Registration and Login
Once you’ve established a new UC Claim, the process automatically registers you on Alabama JobLink with a rather odd username. Then, you have to create your own password…under government-strict security rules…so many characters, must include numbers, and it must in include special characters. By the time the login is ready, it’s a challenge to remember an odd username and a contrived password.
BUT, once you get logged in, well, I guess, for job hunters who don’t have a lot of experience with OTHER job search sites, the results can be impressive. Just make sure you STILL keep that username and password handy. Not all functions on the site retain the login data, so you may have to type them in again.
So, the account and login process could be better. ...on to the actual job hunt.
Job Search Features
The Find a Job > Quick Job Search feature, lets you use keywords and/or locations to look for job posts.
If you’re looking for a job in specifically skilled manual labor, medical, retail, restaurant, management, part time or seasonal work, Alabama JobBank can help. There are not a lot of opportunities for folks in academics, technology, or specific fields other than those related to industry, medical, or consumer experience (depending on the search area, of course).
Helpful for many, but not all job hunters
For job hunters who are qualified for the majority of local employment opportunities, Alabama JobBank can help. For job hunters qualified for jobs that aren’t typical within the search area, Alabama JobBank can be very frustrating.
If you’re in the group of qualified job hunters for the geographic area, DO use Alabama JobBank. It has a LOT of job leads for you.
If you’re in the group of folks whose qualifications don’t meet the needs of the geographic area, other job search sites (specific to your industry/field/qualifications) will offer better results.
