Job Applications and Job Searches - The Basics
Before a client can indicate their Job Industries of interest in the Employment tab, an Agency Administrator must first establish Job Industries via Agency Admin → Intake Fields.
Job Searches and Applications are available in the Employment tab under the Job Searches toggle:

Job Applications (not linked to a Job Search) are managed in a separate section from Job Searches. Navigate between the two sections using the toggle buttons located below the filter bar:

Applications
The Applications section enables navigators to document clients' submitted job applications and the status of each application: Applied, Interviewed, and Hired. In each application, navigators can enter additional information about the job: Position, Type (full time, part time, or temporary), and the employer's contact information.

As the client continues their job search, the progression of each Job Application can be tracked by updating its status. When the Hired application status is selected, an Employment will be automatically generated using the information that was entered in the job application.

Job Searches
Job Searches is an optional feature that makes it easy to track clients' goals while seeking employment within specific industries. Job Searches document which industry or industries a client is interested in and their desired wage range.

Multiple applications can be linked to a Job Search, which can help keep employment seeking more organized. Each Job Search can be updated with three statuses:
- Active - indicates an ongoing job search for that industry
- Complete - indicates that the client was successful in obtaining a job within that industry
- Unsuccessful - indicates that the client was not successful in obtaining a job within that industry

Job Applications Page

The Job Applications page contains a filter bar and a table that displays all documented job applications.
Filter Bar

filter bar which contains different filters categories. Each category will expand and show different filter options when clicked. When each filter is selected or removed, the table below will display only Applications that match the filter options selected.

Once a filter option is selected, it can be removed by clicking the check box in the drop-down, clicking Clear all in the drop-down, or by clicking the grey rectangle shown under Selected Filters beneath the filter bar.
