Find a live job

Open Jobs / Latest opportunities and choose a job that is still Live.

  1. Go to Jobs or dashboard opportunities.
  2. Open a job that is not expired. Closing date stays open through the full last day.
  3. Jobs marked Recommended for you already matched your profile under the same rules used when you apply.

Check job requirements

Compare the job’s qualification, age, and experience with your profile before clicking Apply.

Qualification

  • Specific Formal / Technical job: your profile must include a matching degree level and degree name (case does not matter; spelling must match the portal list).
  • Any Qualification job: any qualification on your profile is enough — exact degree name is not required.

Experience

  • Min experience = 0: you can apply without adding experience.
  • Min experience > 0: total years on your profile must meet or exceed that number.

Age

  • Age is calculated from your date of birth on personal details.
  • Questionnaire answers may raise the maximum age (age relaxation). Without it, only the job’s base age limits apply.
5

Click Apply

If everything matches, your application is submitted and a confirmation email is sent.

  1. Open the job details page.
  2. Click Apply.
  3. On success, go to Applied Jobs and print your application form if required.
If something does not match, you will see a clear message (qualification, age, experience, missing DOB, or already applied).

After you apply

Track status and keep your profile updated for future openings.

  • Keep qualifications and experience updated.
