‘My Broadcast’ is your own personal home page on this site. It is essentially your own career network, incorporating your own jobsite. You will be able to manage all your information from there.
You will need to ensure cookies are enabled on your computer. Cookies are small files that are stored by this site and other websites on your computer. They allow us to remember your preferences and will mean that you will need to enter your password less often. They also allow you to use certain features on this site. Enabling cookies explains how.
Once cookies are enabled, ‘My Broadcast’ is the page that will appear when you go to the site. If you are using a different computer (such as a friend’s or public terminal) it will not have your cookies enabled and you will need to login each time to see your ‘My Broadcast’ page.

My Job Alerts
This site has a highly advanced Job Alerts. Our philosophy is to make life easy for you, and as such we will not send you daily job emails listing hundreds of links to jobs that might match you. Our intuitive job feed keeps track of when you were last at your own job site and tells you how many new jobs there are since your last visit. Simple isn’t it? You can set up to 10 feeds with one primary feed.
My Shortlist
You can shortlist jobs as you search that you might want to look at more closely or even apply for later. It is essentially like a shopping trolley that you use to collect interesting jobs or jobs that might be worth applying for along the way. You are also able to keep notes against each job you have shortlisted.
My Resume
We recommend that you upload a number of different resumes, just in case you need different versions, for example, a detailed resume, a short resume etc. You can upload resume’s in PDF, Word or any other recognised format. We also recommend that you take the time to complete an on-line resume. This will allow you to capture your information in a format that is readily searchable by advertisers.
My Documents
We
recommend that you upload a number of different cover letters for you to access at any point in time. Other documents can also be housed such as follow up letters, copies of your qualifications, references etc.
My Tags
We recommends that you create tags for you to be known as. This will give you another dimension through which you can search for jobs. ‘Tagging’ makes it easy for other people to find you too including potential employers. Your tags are the simplest way to describe yourself in ‘My Broadcast’.
They could be skills (.net, JAVA), industries (FMCG, Advertising) or just general tags (leader, guru, etc). Candidates can ‘tag’ themselves to make it easier for them to connect with other users. For example, if you are a whiz at developing Web 2.0 sites, you might tag yourself as ‘Web 2.0’. You might be a ‘brand strategist’; maybe your work history included a stint at ‘apple’; ‘goal oriented’ might sum you up best. Whatever tags you think will best sum up your uniqueness, skills, personality or goals, will help you expand your career network.
Tags allow you to connect with people, advertisers or companies through a few relevant words or phrases.
My Picture/Video
We recommend that upload your pictures and videos to show the world what you are about – a great way to convey your energy, enthusiasm, style etc. You can upload your video resume to ‘My Broadcast’ through either uploading your own personal video or by linking to a site that has your videos listed (such as YouTube, Google, Yahoo etc).
My Availability
You can set your availability to suit your circumstances. For example, you may be happily employed, looking to network, looking for a job, contracting but available on X date, etc.
My Links
You are able to add links to ‘My Broadcast’. This allows you to showcase yourself by linking to other sites that have information on you, such as your business, your blog, businesses that you have created, sites showing your work, sites you might have created etc.
My URL
Once you have created ‘My Broadcast’, you have the ability to make it public and pick your own personalised URL.
This allows you to put it on your resume, your business card, send it to potential employers, networks or anyone that you want to share your skills with.
My Notes
Candidate created notes can be used to record information or actions against a particular job. Each note will have a time and date stamp associated with it. Notes can be viewed a number of ways. Either when looking at a particular job in ‘My Shortlist’ (notes will appear at the bottom of each job), or by selecting ‘My Shortlist’ and viewing the shortlisted jobs. You can also select ‘My Notes’ which will display a page with all your notes listed on it.
Notes can only be created against shortlisted jobs. You will need to be logged on to use this feature. ‘My Notes’ are only available to registered members. You are the only one who can see ‘My Notes’ and you are the only one who can edit or delete them.
My Bookmarks
Bookmarks allow you to keep track of advertisers you would like to be associated with. If there is a particularl company that interests you as a potential employer, bookmarking them will give you the ability to see any new job ads that they might post.
Bookmarking could just give you a head start over your competitors for the role.
My Network
