How to register for Employ Florida

Before you start

Have these ready:

• About 20 to 30 minutes
• An email address
• Your work history (past jobs, dates, and what you did)
• Your education and any training
• The kind of job, pay, and location you want

It does not have to be perfect. Add as much as you can.

Step 1: Create your account

1. Go to www.employflorida.com.
2. Find the username and password boxes at the top of the page. Below them, click “Not Registered? Learn How and Why.”
3. On the next page, go to the box for Option 3 (Create a User Account) and click “Individual.”
4. Read the privacy agreement. Check the box that says you have read and understand it, then click “I Agree.”
5. Fill in your personal information. You will also create a username and password. When you are done, click “Next.”

Tip: Write down your username and password. Keep them somewhere safe so you can log in again later.

Step 2: Add your background information

This step records your work and school history. The system copies it into your resume, so you only enter it once.

1. On the left side menu, click “My Individual Profile.”
2. Click the “Personal Profile” folder. It is the first one.
3. Click the “Background” tab. Then click “Start Background Wizard.”

The wizard walks you through each part. You will add:

• Your education
• Your training
• Your work history (add as much as you can)
• The type of job you want
• The job titles you want
• Where you want to work
• The pay you want

When you finish, click “Next.”

Step 3: Build your resume

This step completes your full registration.

1. On the left side menu, under the “Quick Menu” box, click “Resume Builder.”
2. Click “Create New Resume.”
3. Choose how you want employers to see your resume.
4. Enter a resume title. Review your information and fix anything that needs it. Then click “Next.”
5. Click “Select Resume & Return,” or choose another job service.
6. Save your resume and close it.

That’s it. You are now fully registered in Employ Florida.

Step 4: Search and apply for jobs
