The agencies and private families advertising on the site are usually seeking experienced applicants in the exact position offered. Candidates without several years of matching employment history and required skill sets are unlikely to hear back from employers. If you are new to private household/estate employment, please see our recommendations at this link: Finding a Private Service Position
All posted job openings require current citizenship or permanent work authorization in the location of employment unless specifically stated. Please check carefully and DO NOT apply for positions where you are not already authorized to work. Candidates who apply for jobs without the correct employment status will be flagged for removal.
There are a number of ways to keep up with job listings.
Absolutely. We approve all agencies before they can use the site and also verify private client listings. EstateJobs is one of the safest places to apply for a new position. If you see anything suspicious, please let us know!
Adding a photo is simple. Navigate to the “Profile and Resumes” section under the “My Profile” tab. You'll see the area to upload photos near the bottom of your profile. Follow the prompts. We recommend using a closeup or cropped photo showing your overall appearance as a professional. Once uploaded, you will see the photo as it appears on your profile.
Your profile can now store multiple items. (references, intro letter, certificates, etc.) Follow the prompts to select and upload your files in the Profile & Resume section under My Profile in the menu. Each document must be less than 2MB in size. Most people find that a reduced size PDF document works best.
Unfortunately there is no way for all applicants to receive a specific response. There are usually several applications for each position, and most clients can only reply to candidates they want to pursue for that particular job. TIP: Don’t overthink it. If the employer thinks you are a good match, they will be in touch. It is impossible to know all the things they are considering when they review your resume.
For some you can, and some you can’t. When you are signed in to the site, look at the full title of the position to see if the employer name is listed. If so, you can look up that agency and contact them directly. If the posting was anonymous, then no direct follow up is possible. If the application method was via direct email, you can send a follow-up note to that same address.
All applications sent through the EstateJobs online submission will be logged in your account with a few exceptions. If an employer chooses to take applications through their own website, you will be redirected to their site and it will not register in your application history. Also, if the application is sent directly to a provided email address it will not track online. Keep careful records of your applications on other sites to avoid confusion.
We can only return calls regarding technical help issues with the website. Each job listing is from an agency or private employer who posted their own information, so we cannot answer any questions about the posts. To follow up with specific job listings, see the note above. We do not return calls about jobs on the site unless you are reporting something wrong in the ad or suspicious activity.
