CalJOBS^SM

CalJOBS^SM is EDD’s no-fee Internet job search system, available through any personal computer with access to the Internet. CalJOBS^SM provides a connection between job seekers and employers. Job seekers can enter their skills and experience into a résumé database to match with job openings listed in CalJOBS^SM by employers.

How CalJOBS^SM Works

Job seekers can reach CalJOBS^SM from a home computer or from one of the many EDD Job Service locations and One-Stop Career Centers throughout California, and from Internet computers in many public offices and libraries.

The job seeker first enters some basic identification data, work history, and occupational objectives. Then, following the on-screen prompts, builds an occupational code based on skills and experience. This résumé is filed in the system and can be updated by the job seeker at any time.

Job seeker résumés are stored in a data base that employers can search to find qualified employees. Job seekers can search the data base of employer job listings to find suitable jobs.

For most job openings listed in CalJOBS^SM, instructions are given on how to contact the employer directly. Qualified job seekers can make the choice of which job to apply for. The job seeker has the choice of making the résumé available for employers on line, or e-mailing it directly to selected employers.

For some job openings, employers have requested EDD Job Service's assistance in identifying and referring qualified applicants. To assist the employer, EDD staff search the job seeker résumés in CalJOBS^SM and contact those who meet the employer’s requirements to discuss the job duties and give referral instructions.

Personal information entered into CalJOBS^SM is secured by a user identification and password system. Information entered into CalJOBS^SM remains in the control of the user and will not be sold or otherwise distributed.
