Q. How do I create and post a resume on?

[back to top]

A: You can create and post your resume when you create your account and when you apply for a job, or at any other point, by clicking Profile & Resume on the main or by clicking Create Resume on the main Resumes page. There are three ways you can create a resume:

1. Build my resume online (recommended)
   BorelHealth's resume builder is the quickest and most effective way to create your resume online. You can use data that you entered in your Profile to populate your resume or you can create one on your own. When you're done, you can preview you resume and add more information, or you can edit your resume whenever you'd like.



2. Upload my resume
   This option allows you to upload your existing resume so employers can access, view, and print your resume in Word or pdf. If you've already created and saved a Word or pdf version of your resume, this may be the choice for you.
   
   Note: When you upload a resume on BorelHealth, you'll have the option of hiding your contact information, your current employer, and your references from employers conducting resume searches. If you choose this option, make sure you remove this information from your resume text before you upload your resume.



3. Copy & paste my resume
   This option allows you to copy and paste a resume from an existing document. You can copy and paste from a Word or an RTF document and format the resume to fit your style.
   
   Note: When you create a resume on BorelHealth, you'll have the option of hiding your contact information, your current employer, and your references from employers conducting resume searches. If you choose this option, make sure you remove this information from your resume text before you copy and paste it.

Q. How do I add more information to my resume?

[back to top]

A: After you complete the initial resume steps, you can view your posted resume. At this point, you can edit individual sections and add more career-related information. You can update your resume at any time by selecting the desired resume on your Manage Resumes page.

Q. How can I change the contact information on my resume?

[back to top]

A: You can edit contact information anytime if you created a resume using the Upload or the Copy & Paste feature. If you're using the online Resume Builder, you can edit your contact information, with the exception of your name and email address. You have the option of saving this information back to your Profile so your account contains your most-recent contact information.

Q. Who will see my resume?

[back to top]

A: When you create your resume you'll choose a Resume Status, which determines who can see your resume. You have three choices.

• If you select private, your resume will not be seen by employers conducting resume searches. However, you can use your private resume to apply for jobs.



• If you select a resume status of public, employers will be able to find your resume and match you to specific jobs.



• If you select confidential, employers will not see your name, your contact information, your current employer, or your references. If you apply for a job directly to a company via a BorelHealth job posting, the information you've marked as confidential will be visible so the employer can contact you.

Q. How can I increase my resume views?

[back to top]

A: The most effective way to increase your resume views is to include keywords relevant to your target job. When employers search for resumes, they enter keywords that match the background needed for a job. For keyword ideas, look at sample job titles and descriptions to see what words employers are using in their job postings. Also, be specific with the title of your resume. An accurate title will make your resume stand out.

Q. Who is viewing my resume?

[back to top]

A: BorelHealth does not track who views your resume, only the number of times a resume view is requested by an employer. Employers can view your resume when they conduct a resume search (if your resume status is public) and when you use the resume to apply online. In both cases, each time an employer makes a request to view your resume, your resume view number increases.

Q. What happens when I delete a resume?

[back to top]

A: If you delete a resume, it will be permanently deleted. If you delete a resume that you used to apply online for a job or that was searchable, employers, recruiters, and others who have paid for access to the BorelHealth resume database, or have paid to obtain a copy of that database, as well as parties who have otherwise gained access, may have retained a copy of your resume in their own files or databases. BorelHealth is not responsible for the retention, use, or privacy of resumes in these instances.

Q. How do I search for jobs on BorelHealth?

[back to top]

A: You can Search or Browse. When you Search, you use Keyword, Location, Job Title, and other fields to get matching jobs. When you Browse, you see the number of jobs there are for each category you choose, which lets you narrow down your results before you get them.

Q. How can I get more-focused search results?

[back to top]

A: With the Search tool, try changing your keywords, choosing a different but similar category, or changing the radius around the location. You can also sort the results by various fields. When you select a search criterion, the job counter reveals how many jobs there are in that category. Each time you add a different category the count is updated to reflect all selected criteria at that point. Click Search jobs now at any time.

Q. What's the difference between Search and Browse for jobs?

[back to top]

A: When you Search, you use Keyword, Location, Job Title, and other fields to get matching jobs. When you Browse, you see the number of jobs there are for each category you choose, which lets you narrow down your results before you get them. Use Search when you know exactly what you're looking for. Use Browse when you're open to a range of possibilities from your selected criteria.

Q. Why aren't there more results in my search?

[back to top]

A: There might be too many words in the Keywords field. Try single words or different word combinations. Also, expand your Location radius, try a different but similar industry, or rephrase the Job Title.

Q. What is a Saved Search?

[back to top]

A: A Saved Search stores your search criteria. You can then retrieve and run that search whenever you want. After you a save a search, you can set it up to run periodically.

Q. How do I save a job search?

[back to top]

A: On the Advanced Search page, define your search criteria and click 'Save Search'. Log in to your account if you're not already logged in. Give the saved search a name. Choose how often you want to receive email results. Click Save. You can save up to five searches at one time.

Q. What is a job search Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed?

[back to top]

A: RSS is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. If you have the RSS Reader software, you can save your job search as an RSS feed. Then BorelHealth will stream updated results to you via a standard XML feed.

Q. How do I get the RSS software?

[back to top]

A: Feed Reader or News Aggregator software allow you to grab the RSS feeds from various sites and display them for you to read and use. A variety of RSS Readers are available for different platforms. Some popular feed readers include Amphetadesk (Windows, Linux, Mac), FeedReader (Windows), and NewsGator (Windows - integrates with Outlook). There are also a number of web-based feed readers available. My Yahoo, Bloglines, and Google Reader are popular web-based feed readers. Once you have your Feed Reader, it is a matter of finding sites that syndicate content and adding their RSS feed to the list of feeds your Feed Reader checks. Many sites display a small icon with the acronyms RSS, XML, or RDF to let you know a feed is available.

Q. How can I get more information about a job posting?

[back to top]

A: Employers post their own jobs and are responsible for the content. Try getting in touch with the company via their website.

Q. Does BorelHealth ensure that job postings are from reputable healthcare facilities?

[back to top]

A: We want our job seekers to have a safe job search environment. BorelHealth's Terms of Use prohibits the posting of any job opportunity that requires an up-front or periodic payment. However, in special circumstances, such as work-from-home jobs, BorelHealth may allow a company to post opportunities that require an up-front fee. Before doing so, BorelHealth requires these facilities to agree and adhere to a variety of standards and measures designed to protect BorelHealth's job seekers, including clear disclosure of the fees involved and a reasonable refund policy.If it is brought to our attention that a company is not disclosing an up-front fee, or a company asks the job seeker to participate in any fraudulent activity, then BorelHealth will remove these job postings. BorelHealth acts as a venue for employers to post job opportunities and for candidates to post resumes. It's up to the seekers to decide whether they want to pursue a job opportunity, based on their interactions with the company. Consult our Safe Job Search page for more information.

Q. How do I know if a job posting I received via an email is legitimate?

[back to top]

A: BorelHealth is dedicated to providing the safest possible environment for you to search and apply for healthcare jobs. Be wary of email spoofs and phishing. Both practices concern email where the “from” address has been forged to make it appear as if the message came from somewhere, or someone, other than the actual source. Because all companies are susceptible to these scams, you could receive an email that appears to come from a BorelHealth email address or that falsely represents BorelHealth. These emails are usually sent from a general spam email list and not from email addresses stored in a BorelHealth database. These emails do not come from, or through, BorelHealth.
Here are some ways to prevent being lured in by fraudulent email:

Disregard all emails that offer employment opportunities involving money transfers.

• Verify the legitimacy of the email, company, and job opportunity.
• If the email contains a link, don’t use it. Go the company’s website via another method.
• If the email includes a job opportunity, the job should be listed on the company’s website. Call the company directly, using its publicly listed phone number.
• Research the company by conducting an internet search or by using the Better Business Bureau.
• Do not share personal information unless you are confident the other party is who they claim to be. The following information is not collected by BorelHealth and should not be included on your resume:


• Social Security number
• Driver license number
• Bank account information
• Credit card information
• Passwords

Protect yourself from employment-opportunity fraud by looking for these warning signs:

• Email-only communication
• Overly-simplified requirements/qualifications
• Ability to work from home or only for 2-3 hours a day
• Broken English, spelling mistakes, or grammar errors
• Requests for bank account information or Social Security number
• Management of monetary transactions
• Repackaging or reshipping from your own home
• Compensation based on using funds you withdrew from a banking account

Be wary of any email that asks you to download a tool or update your account or access agreement.
BorelHealth will never send an email requesting that you take these steps or ask you for your account username and password. The precautions listed above will help you evaluate whether an email or job opportunity is legitimate. When in doubt, follow your instincts - if it looks too good to be true, chances are it is. To learn more about email scams, see the Federal Trade Commission's "How Not to Get Hooked by a Phishing Scam," and the Anti-Phishing Working Group.
For more information on Internet security, please consult our Tips for a Safe Job Search.

If you receive an email that appears to be from BorelHealth, and are concerned about its legitimacy, please Contact Us. Providing us with a detailed description of the email will help us prevent similar fraud in the future.

Q. What happens when I apply online for a job that's posted on BorelHealth?

[back to top]

A: Employers receive your resume and cover letter (if you included one) via email and also within their applicant tracking folders on BorelHealth. You will receive a confirmation email from BorelHealth stating that your resume was sent successfully. You may also receive an email from the Employer confirming the receipt of your resume. Please note that some Employers and Recruiters may not respond immediately to your resume submission. After you apply for a job, your complete application is then listed on your Apply History page and can be tracked from there.

Note: Some employers use their own Apply button to take you directly to their company website. For those job applications, and for applications that you send directly to the company via email, fax, or postal mail, a record of the application will not show up on your Apply History page.

Q. Do I need to have a BorelHealth member account to apply for jobs?

[back to top]

A: Yes. It's fast and easy, though, and can be done as part of your first job application! Click Apply and enter your email address and a password. Then you can complete your job application. Plus, you'll have access to all of BorelHealth's job search! Or you can Become a Member now.

Q. Do I need a resume to apply to a job posting?

[back to top]

A: Yes, you will need to include a resume when you apply online. You can create your resume as part of your first job application. When you click Apply on a job posting, you'll have an opportunity to create and include a resume using one of these methods:

1. uploading your current resume from your computer
2. copying and pasting your current resume
3. building a new resume from scratch using the BorelHealth Resume Builder tools.

Q. Why should I create a cover letter?

[back to top]

A: A cover letter lets you call attention to your unique skills or an unusual job history. You can also emphasize your work experience more concisely in a cover letter.

Q. Why didn't I receive a response when I applied online?

[back to top]

A: Each facility has its own method for evaluating resumes. A small facility may send a personalized response indicating that your resume was received. Many larger companies have automated email replies. Some companies do not acknowledge the receipt of a resume unless they want to initiate the interview process.

Q. What Internet browsers does BorelHealth support?

[back to top]

Q. Why am I having problems accessing certain pages on the site?

[back to top]

A: To maximize performance, BorelHealth passes information to and from your computer on a regular basis. Some site features (e.g., account login, saving jobs) may not function correctly when there is Internet security or firewall software running on your computer. Your software (e.g., browser, pop-up blocker, firewall) will likely have settings that allow you to specify certain blocked information can be passed from our site. The settings to investigate are cookie blocking, ad blocking, and blocking of referrer information. For assistance, contact the support department for the software in question.

Q. Why doesn't the link you sent me in an email work?

[back to top]

A: Check to see if your browser is receiving the entire link we provided. Sometimes, if the URL is too long, your email program may display it on two lines, and the second line is not sent to your browser. If that's the case, copy (CTRL + C; CMD + C for Macs) and paste (CTRL + V; CMD + V for Macs) the complete URL into the address bar of your browser.

If this doesn't work, please contact us with us much of the following information as possible: first name, last name, street address, city, state, country, ZIP code, and phone number.
