Set up a job search account and profile
When to use this goal
For students about to apply online who have never created an account on a job site or employer portal. Present levels in device use, reading and recall of personal information decide the supports; the family is involved in choosing the email and storing passwords.
- Baseline
- Use a practice or demonstration site for the baseline when possible. Note steps where the student gets stuck on site rules (password requirements, verification codes), which may need a separate mini-lesson.
- Tips
- Agree with the family on which email address to use and where passwords are kept; staff never keep the student's passwords. Practice sites let the student repeat the routine without making many real accounts.
- Limits
- Sites differ, so the guide must be rewritten for each one. Real accounts are made only a few times a year.
