Why can't I apply to this job?
If you can't apply to a job, the usual reasons are: your profile is missing required items, you have no plan that includes applications (free accounts can upload a resume but cannot apply), you used your plan's applications for the period, the job stopped taking applications, or you already applied. The screen names the reason.
Steps
- Profile: the screen says Complete your profile to apply and lists five items (full name, headline or job title, city and region, one work or education entry, and a minimum number of skills). Choose Add beside each unfinished item, then I've updated my profile. This is checked first.
- No plan: open Subscriptions & billing from the account menu and choose a plan that includes applications.
- Allowance used: the message shows when your allowance resets, or you can change plan.
- Already applied: find it under Jobs in the left menu (the page is titled Applications). If the employer did not move forward with an earlier application, it cannot be sent again; other roles at that company are still open.
- Job closed or not accepting applications: the screen says so and no application can be sent.
