Hello, everyone, welcome to our Alaska jobs navigation
PowerPoint. Here we will show you some of the many features
of the Alaska job site and how to use those features. This
PowerPoint shows step by step screenshots on how to log in
and navigate the Alaska jobs site. When you create a new
Alaska jobs account, or you activate your old ALEXSYS
account in Alaska jobs, you are linking your Alaska jobs
account with your my Alaska account. That means you will
only need one username and password in the future. If you
already had an ALEXSYS account, the first time you log in to
Alaska jobs, you will have to go through a verification
process that matches what you put in the boxes. With what
you had in your old ALEXSYS account. Please contact your
nearest Job Center if you think your information has changed
since you last updated your old ALEXSYS account. We will
now show you how to log in. To log in you'll go to
jobs.alaska.gov. From there, you can click on the state of
Alaska shape, or you can click on the click to enter Alaska
jobs link. Either link will take you to the Alaska jobs
homepage which is here. From the Alaska jobs homepage, click
login and choose individual. If you're using your smartphone
or tablet, this is what you will see. You can log in or you
can use the other job search features by scrolling down.
When you click on login from the Alaska jobs homepage,
you're going to be taken to my.alaska.gov here. Here you
will log into your my Alaska account. If you don't know your
username, click on the blue line that says forgot my
username. If you don't know your password, click on the blue
line that says forgot my password. If none of that works,
call the my Alaska help desk for assistance. If you do not
have a my Alaska account, you can create one from the login
screen shown here. If this is your first time logging into
Alaska jobs, put your ALEXSYS username and password in these
boxes. But if you're not sure of your username and password,
you can first try the verification process by clicking on
the blue link. The blue link is also where you should click
to create a new account if you never had an ALEXSYS account.
If you clicked on the blue link, you will come to this
screen where the verification process will begin. First
choose the type of user you are. Choose Yes, if you had an
ALEXSYS account, or no to start a new net registration.
Please be aware that you will not be able to complete the
creation of a new account if you have ever had an ALEXSYS
account. If you are having any difficulty with the
verification process or the new account creation process,
please contact Job Center staff. The next screen you will
come to will be this information screen and you want to
provide your information and hit next. If you have an out of
state zip code, please do contact Job Center staff for
assistance. Please keep in mind that the zip code the system
is looking for is your residential or physical zip code. It
is not looking for your mailing zip code if that is a
different zip code. After verifying your information, you
will be asked for a verification code. Do not close this
page. Instead open a new window to check your email for the
code. Check your junk or spam folders. If you do not get the
email with the verification code, please contact your local
Job Center and they will be able to provide you with the
code.
Congratulations you are logged in when you see Welcome to my
individual workspace with your name at the top you are
logged in and all your login information is merged to my
Alaska. This means that you will only need to log in through
the my Alaska from now on. The top blue bar is always
visible when you are logged in. On the left, you can open
the menu by clicking menu. In the middle, you can sign out
return to your dashboard or view services available for
jobseekers. On the right, you can do a quick job search with
keywords or zip codes by selecting the magnifying glass. You
can find your way around this website in three ways. By
opening the menu links on the left side of the screen, using
the services for individuals on the top of the screen, or
using the links on your dashboard. Now that you're logged
into your account, let's show you how you can access your
resumes. You can access old resumes from Alexis or create
new resumes or upload resumes you have already created. What
is a resume? On this slide we have a definition of a resume
and the goal of a resume. This is a good reference slide for
when you are building resumes. If you need additional
assistance with your resume, please contact your local Job
Center to learn about their resume workshop.
To view edit, create or download your resume, you're going
to select resume builder under the quick menu from the left
side menu. If your past resumes are not showing, you can
change this drop down to save you all resumes and this will
show all your past resumes in the system. To create a new
resume, you can click on the plus button on the left above
create new resume. After you click the plus in the Create
new resume box, this will be the next screen. Here is where
you will put the title of your resume. Your title will be
searchable by employers so you want to name it after the
jobs you're applying for. resumes are living documents, so
it's best to name your resumes based on your job searches.
For example, retail jobs have different minimum
qualifications than accounting jobs. So you would want to
have a separate resume for each type of job and title it
accordingly. Next, you're going to choose the way you will
begin the new resume. You can begin a new resume using the
resume builder by choosing comprehensive or you can upload a
Word or PDF resume you've already created. Or you can
duplicate a resume that is already in Alaska jobs. The next
step in creating a new resume is to choose if the resume
will be online and viewable by employers or not. Having your
resume online can help with your job search and it is a
requirement for unemployment benefits. The next step will be
to choose your template for the resume from the styles
provided. If you want to edit a template, click on the gear
icon on the top right of the template page. When you click
on the gear icon, on the template you want to enter to edit
your offer to the menu in this red box. Click on Edit to get
to the blue box on the right of the slide. You'll be able to
select what sections of the template you want to be included
on your resume by using the boxes in the display column on
the right in the blue box. You can change the layout of the
resume by using the reorder arrows in the middle and you can
personalize these section titles. For example, you could
change the section titled objective to a section title goals
instead. Any information from your personal profile and your
employment profile will pre populate on your resume. To edit
any section of the resume, click anywhere in the box that
you want to update, or you can click on the gear icon at the
top of the resume to hide sections completely. When you
click on your resume to edit it, either a text box will pop
up, or a past history box will pop up. You can add
information, change information, hide information or delete
information. below your resume, you can scroll to the
additional employer searchable items section where you can
put in your desired occupation, desired salary, location,
hours, skills, and so on. This information helps you get
more defined job search results, and also can assist
employers in finding your resume.
You might have a resume you have already completed outside
of Alaska jobs. You can upload a resume by selecting upload
in the resume creation methods screen.
On the next page, you'll make three choices. Content
extraction is whether you will upload a word or a PDF or
whether you will copy and paste the information. Content
display means what will an employer see if they click on
your resume? Do you want your resume to stay in a PDF or
Word document when an employer views your resume? Or do you
want it to be converted to the Alaska jobs resume format.
extraction method asks if you will review your uploaded
information now or later. We do recommend that you review
your extracted employment and education history from your
uploaded resume so that you can update your skills on your
profile. If you do choose to extract your information, you
will be given these steps to personalize the information as
well as the format seen by employers. The system will
interpret your uploaded document and you can check to see
that everything is the way you want it to be or you can
enter your information using copy and paste by clicking
click here. The next step to upload the resume is to click
Choose File and then select the folder where your resume is
located. Then select the document and click Open to upload
it. If you have difficulties with uploading your resume, you
can contact your job center for assistance. Now that you're
logged in, and you know how to set your resume or resumes to
the way you want them, it's time to search for jobs. From
the homepage, you can search for jobs without being logged
in. There are some limitations to a guest search and we'll
go over those now. If you select find a job here without
being logged in, you will be taken to this next screen.
Here, you can create a more detailed search by selecting the
different tabs shown across the top. Some tabs only work
when you're logged in. For example, the resume tab and the
skills tab require you to be logged in. Your search will
provide job postings such as this one. To view the job
details you can select the blue job title. The next page
will give you job description minimum qualifications as well
as information on how to apply but to get the additional
information you will first have to log in. When you click on
Apply. You'll be taken to a login page first. Once you are
logged in the How to Apply button will bring you to this
screen where you can find out the different methods to apply
for the job. If the job application process is to apply at a
website, you would now be directed to that website.
If you are logged in already before you begin your job
search Alaska jobs will show you how well your skills and
past employment history match the requirements listed in the
job posting in these graphics circles on the right. If you
have not created a resume yet, the results in the circles
will be blank. The self assessment profile can be found in
my portfolio under my individual profiles. Here is the self
assessment profile link. You'll be able to update your
skills using these tabs. Having a detailed profile with your
current skills can help personalize your job searches
accurately show when you meet minimum qualifications and
better match your saved virtual job alerts. on the
dashboard, the How can we help you tab provides job matches
related based on details from your resume, excuse me. You
can also access the get recruited and be proactive resources
to set up virtual job search alerts. There are resources for
training options as well as tools for assessing current
labor market trends in the industries that interest you.
From the how we can help you tab you can click on the get
recruited and be proactive tab and then click on create a
virtual recruiter automated job search found here at the red
arrow so that you can set job alerts. At the bottom of your
job search screen, you will see save this job search. If you
click on the Save search button, you will create a virtual
recruiter which means you can set job search alerts. The
virtual recruiter is a way you can set the system to send
you alerts when jobs are posted that match the criteria that
you set for the job search. To save this recruiter, give
your search a title. tell it how often to alert you and how
you can choose email alerts or internal messages. And you
will tell the virtual recruiter when to stop alerting you.
The information under search criteria information will be
whatever information you put in for this particular job
search. You can also track your job searches with Alaska
jobs. Under my individual plans, select job applications.
here this will show you the jobs who have applied for on
Alaska jobs. Or you can add offline job applications you
have submitted to keep track of your job search attempts
that are not on Alaska jobs. By adding offline job
applications, you can document where you applied the title
of the job and who you spoke to. This helps you see where
you've applied and how long it's been since you heard from
that employer. The site might pre populate some businesses
addresses and hiring managers contact information in these
forms. Servicing Alaska jobs provides services excuse me,
