Editing Existing Jobs

Life happens, and sometimes job details need a little tweak! Mellonial makes it easy to update your job listings whenever you need to. Whether you're adjusting a job title, updating the description, or refining the requirements, you can do it quickly and efficiently.

This section will walk you through the simple steps to find your job listing and make all the necessary edits.

Finding the Job You Want to Edit

To edit an existing job, you first need to navigate to your list of posted jobs and select the one you wish to modify.

  1. Log In: Make sure you are logged into your Mellonial account.
  2. Access Your Dashboard: From the Mellonial homepage, click on your Profile Icon (usually in the top right corner) and select Dashboard or My Posted Jobs from the dropdown menu.
    • If there's no direct "My Posted Jobs" link, you might find it under a general Dashboard or Employer Tools section.

  1. Locate the Job: On the My Posted Jobs page, you'll see a list of all the job listings you've created. Scroll through the list or use any available search/filter options to find the specific job you want to edit.
  2. Open Job Details: Click on the job title or the View Details button next to the job you wish to edit. This will take you to the individual job's detail page.

Making Changes to Your Job Listing

Once you are on the individual job's detail page, you can initiate the editing process.

  1. Click the Edit Button: On the job's detail page, look for an Edit button. It's usually prominently displayed, often near the top or bottom of the job description.

  1. Access the Editing Form: Clicking Edit will open a form that looks very similar to when you first created the job. All the existing information for your job listing will be pre-filled in the respective fields.

  1. Update Information: Go through the fields and make any necessary changes. You can update:

    • Job Title
    • Job Description
    • Requirements and Qualifications
    • Location
    • Salary Range
    • Application Deadline
    • And any other relevant details.

    Tip: Take your time to review all fields, even those you don't intend to change, to ensure everything is accurate and up-to-date.

  2. Review Your Changes: Before saving, carefully review all the modifications you've made. Double-check for typos or incorrect information.

Saving Your Updates

After you've made all your desired changes, the final step is to save them.

  1. Click Save Changes: At the bottom of the editing form, you'll find a Save Changes or Update Job button. Click this button to apply your modifications.

  1. Confirmation: Mellonial will typically show a confirmation message, indicating that your job listing has been successfully updated.

    Important: Your updated job listing will usually be live immediately after saving. However, in some cases, it might undergo a quick review process before becoming fully visible to applicants.

  2. Verify Updates: We recommend navigating back to the job's detail page or viewing your job listing from the public search results to confirm that all your changes have been applied correctly.

Important Considerations

  • Who Can Edit?: Only the original poster (the account that created the job) has the permission to edit a job listing.
  • Impact on Applications: Editing a job will not affect applications that have already been submitted. However, future applicants will see the updated version of your listing.
  • Major Changes: For very significant changes (e.g., changing the role entirely), it might be better to archive the existing job and create a new one to avoid confusion for applicants.
