selected
per
filter category to mark it as a desired job
.

how can I apply?

There are 2 ways to apply:


1.) You apply for a specific advertised job.
the first step is to search for available jobs. To do this, select the "Search" function in the menu.

2.) Alternatively, you can also send a speculative application. this means that you do not apply for a specific job, but send your documents to a company where you would like to work.

You can also register on HOGASTJOB.COM and activate your profile. This means that you can also be found and contacted by employers.

what is meant by a speculative application?

With a speculative application, you do not apply for a specific position, but send your documents to a company where you would like to work. With a little luck, you will be hired for a position that was not advertised at all :)

What is meant by a visible profile?

In your profile area you have the option to make your application profile visible to employers. This allows them to contact you directly and make you a job offer. However, it is a prerequisite that you have entered your profile completely and activated your visibility.

What is the job alert?

The job alert is a job search agent. You can quickly and easily create a job alert for each search query and the matching search result. You will receive this and similar jobs by e-mail! By the way: You can create the job alert for different job titles and you don't have to be registered for it!

Watchlist - What happens to my bookmarked jobs?

account you can then call up the bookmarked jobs again and apply for them

How can I update my profile?

To do this, you must first register or log in again ("Login"). This will take you to your account. In your account please go to "Edit profile". Now you can add all missing data.

Why do I have to provide so much info in the profile?

In order for your future employer to get a picture of you, a meaningful profile is necessary. This includes, for example, a photo of yourself, your resume, your references and detailed information about your qualifications. Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

On this page you will also see the tab "Visibility". Click on it.

Why can't I receive e-mails?

If you are not receiving emails, it is most likely due to your provider or email client. We suggest using an alternative email address (e.g. GMX or Gmail). We cannot check the reception of e-mails and therefore cannot guarantee it (spam filters etc. are in between here, which we as a system operator cannot influence).

Why are there no images displayed in the emails?

Whether images are loaded or not can be set individually in your e-mail program (Outlook, etc.).

What information do companies see first when they receive applications?

First, of course, companies see your name and profile picture. The importance of your photo is therefore very great - the first impression counts! In a second step, the companies can view your online application profile and your documents (resume as a PDF file, cover letter and references). It is therefore very important that you fill out your profile completely!

Why have numbers changed on my application status?

If in your account the numbers in your application status (i.e. the number of applications sent, applications in process and feedback) have changed inexplicably for you, this is because a company that was assigned to one of your applications no longer uses HOGASTJOB.COM and the application status that affected this company is no longer displayed.

How can I print an advertisement?

If you want to print a page in Microsoft Edge, right-click directly in the advertisement and select "Print". In Firefox, you can print the job from the menu. Format, paper size, font size, etc. can be set in the print settings.
the simpler and most environmentally friendly option would be to send the job ad by mail, thus eliminating the need for paper. You can send the job using the "Email button".

How can I manage my email notifications?

If you are stored in HOGASTJOB as the main contact of your company (this is related to our HOGAST master data and cannot be edited or changed by you), then you will automatically receive all email notifications.

  3. 3.) Select "My Account", you will then enter your personal account. If you scroll down a bit, you will find the option "Email notifications".
  4. 4.) If you have not already made changes, "All notifications" should be preselected here. This means that as soon as a new application is received, a new contact request is made or your company receives a new message, you will automatically be informed about it by mail as well.

  5. 5.) If this is not desired, then simply click on "Only if I am involved" & save this setting. After that, you will only receive messages if you are explicitly named as the contact person or if you have posted the job yourself.
