How do
I create a resumé?
Click the Create New Resumé button in the My Resumés section to
get started. Once registered, you may create and save up to 10 bilingual resumés.
How do I create a bilingual
resumé?
Before saving your resumé, click the tab marked Français right
above the Contact Information section. This will bring up the French template.
Complete the information in French and hit the button marked Sauvegarder. By
creating a bilingual resumé, you are not only just telling the Mackenzie
Group of Companies hiring community you are bilingual in your resumé,
you can show them!
What is the best format to
use for my resumé?
The best format for your resumé is Plain Text. Prior to copying and pasting
your resumé, you should save-as in Plain Text format from your word processing
application. Rich Text formats do not translate once your application is submitted.
If you wish to maintain certain formats, you may do so with HTML tags. However,
please note that your resumé is being evaluated on content not format.
You are able to view how your resumé appears to employers by logging in
to My Resumés and clicking on the preview icon to the right of the resumé name.
How do I know my application has been received?
You will receive an emailed acknowledgement that your resumé has been
received. Any further communication will be a result of your skills and background
matching a current hiring need, as determined by Mackenzie Group of Companies.
I have submitted my application but now realize
that I made an error in the information that I provided. What should I
do?
You may update the information in the resumé you submitted by clicking
on the name of the resumé you wish to modify. The submitted version will
automatically update. You aren’t able to re-apply for a position.
How do I update my contact information?
Click on My Resumés and log in if required. Click on the name of the resumé to
go to the Edit page. Just under the resumé name is a bar with the words: "Contact
Information (fields marked with a * are required)". To the right of this
is a button called Edit. Click on that and make your changes. Don’t forget
to hit Submit at the bottom of the page to save your changes.
How do I change my password?
To make changes to your password, e-mail address, name, or postal code, please
click on My Personal Info. Make any changes required and then click on Submit
Registration to update.
Can I apply for more than one position at a time?
You are encouraged to apply for any and all positions you are interested in.
In addition, you may wish to save your resumé and mark it Public in
the My Resumés section. By doing so, all people recruiting at the Mackenzie
Group of Companies will be able to review your resume.
What happens to my resumé once
I have applied?
If you are applying to a specific job posting, your resumé will be automatically
directed to the recruiter who is responsible for that posting. After proper evaluation
of your skills and background, you may receive further communication from the
assigned recruiter. Regardless, your resume will be made available to the Mackenzie
Group of Companies and maintained for six months.
I don’t see a posted opportunity that interests
me. Can I submit my resumé for general consideration?
In the My Resumés section, you may create and save up to 10 bilingual
resumés. By marking your resumé(s) as “Public”, all
people recruiting at the Mackenzie Group of Companies will be able to search
and access it.
What is the difference between Public and Private?
Mark your resumé as Private when you want to keep it hidden from everyone.
It's your Draft copy, perhaps. Mark your resumé as Public when you feel
it's ready to be seen by all people recruiting at the Mackenzie Group of Companies.
I have received an email message from Mackenzie
Group of Companies as a result of an application I recently submitted.
What is the best way to respond?
The best way to respond is to reply to the message you received; this ensures
that the subject line from the original message is maintained. This special subject
line ensures that your reply is automatically directed to the person at Mackenzie
Group of Companies who sent the message.
How often are new job postings added?
New postings are added on an ongoing basis. Postings are sorted by posted date
with most recent appearing at the top of the list. Another way to keep on top
of new postings is to create a CareerAlert! Under the Search Jobs section,
you may also refine your search by date posted. |
