Q: What happens when I apply online for a job that's posted on Tunneljobs.com?

A: Employers receive your CV and cover letter (if you included one) via email and also within their applicant tracking folders on Tunneljobs.com. You will receive a confirmation email from Tunneljobs.com stating that your CV was sent successfully. You may also receive an email from the Employer confirming the receipt of your CV. Please note that some Employers and Recruiters may not respond immediately to your CV submission.
After you apply for a job, your complete application is then listed on your Apply History page and can be tracked from there.
Note: Some employers use the Apply button to take you directly to their company website. For those job applications, and for applications that you send directly to the company via email, fax, or postal mail, a record of the application will not show up on your Apply History page.

Q: Why should I create a cover letter?

A:
A cover letter lets you call attention to your unique skills or an unusual job history. You can also emphasise your work experience more concisely in a cover letter. You can create a cover letter on the Cover Letter Builder page (or click Cover Letter under Profile & CV on your Tunneljobs.com homepage navigation bar). You can customise your letter later, when you apply for a job. Not sure what to write? Use one of the cover letter templates on the Cover Letter Builder page.

Q: Why didn't I receive a response when I applied online?

A:
Each company has its own method for evaluating CVs. A small company may send a personalised response indicating that your CV was received. Many larger companies have automated email replies. Some companies do not acknowledge the receipt of a CV unless they want to initiate the interview process.

Q: How can I apply for a job that doesn't include an Apply link and has no contact information?

A:
Contact Us with the following information about the job posting: the URL (complete webpage address), the name of the company posting the job, the title of the job, the location of the job, and your contact information. We'll need to contact the company so they can update the job posting to include an apply method.

Q: How can I track the jobs I've applied for?

A:
Click the Jobs tab in the main navigation bar. Click Apply History in the dropdown menu. You'll see the jobs you've applied for in the past 18 months. Your Apply History is also available on the Jobs landing page and in your Tunneljobs.com homepage widgets.

Q: Can I apply for the same job more than once?

A:
No. Once you've applied for a job, you won't be able to apply for that job again.
