After you've applied to a shift, this shift will now move from your open shifts section to your bookings section, under the "applied" label.
If the employer who posted the shift approves you, this doesn't mean that the shift is booked yet! There's one final step - you need to confirm this shift in order to secure the booking.
Here's an overview of how to confirm and book a shift:
Apply to the shift, and include any negotiations or special requests. You can also upload attachments in this step. Pro tip: Including a brief introduction about yourself will help you stand out!
If the employer has approved you for the shift, you'll receive an email notification from hound asking you to confirm the shift. You'll also see this blue banner at the top of all pages in your hound account, just in case you missed the email.
Confirm the shift as soon as you can by clicking the "review" button from the blue banner, from the notification on your notifications page, or from the email notification. This will open a popup showing all the shifts that you've been approved for. Click the "view shift" button to view the shift details, and click "confirm". (Employers can approve multiple workers for a shift to ensure they have adequate coverage for any last minute shifts. The first worker to confirm the shift will have successfully booked this shift.)
If you've changed your mind about this shift, you can click "reject".
Once a shift has been booked, it will appear in your bookings section under the "booked" label until the shift start time has passed.
