Registration
In order to register with My searches, you
need to provide the following information:
· Username - this must be between 6 and 20 characters
long including spaces.
· Password - this must be between 6 and 20 characters long
including spaces.
· Repeat password - this must match the password you
provided.
· Password reminder - this should be a word or phrase that
will help you remember your password e.g. 'Mothers maiden
name'.
The username, password and password reminder are not
case-sensitive and can be any combination of letters and
numbers. After providing this information, click on the
'Register' button to complete your registration.
Once you are registered, you can save your favourite job
searches, set up email alerts and add jobs to 'My job
basket' for viewing at a later date.
If you are trying to log in to My searches
and have forgotten your password, you can click on 'Forgotten
your password?' You will then be shown your password
reminder.
If you want to delete your registration, log in to
My searches and select the 'Delete
registration details' option. By deleting your registration,
all your log in details, as well as any jobs added to 'My job
basket' and any saved searches, will be deleted. Your email
address, if you have registered one, will also be deleted and
you will no longer receive any email alerts that you may have
set up.
Your registration will be deleted automatically if you do
not log in for a period of three months. If you wish to use
My searches after this time, you will need to
re-register.
Please note that registration with My
searches is only valid for the job search within
Directgov (jobseekers.direct.gov.uk) and does not apply to any
other areas of Directgov.
