What Is a Care.com Job Alert?
A Care.com job alert is a message our caregivers receive, letting them know about brand new job opportunities. When families post openings onto Care.com, you̵7;ll be notified of the new opportunity through ̵2; either email or text message.
These alerts are automatically set up when you create your profile. We want you to be up-to-date on all of the latest openings that fit your specialty, and the alerts help keep you informed.
They̵7;re sent out as soon as a family submits a job listing, which allows you to respond to these jobs quickly. Did you know that families are more likely to read and respond to the applications they receive first? When you get an alert, apply to the job as soon as you can to improve your chances of getting a job. Want to know more? Check out the 14 Ways to Get Families to Respond to You on Care.com
