Where do I read my messages?

Two ways: Inbox (button is in toolbar) or from the job page. If a job is awarded, you can also access messages from your home page.

What is group messaging?

Group messages can only be initiated by the person that posted the job. He can use group messaging to collaborate with students when more than one has been hired for the same job.

I'm having trouble signing up.

If you're a first time visitor and looking to hire American students, you must post a job to sign up. Start by clicking on Hire Students from the homepage.

If you're a first time visitor and looking for work, then you need to verify that you're a student. There are two ways to do so. You can sign up using your school assigned email (ex. michael@ucla.edu) and you'll be sent a link that you need to click on to confirm. The second way is to sign up with Facebook, but your Facebook account must first be part of a school network (high school students can only sign up this way). A school network on Facebook can be added by going to Account Settings, then clicking on Edit next to Networks.

I still have questions.
