Q. How do I use Osprey Careers?
A. Well you have two options on how to find a job using the Osprey Careers service. You can do a quick search for jobs by typing in the key words (usually the job type or title that you are looking for) and selecting a city to search in and click the search button. All of this is found on the main page of the Osprey Careers site. Your second option is to create an account and register with the Osprey Careers site.

Q. I'm an employer, how do I get an access code?
A. The access code is issued to a person or company that places an advertisement for help wanted in certain Osprey Media newspapers. The access code will be issued to you when you place your ad. You can then use your access code to set up your Osprey Careers Employer account. Locate an Osprey Newspaper near you.

Q. Why would I want to create an account?
A. If you create an account with us, you will be able to do much more than just look for a job. You will be able to create a profile that will help you find the job you’re looking for, post several resumes that can be searched by employers who use the site, send messages to prospective employers (and you can even attach your resume to the message), keep a clipboard of possible job prospects, and you can even create Job Alerts which will notify you of jobs that match your search criteria.

Q. OK, sounds great. How do I create an account?
A. On the main page of the site, you will see a red button at the bottom left of the screen. Clicking it will take you through the registration process (which is two simple steps). Make sure that you fill out as much information as possible and as correct as possible. You don’t want to be overlooked by a prospective employer by making a mistake or not filling out a simple field.

Q. Now that I’ve got my account set up what's next?
A. Log into the system with the username and password you created during the registration process. The main navigation menu is on the right side of the screen.

Q. How do I set up my Job Alerts?
A. To set up the job alerts you first need an account (see above for how to register with Osprey Careers). Log into your account and click on the Job Alerts menu option (found on the right side of the screen).

1. First you must turn on the Job Alerts function by changing the option button from Don’t alert me of any jobs to Alert me of jobs in this category.
2. Next click any of the categories that you wish the Job Alert to scan for employment opportunities. You can select more than one category.
3. If you wish to find jobs in a specific city or cities, click the check box for the cities that you wish to look at. If you do not select a city, the Job Alert system will look at all cities for you.
4. Next select the type of work that you are looking for in the last section.
   NOTE: You must choose at least one option in this listing.
5. Click the Update Career Preferences button at the bottom of the screen and your Job Alerts will be saved in the system. Any new jobs that match the criteria you selected will be displayed in the Job Alerts section of your Osprey Careers account.

Q. What if I need more help than this?
A. You can contact us with any questions or problems you have regarding the site by clicking on the Contact Us link, found on the left side of the screen. Fill out the form and once it is submitted, we will address any problems that you may be having.
