Saved Jobs - Help

What is Saved Jobs?

Saved Jobs is a tool that lets you gather jobs in one place for future reference; be it jobs that take your fancy while you’re searching or those you’ve applied for already. It’s a quick and easy way to develop a list of your favourite jobs that you can view at any time.

When you’ve finished searching you can go into your Saved Jobs and read about the jobs you’ve collected. You might choose to apply for some or perhaps delete others. You can even add notes to individual jobs to help remind you who you spoke to, questions you’d like to ask and other important details.

Saved Jobs is a member service brought to you by Fairfax Digital - Australia’s premier network of over 30 news and classifieds sites including the websites of The Age, Sydney Morning Herald, Australian Financial Review, BRW, Domain and Drive. When you register as a Fairfax Digital member you can take advantage of Saved Jobs, access articles on our news sites and many more exclusive member services.
