That means you will 9 00:00:51.330 --> 00:00:56.820 only need one username and password in the future. If you 10 00:00:56.820 --> 00:01:01.320 already had an ALEXSYS account, the first time you log in to 11 00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.530 Alaska jobs, you will have to go through a verification 12 00:01:04.530 --> 00:01:08.550 process that matches what you put in the boxes.

If you are having any difficulty with the 45 00:03:46.110 --> 00:03:50.280 verification process or the new account creation process, 46 00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:57.360 please contact Job Center staff.

Instead open a new window to check your email for the 56 00:04:38.790 --> 00:04:44.340 code. Check your junk or spam folders. If you do not get the 57 00:04:44.340 --> 00:04:47.760 email with the verification code, please contact your local 58 00:04:47.760 --> 00:04:50.970 Job Center and they will be able to provide you with the 59 00:04:50.970 --> 00:04:51.510 code. 60 00:04:55.740 --> 00:05:01.140 Congratulations you are logged in when you see Welcome to my 61 00:05:01.140 --> 00:05:05.220 individual workspace with your name at the top you are 62 00:05:05.220 --> 00:05:09.390 logged in and all your login information is merged to my 63 00:05:09.390 --> 00:05:13.710 Alaska.

You 70 00:05:47.400 --> 00:05:51.600 can find your way around this website in three ways. By 71 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:56.040 opening the menu links on the left side of the screen, using 72 00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:00.510 the services for individuals on the top of the screen, or 73 00:06:00.540 --> 00:06:08.580 using the links on your dashboard. Now that you're logged 74 00:06:08.580 --> 00:06:11.550 into your account, let's show you how you can access your 75 00:06:11.550 --> 00:06:16.740 resumes. You can access old resumes from Alexis or create 76 00:06:16.740 --> 00:06:24.210 new resumes or upload resumes you have already created. What 77 00:06:24.210 --> 00:06:28.320 is a resume? On this slide we have a definition of a resume 78 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:33.060 and the goal of a resume. This is a good reference slide for 79 00:06:33.060 --> 00:06:37.140 when you are building resumes. If you need additional 80 00:06:37.140 --> 00:06:40.710 assistance with your resume, please contact your local Job 81 00:06:40.710 --> 00:06:43.740 Center to learn about their resume workshop. 82 00:06:59.590 --> 00:07:04.330 To view edit, create or download your resume, you're going 83 00:07:04.330 --> 00:07:08.470 to select resume builder under the quick menu from the left 84 00:07:08.470 --> 00:07:17.080 side menu. If your past resumes are not showing, you can 85 00:07:17.080 --> 00:07:21.880 change this drop down to save you all resumes and this will 86 00:07:21.880 --> 00:07:27.430 show all your past resumes in the system. To create a new 87 00:07:27.430 --> 00:07:31.750 resume, you can click on the plus button on the left above 88 00:07:31.750 --> 00:07:38.350 create new resume. After you click the plus in the Create 89 00:07:38.350 --> 00:07:44.020 new resume box, this will be the next screen. Here is where 90 00:07:44.020 --> 00:07:47.620 you will put the title of your resume. Your title will be 91 00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:50.830 searchable by employers so you want to name it after the 92 00:07:50.830 --> 00:07:55.510 jobs you're applying for. resumes are living documents, so 93 00:07:55.510 --> 00:07:58.780 it's best to name your resumes based on your job searches. 94 00:07:58.780 --> 00:08:02.350 For example, retail jobs have different minimum 95 00:08:02.350 --> 00:08:05.800 qualifications than accounting jobs. So you would want to 96 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.760 have a separate resume for each type of job and title it 97 00:08:09.790 --> 00:08:14.920 accordingly. Next, you're going to choose the way you will 98 00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:19.000 begin the new resume. You can begin a new resume using the 99 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:24.670 resume builder by choosing comprehensive or you can upload a 100 00:08:24.670 --> 00:08:28.810 Word or PDF resume you've already created. Or you can 101 00:08:28.840 --> 00:08:37.690 duplicate a resume that is already in Alaska jobs. The next 102 00:08:37.690 --> 00:08:41.140 step in creating a new resume is to choose if the resume 103 00:08:41.140 --> 00:08:46.180 will be online and viewable by employers or not. Having your 104 00:08:46.180 --> 00:08:50.140 resume online can help with your job search and it is a 105 00:08:50.140 --> 00:08:58.960 requirement for unemployment benefits. The next step will be 106 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:03.220 to choose your template for the resume from the styles 107 00:09:03.250 --> 00:09:08.410 provided. If you want to edit a template, click on the gear 108 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:16.870 icon on the top right of the template page. When you click 109 00:09:16.870 --> 00:09:21.130 on the gear icon, on the template you want to enter to edit 110 00:09:21.430 --> 00:09:25.870 your offer to the menu in this red box. Click on Edit to get 111 00:09:25.870 --> 00:09:31.000 to the blue box on the right of the slide. You'll be able to 112 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:34.630 select what sections of the template you want to be included 113 00:09:34.630 --> 00:09:38.980 on your resume by using the boxes in the display column on 114 00:09:38.980 --> 00:09:44.530 the right in the blue box. You can change the layout of the 115 00:09:44.530 --> 00:09:50.890 resume by using the reorder arrows in the middle and you can 116 00:09:50.890 --> 00:09:55.840 personalize these section titles. For example, you could 117 00:09:55.840 --> 00:10:01.060 change the section titled objective to a section title goals 118 00:10:01.090 --> 00:10:09.580 instead. Any information from your personal profile and your 119 00:10:09.580 --> 00:10:15.520 employment profile will pre populate on your resume. To edit 120 00:10:15.520 --> 00:10:19.390 any section of the resume, click anywhere in the box that 121 00:10:19.390 --> 00:10:23.440 you want to update, or you can click on the gear icon at the 122 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:31.240 top of the resume to hide sections completely. When you 123 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.980 click on your resume to edit it, either a text box will pop 124 00:10:35.980 --> 00:10:41.290 up, or a past history box will pop up. You can add 125 00:10:41.290 --> 00:10:45.580 information, change information, hide information or delete 126 00:10:45.580 --> 00:10:53.800 information. below your resume, you can scroll to the 127 00:10:53.830 --> 00:10:58.660 additional employer searchable items section where you can 128 00:10:58.660 --> 00:11:03.370 put in your desired occupation, desired salary, location, 129 00:11:03.610 --> 00:11:07.750 hours, skills, and so on. This information helps you get 130 00:11:08.050 --> 00:11:12.400 more defined job search results, and also can assist 131 00:11:12.400 --> 00:11:14.440 employers in finding your resume. 132 00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:22.630 You might have a resume you have already completed outside 133 00:11:22.630 --> 00:11:27.610 of Alaska jobs. You can upload a resume by selecting upload 134 00:11:27.640 --> 00:11:30.310 in the resume creation methods screen. 135 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.550 On the next page, you'll make three choices. Content 136 00:11:39.580 --> 00:11:44.650 extraction is whether you will upload a word or a PDF or 137 00:11:44.680 --> 00:11:49.360 whether you will copy and paste the information. Content 138 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.380 display means what will an employer see if they click on 139 00:11:53.380 --> 00:11:57.520 your resume? Do you want your resume to stay in a PDF or 140 00:11:57.520 --> 00:12:01.810 Word document when an employer views your resume? Or do you 141 00:12:01.810 --> 00:12:06.160 want it to be converted to the Alaska jobs resume format. 142 00:12:07.930 --> 00:12:12.610 extraction method asks if you will review your uploaded 143 00:12:12.610 --> 00:12:16.960 information now or later. We do recommend that you review 144 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.260 your extracted employment and education history from your 145 00:12:20.260 --> 00:12:24.910 uploaded resume so that you can update your skills on your 146 00:12:24.910 --> 00:12:32.950 profile. If you do choose to extract your information, you 147 00:12:32.950 --> 00:12:36.670 will be given these steps to personalize the information as 148 00:12:36.670 --> 00:12:41.200 well as the format seen by employers. The system will 149 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.010 interpret your uploaded document and you can check to see 150 00:12:45.010 --> 00:12:48.190 that everything is the way you want it to be or you can 151 00:12:48.190 --> 00:12:52.000 enter your information using copy and paste by clicking 152 00:12:52.030 --> 00:13:01.240 click here.

If you have difficulties with uploading your resume, you 156 00:13:16.930 --> 00:13:24.250 can contact your job center for assistance. Now that you're 157 00:13:24.250 --> 00:13:28.600 logged in, and you know how to set your resume or resumes to 158 00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:35.290 the way you want them, it's time to search for jobs. From 159 00:13:35.290 --> 00:13:38.650 the homepage, you can search for jobs without being logged 160 00:13:38.650 --> 00:13:42.250 in. There are some limitations to a guest search and we'll 161 00:13:42.250 --> 00:13:47.020 go over those now. If you select find a job here without 162 00:13:47.020 --> 00:13:50.860 being logged in, you will be taken to this next screen. 163 00:13:52.090 --> 00:13:56.590 Here, you can create a more detailed search by selecting the 164 00:13:56.590 --> 00:14:02.110 different tabs shown across the top.
