Why does Jobfox ask for my Instant Messenger address?
Jobfox wants you to be reachable by employers how and when you prefer – via email, mobile device, land line, or even instant messaging (IM). IM is discreet and immediate, enabling candidates and employers to dramatically reduce the time it takes to connect with one another for an initial conversation. If you elect to use this feature, employers on Jobfox can see when you’re logged into your IM service such as AIM, and can open an IM dialog with you to begin the interview process. From this chat session you can indicate your interest and schedule a time to speak directly with the employer or to schedule an interview. You have the ability to control this feature. Only employers can see when candidates are online; candidates do not have the ability to see when employers are online. Only employers can start an IM session with candidates. Jobfox does not charge candidates for this feature.
