To invite a job seeker to apply for one of your open positions just search through the resumes of job seekers to find one that meets your criteria.

Your resume(s)
 

You can manage the resumes that you have created by using the links next to the resume. The following describes what each link does.

  • view - This link brings you to the view resume page. This is what the resume will look like to employers if you have made your resume searchable. (Employers will not see your personal information until you have applied to one of their open positions.)
  • edit - This link brings you to the resume so you can make changes.
  • delete - This will delete the resume. You will be asked to confirm whether you want to delete the resume or not.
  • ON/OFF - These links will make your resume searchable by employers. ON makes it searchable. OFF makes it non-searchable. (Your searchable resume will be highlighted green.)

Only one of your resumes can be made searchable at a time. However, you can create up to 5 resumes and apply to open positions with any of the 5.

Invitations sent by employers
 

If you have one of your resumes searchable employers may send you invitations. The invitation will have a link to view the job post that the employer has invited you to apply for. To apply all you have to do is click on the link, look over the job posting to see if it looks like your dream job, select a resume to apply with, and then click apply.

The archive link removes the invitation from MyTeleport and puts it in the invitation archive. You may want to do this if your inbox is filling up or the job invited to apply for has expired or has been filled. You can view your archived invitations at any time by clicking on the view archived invitations link.

Jobs that you have applied for via invitation will show an "applied" logo next to the job position name.

Filled positions will be highlighted in red.

Applications sent to employers
 

Applications that you have sent to employers will list the job name and the name of the resume you used to apply with if any. If you did not apply with a resume, the employer will be able to contact you via email.

You can view the job post or archive the application just as you can with invitations. See Invitations sent by employers.
