This How-To document explains how to register as an alum at AfterCollege.com, complete with (too many!) screenshots. Registering as a student is similar.
In our example, we are alumna Katee Sackhoff (CSE
username starbuck, of course) registering with her email
address katee@galactica.com.
1. Start at the (sort of)
CSE-branded Job
Resource Center. A shortcut URL
is http://www.cs.washington.edu/AfterCollege. Click
on Register under
the Alumni heading to
move to the Account Signup
screen.
2. Here is where you are filling in your most basic information.
Your email address is used as your AfterCollege login name.
If you provide a value for Personal Web
Page, we will redirect requests for your web there— for
example, a request
for http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/starbuck/resume.html
would be redirected
to http://www.galactica.com/~starbuck/resume.html.
This is also the page where you provide your CSE username, your
major, and specify the type of account you are signing up for— a
jobseeker, and alum, or both. (Those form fields are below the fold of
this first screenshot, so scroll down or click here
to see a screenshot of the rest of the form.) If you don't provide
your CSE username, we cannot provide email forwarding,
because we will not know what your @cs.washington.edu
email address was. Enter only your username (starbuck
in this example), not your CSE email address
(starbuck@cs.washington.edu in this example.
Submit the form by pressing the button to continue the registration process on the Alumni Profile page.
3. Next, you complete the Alumni Profile form with information about your degrees and, hopefully, your new job. Press the button to... well, to finish registering.
4. When you see this Job Opportunities page, you are done with the basic registration process. We'd love for you to enter a little more information, though, by clicking on Manage Account under the Alumni heading to move to the Update Your Information page.
5. You must first enter your new credentials, then press the button to move to the Katee's Account page, except it won't be Katee's— it will be yours.
6. What we want you to do next is to click on Settings to move to the Manage Your Account page.
7. There is a lot you can do on this page. Our goal is for you to enter your address by clicking the Contact Info link. Doing that, of course, takes you to the Contact Info page.
8. You know the drill: enter your earthly address, confirm your email address, and press the ill-named button to move to the Profile Updated page.
9. That's all there is to registering. You can upload your resume, browse for jobs, et cetera. Please keep your registration up to date so we can keep in touch. You may now be an alum, but you'll always be family to us.
