Quick Job Search

All live vacancies on the CTP database are searchable on RightJob. There is a quick job search box on the home page which allows you to search for vacancies using any/all of the following criteria:

  • Sector - from a drop down list
  • Locations - Regions selected from a drop down list
  • Job Type - Permanent, Contract or Both
  • Salary Range - type in the amount (e.g. 20000 without £ or commas)
  • Keywords - can be used to refine a search
  • Reference - each job has a unique ID number so that you can find it quickly.

After selecting your categories press the Search button to run the search. A list of jobs that match the search criteria will be displayed. You can click on any of the job titles to view more details, including a job description or you can make an application by using the apply button. Results can be sorted in many different ways by using the 'Sort by' drop down menu.  The number of jobs found is shown at the top of the search.

The bottom panel on the home page shows the following:

  • Live Applications - details of jobs that you have applied for.
  • Invitations - details of jobs which you have been invited to apply for by an employer. 
  • My Job Basket - jobs that you have stored for further consideration.
  • Rejections - details of jobs rejected by you, or where an employer has rejected you.

Applying for vacancies

There are three different ways to apply for a vacancy on RightJob; submitting a CV via the website, requesting an application pack, or via a web link directly to the company's website.  It is the employer who determines which method is used and this will be indicated to you once you click the apply button.

If applying by CV there are 3 stages to your application.
 
1. Covering letter - You will need to enter text to create your covering letter.  Ensure that spelling and grammar is correct by using the on-line spell checker. 
2. Attach a CV to your application - You will be asked to select either one of your pre-saved CVs or to upload a new tailored CV.
3. Send application - By clicking on 'Apply' your application will be sent to the employer.

Any job applications you make through RightJob are visible in Live Applications on your home page. From here you can keep track of the vacancy or withdraw your application at any point up to the closing date.
