Job Seeker FAQ's


Q: I want employers to contact me. Why can’t I leave my contact information in my resume/CV?

A: The ACR Career Center asks you to leave your contact information out of your resume/CV to ensure that your contact information isn't being seen by unwanted persons. Our unique Anonymous Resume System protects your personal information. Employers can review your anonymous resume and then submit a contact request to you with details of their job opening. You then decide whether or not to release your contact information to that employer. This protects you from spam, third parties selling your information, and identity theft.

 

Q: I received a contact request, what are they and how do they work?

A: Contact requests come from ACR Career Center Employers who are interested in your anonymous resume/CV. If you have a public resume on the ACR Career Center it is searchable to employers in the Career Center’s Anonymous Resume Bank. The Career Center acts as a middle man between you and the employer. The employer will detail a position they think you might be fit for in the contact request. It is your responsibility to review the information in the contact request and respond “Contact Me” or “No Thanks” to the request within 14 days of receiving it. By choosing “Contact Me” your name and email address will be released to the employer. 

 

Q: Why does my resume/CV look disorganized and different when I upload it to my Job seeker account?

A: When you upload a document to your account our software isn't looking at the organization and layout of your resume. It is searching for specific information like job titles, dates, and education. The first step in creating your resume on the ACR Career Center asks you to remove any contact information. The reason it may look disorganized is because the software is searching through the information for contact information. On the next page you will see that the software has pulled your information into an organized form. This form is consist for all users and helps Employers search for your resume more easily.
