field that is required, even if no other address information exists. The system uses this country to determine whether an application with no job opening will include the USA-specific Diversity step where applicants optionally supply gender and ethnicity information.
The default value for the Country field comes from the Site Setup Page. If the site does not have a default country, then the default country comes from the primary permission list for the user ID that is being used to provide guest access to the site.
To set the default country for the guest user IDs:
Choose or create the PeopleTools user ID and permission list that will be used use for this purpose.
See PeopleTools: Security Administration
Access the User Profiles - General page for the guest user ID, and enter the permission list in the Primary field in the Permission Lists section of the page.
Access the Org Defaults by Permission Lst - Defaults page and enter the default country in the Country field.
External applicants use the My Account Information page (HRS_APP_PRFINFO_FL) to view and update their name and contact information and to access pages for making changes to passwords and secret questions.
