Personalising Gradcracker
The My Gradcracker Dashboard
Here you can select the disciplines you are interested in and Follow your favourite employers to give you a news page with all the information you need. You can receive live feeds and alerts and create a personalised news feed.
My Gradcracker is also available as a mobile app which you can download, free of charge, from the App Store or Google Play. This is a great way to stay organised and up-to-date with all your favourite employers whilst on the move.
Follow Feature
The Follow feature on Gradcracker allows you to keep up-to-date with all of a company's latest content and opportunities. We will alert you to any news from your 'followed' companies so you'll never miss out on the perfect role for you. Employers on Gradcracker can see who 'follows' them when searching our CV database.
Job Diary & Notes
Here you can manage and record your job applications. Whenever you are about to apply for a position on gradcracker.com you will be given the option to 'Save to Job Diary'. The employer, position and date will automatically be recorded. You will also have the facility to add any research or notes.
My CV
Every employer who advertises on Gradcracker can access our database of CVs. By uploading your CV, you will give those employers a chance to find out about you! If you are 'following' that company, they will be able to see that you are particularly interested in working for them.
My Key Competences
Most companies will have a list of key personal attributes (or competences) that they will look for when interviewing candidates for placement or graduate opportunities.
The 'My Key Competences' area lists some of the more typical ones which we suggest you complete with some examples of how you have displayed these competences in your own life.
Other Relevant Opportunities
Here we show you the latest opportunities, relevant to you discipline, from employers you have yet to Follow.
