Below are a series of articles that describe in detail how to use the various parts of the JDA website.
1. Applying for Jobs
There are two direct ways to apply to a job advertisement. One is to click the apply now link in the job and the other is to click the Apply Now button at the bottom of the job ad. Both of these options will take you to the application form and the job number will automatically be filled in.
There is an option for you to apply to multiple jobs at once. If when browsing you see a job ad that you are interested in you can click on the check box at the top of the ad. This will add the job to your application list. If you have finished searching for jobs click on the Apply now link/ button of the last job you want to apply for and you will be taken to the application screen with all of the job codes filled in. Note: You can only apply for up to 5 jobs at once using this method.
