| Can I personalise my EF interface |
Yes, indeed you can. Not only can you personalise it,but in the background the portal will be getting to know you and adapting the content to suit your tastes. This built in personalisation is careful not to make rash decisions and hide stuff from you, but it will promote to the top topics or jobs that you have previously demonstrated a strong interest in.
In addition by registering with the portal and visisting your account page, you can ser many preferences to improve your enyoyment of our site.
We strongly advide that you wait a little while until you have a good feel for how the site works and until the site has alearned a little about your tastes, before beginning any major customisation.
See other topics in this FAQ for more detailed instructions on customising the portal to your tastes.

| How does EF find appropriate news an jobs for my needs |
Without giving away trade secrets, EF uses our own simple but powerful artificial intelligence algorithm to look at your search terms in context of other searches you have been making in order to ensure that say a boiler engineer will not be shown jobs for a software engineer. In addition, it builds up a picture of your favourite topics as you read and look at or apply for jobs so that it can improve the focus of your results.
The more you use the site and the more content form all kinds of sources that you read the better the system will learn to serve you.
In addition it learns form others with similar tastes that there are other topics you might find interesting and introduces these to you form time to time.
Our aim at all times is not to stigmatise, or categorise you, but to help improve the quality of content you are offered while keeping you firmly in control.
