Searching for a job on the Internet has long been the most common, most convenient and fastest option. For this reason, job search websites have become popular so that we can get in touch with companies that have offers in those positions that interest us. Although most need registration. For this reason, below we explain how you can create an Infojobs account , all the steps we need to register, upload our CV to the website and be able to look for a job using our profile on the web.
If you are looking for a job , creating an Infojobs account is one of the most recommended ways and one of the most common, so we explain what you must fill in, how to do it, what steps we must follow as a plaintiff or applicant, how we can tell about our previous experience, our studies, what languages we speak or what skills or abilities we have.
What is it and what is it for
Infojobs is a web page or online tool that allows us to search for a job. It is a platform to connect people looking for work and companies that offer work. We can access as a candidate or as a company depending on what we are looking for at any given time or what our “role” is.
From the main page of the web we can search for offers by type of employment, position, company or by keyword. We simply go to the main page of the tool and to the box “I am looking for offers from…” Here we must enter the keyword that interests us. For example, I look for engineer jobs or I look for waiter jobs. In addition, we have to fill in the country or city that interests us. We can choose “all of Spain” or a specific city, but you can also choose “abroad” if we don’t mind traveling and want to go further.
Also from the “home” we can see a series of sections of “leading” companies. That is, popular companies or businesses that offer jobs available in all cities. It can be a supermarket chain like Lidl or Aldi or Mercadona or other companies like BBVA, PWC, Indra…
How to create an account
To be able to access it is mandatory to be registered, we cannot look for a job if we do not previously have an account made in Infojobs and, for this, we need to fill in all our personal data, as well as our updated CV.
To do this, the first thing we must do is go to the website and touch the upper right corner to choose “candidate access”. Here it will take us to a page that allows us to log in or asks us if we are new, along with a “register” button that allows us to create our CV from scratch and register .
Here we will have to follow the different steps. The first is the personal data where we must fill in the most basic: name, first surname, email and password. We fill in, accept legal conditions and click on “next” to continue creating an account as a user of the tool.
The following section will ask us for more personal data:
- Date of birth
- gender (optional)
- Phone number
- You live in Spain?
- Postal Code
- Province
- Population
As in the previous case, we tap on “ Next ” and we can continue filling in all the data until we create our Infojobs account to be able to look for a job.
Then we must fill in a series of questions related to the professional field: Are you working now? Have you worked before? If you answer “ yes ” to each question, we will have to specify in which company, in which job position, what knowledge and technologies are applied and when you started. Or when you finished in case you have already finished the job in that specific company.
As we fill in, we have to talk about other aspects as well. Point 4 is “studies”, if you have them. You have to specify what studies you have: the level, the center, when you started and when you finished. Once you have it, click on “Save” and we will have created our profile correctly.
Customize your profile completely
As you will see on the next screen, they will send you a verification email that allows you to verify your account and access your profile where you can see active applications, new offers, finish filling in your data… Once we have confirmed the verification email, we go to the main page and we will see “My CV” from where we can fill in much more data than in the previous section. We can add a native language, add all the experience, upload a new resume…
In the profile we will find “My personal data” at the top. Tap on “Edit” to modify any data: name, surname, date of birth, email, mobile phone. And click here to add a picture to your profile.
Once we have it, we keep going down. The next thing we see is “experience” and we should fill it in every time we have a new job or change jobs. We simply have to touch “Add experience” and add the jobs we have or have had. You must fill in company, sector, position, start date and end date, level, category, subcategory, job description, knowledge and technology, salary you received (optional) and we can mark different checks as we want: “I don’t want companies can see my salary” / “I don’t want companies to see this experience”. When you have it, tap on “save” so that the position is added to the Infojobs experience. Repeat the process as many times as necessary to add all of your previous jobs.
We can also add our studies in case you haven’t done it before. You can add the title you want whether you have forgotten it or if you are going to enter your profile to edit it in a few months. We must fill in the title, start date and end date, center (optional) and mark or not “I do not want companies to see these studies”. Finally we complete with the “save” button.
On the left side of the screen of our Infojobs profile we see that we can add a series of “ extra ” data. We can add knowledge, languages, employment status or other data. You simply have to choose the one you want to add this information to your profile. In the case of language, for example, we choose the language and the level. We can also add comments like if we have an associated certificate, for example.
Or we can add knowledge about everything we know how to do: customer service, use of photo and video editing tools, Microsoft Excel, social networks, SEO and SEM. We add the knowledge and choose between different levels: low, medium and high. We repeat the process by touching “save” each time.
Finally, we can add “CV in text”. That is, you can write a text that talks about your work experience , about relevant information for companies or data that can be useful beyond everything you have written in other fields. We can talk about what we’re good at, where we’re willing to work, whether or not we have a driver’s license, whether we’re immediately available, or what we’ve done in other previous jobs. There is no word limit so you can write what you need and add it to your Infojobs profile.
Also on the left side of your profile you will find other options such as uploading a new CV or creating a new cover letter. Infojobs allows us to create a CV according to different fields. For example, if you are a journalist but you are also a publicist, companies with experience may not be important indistinctly, but in one of them you can put advertising agencies while in others you can put websites or media in which you have written.
Other aspects of Infojobs: Offers, profiles, jobs
Beyond creating our profile in Infojobs we can go to the top of the screen where we can see who sees you. The “who sees me” section tells us which companies have entered our profile in the last two weeks to get an idea of who is interested in what we do, for example.
Also at the top of the screen we can see other sections such as “jobs” or “my offers” where we can sign up for all kinds of offers that interest us using the web page search engine. You use the search engine, you see the offers you are interested in and in them you will see the button “register me for this offer”. You may have to fill out a questionnaire and it will eventually be added to this section.
