Once activated, all applications for the job will be sent to the email address specified in your job advertisement.

6) Can I deactivate a job advertisement or re-post a job?

To deactivate a job advertisement that's currently posted, log in to your employer account and click on My Job Ads. Select the advertisement you would like to remove and click on Edit Job, which will take you to the job posting form. Scroll down to Status, and select Inactive/Draft to hide your listing. To reactivate the advertisement before its expiry date, simply change the status to Active.

All job advertisements will expire 30 days after posting. Expired job advertisements cannot be re-posted. To continue listing the same job opening, you will need to create a new job advertisement using the procedure detailed in Question 4.

Basic and Premium job advertisements will be deleted from the system one month and three months after expiry respectively. You are advised to process job applications within the relevant timeframe, as applications and candidate details will be deleted along with the job advertisement.

7) What's the difference between Basic accounts and Premium accounts?

	Basic	Premium	Remarks
Company registration/verification	3-5 working days	1 working day	Companies need to be registered and verified only once per account
Data entry support	No	Yes

To find out more, contact Customer Service at +603-8938 2828 or enquiry@jobscentral.com.my.

8) I have bought a Premium account. How soon will my Premium job advertisement be posted?

Your job will be posted on the same working day on which you send us your job description (in MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, or Adobe PDF formats), as long as you do so before 2pm and are able to approve the draft in time.

9) What are student jobs?

Student jobs consist of internships, part-time and vacation jobs, as well as temporary or ad-hoc assignments that specifically target students. These jobs are not meant to replace existing school internship programmes and other work attachment modules. Rather, they complement traditional channels while providing an avenue for employers and students to learn about one another.

There is no charge levied on employers to post student jobs. As with other JobsCentral job listings, it is also free for students to respond and apply to these job advertisements.
