Candidate Job Tracker

Option 1 – Submit the Form

Simply use the Track a Job form to enter details of any current job applications you may have.

Once submitted, you can view and manage your applications in the My Applications tab. You can edit your status, keep notes or delete an application record at any time.

Option 2 – Install the Bookmarklet

Click and drag the bookmarklet below to your browser’s bookmarks bar. Then, visit any job posting and click the bookmarklet to capture the job details. Save it and you will return here with your Track a Job form filled with the details.

Using the Bookmarklet

The Job Tracker works by adding a small bookmark (called a bookmarklet) to your browser. Once added, you can click it on any supported job posting and copy the job details into your WorkPEI Job Tracker. Below are browser-specific instructions to help you add it successfully.

Known Limitations

Currently, the bookmarklet will capture all relevant data from jobs published on WorkPEI, Job Bank and CareerBeacon. Clicking on pages that don’t appear to have job listings will produce an error message.

Some sites like Indeed and JobsPEI don’t currently enable us to capture job data this way. On other corporate career sites, such as www.IrvingOil.com, the job tracker will capture the website and URL of the job posting, but will require you to manually add the remaining details.

We hope to expand access to sites like Indeed, JobsPEI and additional sites in future.

All Browsers

• Make sure the Bookmarks Bar is visible in your browser. If you can’t see it or find it, do this:
• Press Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+B (Mac).
• Once you’ve activated your Bookmarks, drag the red WorkPEI Job Tracker button into the bar and release it. It should now appear as a normal bookmark in your browser.
• If the drag doesn’t work, right-click the red button and select “Copy link address“. Then on the Bookmarks Bar, right-click, select “Add page” and paste the link. It should now appear in your Bookmarks bar.

Chrome

Chrome fully supports bookmarklets and usually works without extra steps.

• Drag the WorkPEI Job Tracker button into the bar. It should appear as a normal bookmark.
• If the drag doesn’t work, right-click the red WorkPEI job tracker button and select “Copy link address“.
• Select the Bookmarks Bar in your browser, right-click, and select Add page.
• Paste the link and save it to make the bookmarklet appear.

Firefox

Firefox fully supports bookmarklets and usually works without extra steps.

• Make sure the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible.
• If not, right-click the toolbar and enable “Bookmarks Toolbar”.
• Drag the red WorkPEI job tracker button into the toolbar.

Safari (Mac)

Safari blocks drag-and-drop bookmarklets unless the Favorites Bar is visible.

• Go to View and select Show Favorites Bar.
• Drag the red WorkPEI job tracker button into the Favorites Bar.

If Safari still doesn’t allow dragging:

• Right-click the red WorkPEI job tracker button and select Copy Link.
• Go to Bookmarks and select Add Bookmark.
• Edit the bookmark, then copy and paste the JavaScript into the URL field.

Microsoft Edge

Edge sometimes blocks dragging bookmarklets due to security restrictions. If dragging does not work:

• Right-click the red WorkPEI job tracker button.
• Select “Add to favourites”.
• In the popup, replace the URL with the full JavaScript link.
• Save.

Also, make sure Show favorites bar is turned on in Settings → Appearance and to drag the text of the button, not the padding around it

Mobile Devices (iPhone / Android)

Mobile browsers do not support bookmarklets being added by dragging. If you want to use the Job Tracker on mobile, use a laptop or desktop computer to install the bookmarklet.
