Once you have completed your payment, you will be taken to your account centre, where you click "Post a Job" and fill out all necessary information.

  5. What is the remember username and password option when I sign up?
    When you choose to have your username and password remembered, you will be able to log into your account from the same computer, without having to enter your username and password each time. This makes it very convenient for you to return at any time. However, if you share your computer with others and you don't want them to have access to your account; we recommend that you do not enable this option. You may change this setting at any time by going to "Change Profile" in your account centre.

  6. I forgot my username and/or password. How can I retrieve it?
    To retrieve your username and password, click here and enter your email address. The username and password will automatically be emailed to you.

  7. How will I receive job applications?
    When you post jobs at CMABCJOBS.COM, you may receive job applications in three ways:

    1. When job applicants utilize CMABCJOBS.COM’s online application procedure, resumes and (possibly) cover letters will be sent to your email address. The resumes that you receive will either come to you as a template CMABCJOBS.COM resume or in word format.

    2. Job applicants may choose to contact you directly if you choose to display your contact information in your job description. You may choose what contact information you would like to display or hide all contact information to receive applications only through CMABCJOBS.COM online application.

    3. With your CMABCJOBS.COM account, you can choose to have your applicants redirected to your own website and apply to the position from your own applicant tracking system.

  8. How does CMABCJOBS.COM ensure that employers do not receive more than one job application per posting from the same job seeker?
    CMABCJOBS.COM automatically pulls any duplicate application and notifies the job seeker that he or she has already applied for this posting within the last 30 days.

  9. The resumes that I receive are not legible. What's wrong?
    All job applications are sent to employers in HTML format by default. HTML emails allow better formatting of resumes and it will simplify your selection process. 99% of email users can properly view HTML emails. However, if your email program doesn't support it, the job applications will not be legible. In this case, you may choose to receive job applications in "plain text" format. To change this setting, click "Change Profile" from your employer account centre.

  10. If I currently have one job posting credit remaining, what will happen when I renew my package with more credits? Will I lose my original job posting credit?

      If you are logging in to the CMABCJOBS.COM web site for the first time, you will be directed to a "first time login" form.

    2. Do I have to create a member account to apply to jobs?
      We recommend that you create a member account and create an online resume. This way, employers will receive resumes that have been formatted for their best possible viewing. In addition, you can make your resume searchable so that employers searching for candidates can find you. However, it is not mandatory that you create an account. If an employer has shown his or her contact information in the job description, you may contact the employer directly.

    3. What is the remember username and password option when I create an account?
      When you choose to have your username and password remembered, you will be able to log into your account from the same computer, without having to enter your username and password each time. This makes it very convenient for you to return at any time. However, if you share your computer with others and you don't want them to have access to your account; we recommend that you do not enable this option. You may change this setting at any time by going to "Profile" in your account centre.

    4. I forgot my username and/or password. How can I retrieve it?
      To retrieve your username and password, click here and enter your email address. The username and password will automatically be emailed to you.

    5. How do I get the best results through CMABCJOBS.COM?
      First, it is important to actively seek and apply to jobs that are suited to your qualifications. We also strongly recommend that you create and activate an online resume, as many employers select possible candidates by searching and viewing CMABCJOBS.COM’s resume database.

    6. What is a confidential resume?
      TA confidential resume allows you to post a resume without disclosing the following:
      - personal information (name, address, email address, phone number)
      - present employer's company name
      - references
      Please note that when you use your confidential resume to actively apply to jobs, all the information listed above will be disclosed.

    7. How will employers contact me if I post my resume online, but my resume security is set to 'confidential'?
      If your resume security is set to 'confidential', employers can only contact you through CMABCJOBS.COM. Employers will fill out a form and an email will automatically be sent to you. Your personal information will never be disclosed to the employer.

    8. What is a 'Saved Search / Job Alert'?
      When you search for jobs on CMABCJOBS.COM you can use certain search criteria such as, keyword, category, region, employer type, job type, work experience, job type, date posted and relevance. Once you have done this search once, CMABCJOBS.COM gives you the option of saving that search so that you can run it again with the click of a button. It also gives you the option of having those jobs that match your saved search e-mailed to you daily, weekly or bi-weekly.

    9. I have not received any email notifications, even though I enabled job alerts. What's wrong?
      You will only receive email notifications when there are new jobs that match your criteria. If you have not received any email notifications for an extended period, please check the keywords that you have entered and ensure that your spelling is correct. For example, entering "manager" in the keyword field will not match any jobs, as the word is spelt incorrectly. In addition, excessive use of the word "and" in the keyword field will decrease the probability of a match. For example, entering 'programmer and painter and reporter' will likely never match any jobs.

    10. What is the 'block employer' option?
      Blocking an employer will hide your active online resume from certain employers.
