How long will it take?

The entire process should only take about 15 minutes. If you have a Word document open at the same time you can easily copy and paste the text from one to the other. Once you have created you own profile you can re-visit BEN as often as you like to add details to your CV.

How do I need to enter my personal details?

To add your details to BEN you will need to complete a section for each piece of different data. That is a section for each different period of education, a section for each different period of employment or different position held, a separate section for each reference you are offering, a section in which you can provide a summary of your career to date and future aspirations and a section regarding your permission to work in Australia.

Why can’t I simply e-mail my CV?

Some systems like BEN may ask you to fill out some limited detail in a form to which you can attach a copy of a Word document. Beilby used that style of system for years. The problem is you will lose control over the content of your CV and every time your personal circumstances change you will need to send another CV. As a result we end up with several copies of the one person's details and the moment we receive it, it starts to age and become dated.

By offering you the opportunity to use BEN as the repository for your personal CV, so that you can print off a copy for your own use or apply it to a new job vacancy that arises at Beilby, you will only ever be using the one version of your CV and if anything changes, you can update your CV and keep us informed.

What will my CV look like?

As you create your own CV within BEN you can review your progress at any time by clicking on View my CV. View Sample CV.

What will happen to the information I provide?

Use of the information you add to BEN will be covered by the terms outlined in the Privacy Statement available on the system.

top

When I finish a section and save it, the form with the information remains on the screen?

The form will return to the screen each time you insert a separate piece of data into BEN so that you can add another separate piece of information. After you have finished each section by adding all separate Educational achievements or different Jobs or Employers you should click the next section at the left hand side of the screen to move forward.

top

Why is the process broken up into separate sections?

The primary objective of having you add your details to BEN is to ensure that we have the most up to date and reader friendly version of your CV possible. By adding each section separately you will be building your CV so that it will be fully formatted and something that you will be proud to use for any purpose in the future.

top

What happens if I run out of time before I can finish?

Once you have created your own user profile you can visit BEN as often as you need to finish the job. Unlike other systems that force you to use system generated user ID's and passwords that can be very hard to remember, BEN allows you to select your own.

top

What happens if I lose my Internet connection before I am finished?

Nothing, simply re-connect and pick up where you were interrupted. Unlike other systems that do not allow you to save your work until you completely finish it, BEN saves each section separately which protects you from the loss of any data. The only data you might lose is the immediate section you were working on.
