Register:

Q: What is Register?
A: Register is short for registration. To participate and enjoy all the fun features of HELLUVAJOB, we ask that you register with us. Registration is a 3 step process, FREE and takes less than a minute to complete.

Q: Why should I register?
A: Here's a question from us- why haven't you yet? The HELLUVAJOB community is all about helping you find jobs, find help, find friends all for free and with absolutely no strings attached! Registering with us you'll also receive your very own profile page complete with Blog and forum features. Finally, be a part of the world's first job website that actually rewards users for working hard! So register now!

Q: What are the benefits of registering?
A: Aside from finding jobs around the neighborhood or finding the right person to help you with your project, by registering you'll be receiving points which can be redeemed for gifts and other goodies from our Treasure room! So hurry!

Q: Who can register?
A: Anyone can register so long as you're at least 14 years old.

Q: Where does my personal information go after registering?
A: We don't collect personal information like social security numbers, driver's licenses, or even your street address. What we do ask is that you leave with us a first and last name, the State you're in and a zip code. All this information stays here and only here.

Q: What is a Username?
A: A Username, commonly known as a 'handle' or 'screen name', is your identity on HELLUVAJOB. You can make up any word for your Username so long as it's not already taken but you also have the option to use your first and last name. So choose wisely the name you want to be called. My Username is Wantone!

Q: What is the purpose of a Username?
A: The purpose of a Username is to protect your identity and to differentiate two people with the same first and last name. Finally it also protects the true identity of the user of HELLUVAJOB

Sign In:

Q: What is Sign In?
A: Think of Sign In as the front door to a big house and the Username and Password as your keys to enter. Users must follow the exact Username and Password they chose from registration to enter.

Q: Why do I have to sign in?
A: To prevent abuser from posting phantom job posts, testimonials, or job help, we require visitors to sign in. Once you're signed in you can freely post a blog, enter our forums to meet friends, seek a job, or post a job. All free to a signed in guest!

Q: Why am I having trouble signing in?
A: A few things may be preventing you from signing in.
- Is your Caps Lock key engaged? Our Username and Password gateway is case
- sensitive. Sometimes a capitalized letter in the wrong place will deny you entry.
- Do you have the right Username or Password?
- Is your Number Lock key engaged? On some computers the Num Lock can type
- symbols instead of numbers!
- Are you carefully pressing the keys to your Username and Password? Sometimes my big chubby fingers hit the wrong keys!

Q: What is 'Keep Me Signed In'?
A: Tired of signing in over and over again? 'Keep Me Signed In' is a nifty little feature that stores your Username and Password so you don't have to re-type your Username and Password every time you leave your computer. If you're sharing a computer with someone, we strongly suggest you do not use this feature as other people can enter in your account without and create havoc.

Q: Forgotten Password?
A: Don't fret don't fret! If you've lost your Password, simply contact us and we'll send you a new Password to your registered e-mail address. Unlike your neighborhood locksmith, there's no charge sending you a new Password. Once you receive the Password, we suggest you go to Edit Profile, then PERSONAL ACCOUNT, select Edit Password, and change your Password there. Keep it safe with you.

Log In / Log Out:

Q: What is Log In?
A: Log In is like the door to your house and your Username and Password the keys. To enter this site and use all its features, a registered user must log in with the correct Username and Password. Every time you enter HELLUVAJOB you will automatically accumulate points. So do check in to your account daily to see if you've got new job prospects or new messages from friends. If nothing new shows at least you know you're being rewarded for coming in. Finally, go to Edit Profile and see just how many points you've accumulated then enter our Treasure room to redeem gifts coupons and other goodies!

Q: Why do I have to log in?
A: You are free to roam and check out all the features HELLUVAJOB has to offer. However to make contact with an employer who wants to hire you, or find a job you want to take up, find a skilled person, find a user, engage in conversations, write a Blog, or redeem prizes in the Treasure room, you have to be a registered user and you have to log in to participate. We created this not to deter people from using HELLUVAJOB. We did this to protect you from outside abusers.

Q: Why can't I log in?
A: There are a few reasons why a user can sometimes not log in. Before we answer those, make sure your Username and Password are correct. I've got big fingers and sometimes I accidentally press a wrong key! Next, make sure your Caps Lock button on your keyword is set on off. Our Username and Password entry boxes are case sensitive. Make sure your Number Lock button is off too if that is on? Finally, ask whether you recently changed your Password? If you've forgotten your Password write us and we'll send you a new one! There's no charge of course!

Q: How do I know I'm logged in?
A: When you're logged in, you will see 2 things- the orange 'Log In' tab to the right should now read 'Log Out'. Next, on your Username, there will be a light bulb icon. A lit light bulb shows a user is currently logged in and online.

Q: Where and how do I Log Out?
A: Logging out is a snap and we advise you to always log out especially if you're sharing a computer with someone else. To the right upper side of the page you should see an orange tab aptly called 'Log Out'. Click on it and within seconds you should be logged out.

Q: Why should I Log Out?
A: Your user profile is your identity within HELLUVAJOB. To prevent someone using your name to post a nasty Blog, or a nasty Forum entry, or worse, steal your hard earned points to the Treasure room we highly recommend you log out of HELLUVAJOB when you leave your computer.

Q: How do I know I'm logged out?
A: Once you're logged out the orange tab to the upper ride side of the page should read 'Log In'. Also if you happen to see your Username from a different computer, notice that the light bulb icon beside your Username should be turned off.
