Target audience: Career Services Administrators
Overview
The Spotlight page is a dedicated section within your JobTeaser platform that presents your Career Service team, mission, offerings, and contact details directly to students and alumni. By personalizing this space, you can increase team visibility, explain available career resources, and make it easy for students to seek guidance.
Why build a strong presentation page?
Increase team visibility: put faces to names by displaying staff photos, job titles, and short bios.
Clarify service offerings: outline your key services—such as CV reviews, workshop schedules, employer networking events, and 1-on-1 coaching.
Simplify student contact: provide clear communication channels, including drop-in hours, physical office locations, and direct inquiry emails.
Configuring your Spotlight page in the Back Office
Important information: to access the Spotlight page, you need to possess Super admin rights.
Access

Header: banner and title
Write a concise welcome title. Use the header picture to personalize your page based on your own brand. If you don't upload a header picture, it will show a default image.
Mission
Briefly explain what the purpose of your institution's career service is. Some example elements are:
assist students in exploring their career path to empower them to make informed decisions about their career trajectories;
increase employability of students by enhancing their skills to prepare them to succeed in the competitive job market;
connect students and alumni with employment opportunities by establishing and maintaining relationships with employers and creating a professional community for students.
List of your services
Create clear sections or cards for each major service (e.g., 1-on-1 Advising, Workshops & Events, International Opportunities).
Contact information
Let students know where and how they can reach out to you. Display your physical office location, opening hours, booking links, and support email addresses.
Teams and people
Introduce your team, add profile pictures, names, role titles, and specific areas of expertise for your advising staff.
Recommended actions
Provide up to three recommended actions for students to discover more about your services.
The quote
The quotation will not appear if you leave the fields empty. If you wish to display a quote, both fields must be filled in.
Publish your page
Click Publish to make your updates instantly visible on the student Front Office. You will be able to review your page, before putting it live towards your students.
To take down your Spotlight page, click on "unpublish" on the top right.
Translating your Spotlight page
After creating a first version of your Spotlight page in your platform’s primary language, you can choose to add translations for secondary languages enabled on your platform:
Creating a translation: choose to pre-fill your content from an existing published page or start from scratch.
Fallback display rules: as long as you have at least one active Spotlight page published, it will always be displayed to your students regardless of their selected interface language, ensuring no student sees an empty space.
Translation limits and maintenance: we recommend publishing no more than 2–3 active language translations. Maintaining multiple versions requires ongoing updates, and managing too many translations increases the risk of displaying outdated information to students.
Best practices for maximum student engagement
Keep information up to date: Review team profiles and office hours at the start of each academic semester.
Use clear call-to-actions (CTAs): Link directly from your Spotlight description to your Appointments calendar or Events tab to encourage immediate action.
Translate content for international students: If secondary languages are enabled in your portal, ensure your custom Spotlight descriptions are translated so all students can navigate your services comfortably.
