The Job Alert e-mails replace the former New Jobs Today e-mail that used to be sent to those subscribed. The Taleo system allows job seekers to choose the type of job categories they are interested in and receive notices of new job openings in those categories. Whenever a job seeker applies for a job the system automatically assigns that category assuming that since the job seeker applied for the job they are interested in the job category.

The e-mails are triggered by categories that you have either chosen or categories that were assigned to you because of the types of jobs you have applied for.
One category that may cause confusion is “Other Administrative Positions.” This job category is used for jobs that do not fit into any other category listed. The requirements on these jobs vary greatly so although you have expressed an interest in this category, your background may not fit the requirements.
