How do I apply for a job?

Please find some instructions below...

After you search for a job, you should be presented with a table with numerous Job Titles in it. These Job Titles are the available positions.

To view these positions simply click on the desired Job Title and then you will be able to view the positions details.

From here you will see two 'APPLY NOW!' buttons, one at the top right of the page and one at the bottom left.

Click on any one of these buttons and from here you will be directed to the Online Application form where you can enter your details.

There is no need for you to be registered to scotcareers.co.uk to apply.

How do I attach a CV to an application?

When in the Apply Online page, there is a section named 'Attached CV' where you can upload a CV.

If you ARE logged in to this section of the site, there is a drop down named 'Choose an existing CV to use' as well as a 'Choose File' button. When the drop down is selected, you can choose any CV you've either uploaded from you PC or a CV (pdf) that you've created from the CV Creator.

If you are NOT logged in to this section of the site, you will only see a 'Choose file' button where you can choose a CV from your PC and attach to your application.

My Email Alerts

Scotcareers can take the hassle out of continually having to search the same locations and sectors every day or week by giving you the opportunity to set up email alerts that can be customised to your recruitment needs.

Email alerts can be received daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly and mean you can sit back and let Scotcareers do the searching for you. Everytime new jobs are uploaded onto the site you will be notified by email to the address of your choice.
