Module 4: Opportunities
Learning Objectives
In this module you will learn the following:
-
Where to find offers that have been extended to you for positions you have placed a bid on.
-
How to view positions you have expressed interest in by placing a bid.
-
How to view positions you are eligible to submit a bid on.
All the following can be found on the Opportunities page.
1. My Offers
In this section you will find offers for positions a manager has extended to you, and their status, after bidding has ended. Offers are only extended for regular postings (such as 1-day bids) and not temporary fill postings (such as 30-day bids).
Once bidding has ended, the highest qualifying bid will receive an “extended” offer, and the bidder will have a chance to accept or reject the position. Lower qualifying bids will receive “conditional” or “queued” offers for which the bidder can indicate continued interest. If the higher qualifying bidder rejects the offer, you could still be awarded the position. This process is covered more in depth in Module 6.
2. My Bids
In this section you are able to view positions you have recently placed a bid on. A bid is an indication of your interest in taking a new position, or temporary shifts.
For 1-day postings, there is a 24-hour window in which bidding is open. During the bidding period, you can submit a bid on the open position.
For temporary fill postings, there is a 30-day window in which bidding is open. During the bidding period, you can submit bids on temporary shifts on the positions. This is covered more in depth in Module 9.
When you submit a bid, your bid is ranked against other bids for the same position. Once bidding is closed for that position you may receive an offer for the position, which you are free to reject. This process in covered more in depth in the next module.
3. Active Postings
In this section you are able to view open positions you are eligible to bid on. This includes 1-day bid opportunities for positions within your unit, as well as 30-day bids for temporary fill positions region-wide. They are filtered based on your job classification and your unit, so you will not see opportunities for which you are not eligible to bid.
