Q: What is bocestechworks.org?
A: Bocestechworks is a free web-based employment service for PNW BOCES students & alumni of all ages, experience and education levels.
Q: Why is there a myMessages center instead of public email?
A: The myMessages center assures our users of privacy and a spam-free environment.
Q: I am not receiving any password reset codes, myMessage notifications or anything else in my public email. Please advise.
A: Your internet service provider (ISP), antivirus program and/or your email utility may have a spam-blocker feature that has blocked our messages. You should check your junk email folder and add us as a safe sender.
Q: I noticed a checkmark () in the myMessage center. What does it mean?
A: The green checkmark next to a name in your myMessage center is our verification symbol. It tells you that the sender and/or recipient has been verified.
Q: I noticed that you offer employer verification and job seeker verification. Please explain.
A: "Verification" is one of several powerful features that makes us unique. Employers as well as students and alumni are verified by PNW BOCES. This gives job seekers peace of mind and employers the knowledge that the applicants have attended the Tech Center.
Q: I noticed that certain jobs resulting from a search are coming from other job boards, yet some are coming from bocetechworks directly. Please explain.
A: Some of the jobs come from employers that post directly with us. Others come from a job "feed." Job seekers can search bocestechworks and most other boards in one convenient location. We also post jobs for employers in a variety of locations including 4000+ niche boards, schools & alumni associations.
Q: How do I get technical support?
A: Via the "Contact Us" link available at the bottom of every page.
Q: Is the login case-sensitive?
A: Yes. Registration and login is case-sensitive. You need to keep that in mind when registering for a new account. We suggest entering the email address and password in lower case when you register in order to avoid future login issues. Google, Yahoo and other sites are all case sensitive for your protection.
