E-Jawatan 2.0 User Manual

Step-by-step walkthrough of the applicant experience, enriched with annotated screenshots that live in public/UserManual. Use this page to help applicants understand every screen before they start.

Getting Started & Authentication

Covers how applicants register, sign in, request a TAC, and raise enquiries before logging in.

Applicant Login

Use your email address / NRIC combination to sign in from the primary login screen.

  • Complete the email and password fields. The remember-me checkbox is safe for private devices only.
  • Each login attempt is protected by Google reCAPTCHA. Wait for the verification token to finish before sending the form.
  • The TAC button jumps directly to the passwordless login flow described in the next section.
Tip: If you cannot remember the password, click "Forgot Your Password?" to trigger the standard reset email.

Login with TAC (Transaction Authorization Code)

Use TAC whenever a temporary login is required or when multi-factor verification is enforced.

  • Enter the email used for registration. Click "Request TAC" to receive a six digit code.
  • Codes are throttled in RestController@code_request. Wait five minutes before sending another request.
  • Submit the TAC to finish authentication. The code expires after 10 minutes or after a successful login.
Tip: Whitelist [email protected] to avoid spam filtering the TAC email.

Tip: Use a personal email address that you can access on mobile to streamline TAC verification while travelling.

Enquiry & Feedback

Applicants can raise issues without logging in by submitting the enquiry form.

  • Pick an enquiry category and describe your issue. Fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory.
  • Attach supporting documents if required (PDF/JPG). The max file size follows the application config.
  • Submitted enquiries generate a reference number. Administrators can respond within the admin console.
Tip: Link the enquiry to a registered email so responses reach the inbox and the in-app notification center.

  • Widgets on the top row summarise application progress, outstanding tasks, and unread notifications.
  • The reminder list shows deadlines for application submission and missing sections.
  • Use the quick links on the right-hand panel to continue forms, open notifications, or download submissions.

Application Form Wizard

Every applicant completes the multi-step wizard. Each card below corresponds to a section inside ApplicantController@form.

Position(s) Offered

Select up to the maximum allowed positions, rank preferences, and answer position-specific questions.

  • Search for an open position using keywords or filters. Selected posts appear in the table below.
  • Rank your choices if multiple positions are allowed. Drag to reorder or use the provided move actions.
  • Submit reasons or expected remuneration if the form configuration requires them.
Tip: The form enforces the limit configured in the Positions Offered settings. Remove unused posts before adding new ones.

Personal Information

Capture demographic information, contact addresses, and identification numbers.

  • Fields are grouped by NRIC/passport data, residential & postal addresses, and basic demographic info.
  • The "Save & Next" button stores data through ApplicantController@store_personal.
  • Use the progress tracker on the left to jump between steps without losing saved data.
Tip: Ensure the NRIC is correct. It locks further down-stream processing and is referenced by HR reports.

Academic Qualifications

Log every academic credential, upload transcripts, and specify grading information.

  • Click "Add Qualification" to insert entries for SPM, Diploma, Bachelor, Master, etc.
  • For each entry, specify institution, field, award date, and attach supporting documents.

Competencies & Skills

Highlight languages, IT skills, professional certifications, and other competencies.

  • Document languages with proficiency per skill (reading, writing, speaking).
  • List professional certifications and licences, including expiry dates where relevant.
  • Add technical skills (software, machinery, etc.) to help HR identify fit for specialised roles.

Record employment experiences, job responsibilities, and supervisor details.

  • Use separate entries for each employer, starting with the most recent.
  • Include job title, department, duration, and core responsibilities for each position.

Tip: Attach service letters where required. PDF format works best for multiple pages.

Reference Information

Provide referees that HR can contact during background checks.

  • At least two referees are recommended. Each needs a full name, relationship, and contact info.
  • Toggle the consent checkbox if the referee agreed to share their data.
  • Use the reorder handles if the form enforces a "primary" reference.
Tip: Choose referees who have worked with you recently to increase approval speed.

  • Click the upload card to attach the latest resume (PDF or DOCX).
  • Optional supporting documents such as cover letters or portfolios can also be added here.
  • The progress badge confirms when the file is stored via ApplicantController@store_resume.
Tip: Use clear filenames (e.g., Resume_Nadia_2024.pdf) to help HR identify the file quickly.

Final confirmation stage before submission.

  • Review every step's completion indicator on the left-hand progress tracker.
