FAQ Career Portal

I used the Forgot Password feature, and the web page says that it sent me an email, but I never received it

There are several reasons why you might not have received an email:

  • The email may be caught in your spam folder. Please check it to see if you've received the email.
  • You may have entered your username or email address incorrectly. Please check the spelling and try again.
  • You may have entered an email address that we don't have on record or that we haven't associated with your account. Every Career account has only one primary email address associated with it. If you have multiple email addresses, please try a different one.
  • In some cases, for technical or security reasons, we cannot confirm your identity and authorization to access the system.

If the problem persists, please liaise with the HR contact person defined in the vacancy. 

I can't remember my password. How can I retrieve or reset it?

You can regain access to your Career Profile by clicking the "Forgot Password" link on the login page. You will be able to either retrieve or reset your password. If this feature is not available to you, or you don't know where to log in, please inform the HR contact person defined in the vacancy.

How can I verify that my CV has been received?

After submitting your application for a job you should receive an email confirming that your application has been received. Please note you can at all time check the status of your application by clicking on Job Applications.
It may take up to 48 hours for you to receive this message. If, after 48 hours, you have still not received the email confirmation:

  • Check your junk email or spam email folder.
  • Check that the email address that you used for the application process was the correct one.
  • If you are still experiencing issues, please inform the contact person defined in the vacancy.
