Overview


You might have noticed that on all jobs appearing on the myjobscotland website, there is now a little star in the top right hand side of the listing. You can click on this star to add the job to the My Favourite Jobs page in your account. 


Note: You need to be logged in to your account to use the favourite jobs feature. Favouriting a job does not mean you have applied for it.


How to add a job to your favourites


The favourite star can be found in the top right hand corner of each advert. When your cursor hovers over the star a text box will let you know what the button does.
