Locker Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Brand new player here and I've searched for this on the forums and tried to find it in the help but there isn't anything specific on which buttons to press or how to actually get a job. I've found the Jobs screen and selected the Job Center tab. I see a list of Vacancies but I can't figure out how to apply for one. I can select one but the only button I see, Place Advert, is grayed out and does nothing when I press it. Sorry if this is a stupid question but I really can not figure this out and would appreciate any help. Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_Styles Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 If you click on one of the teams with a vacancy there will be a button stating "Apply for Job" in the squad screen IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Äktsjon Männ Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The quickest way would be going on holiday and ticking the 'apply for managerial positions at ...' and 'return from holiday when offered a job' options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locker Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 thank you for your replies. I've checked the club page for one of the listed positions but I can't seem to find an Apply for Job button on the main page, squad page, staff page but I'm sure I'm just missing it. I'll also try the holiday trick as well. Thanks all for any info. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MShing Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 If you go to the job security page you will have a list of all the teams and managers and how secure their jobs are. All the available jobs should be at the top of this list. If you see a job you want to apply for you can just right click the team and on your popup list click on apply for job.

JR866Gunner Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Select job security, that way you see managers under pressure and any available jobs. Hope this helps! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaupunkt Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 depending what you selected as "past experience" can also hinder your job search, or should i say getting hired, depending on what leagues you picked at the start, for example if you only picked the top leagues in Europe then there is less chance teams will take you on as a manager if you picked Sunday League player for experience and you might also find it harder to attract players at top clubs, the players already at those clubs will find it even harder to motivate themselves for you than normal etc. at least thats how i believe it works.

valencia Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hi, i'm using the default skin on fm2015. i started unemployed but am unable to apply for any jobs. i go to job centre and cant apply, go to job security and find the clickon drop down boxes saying something like 'declare interest in job' and 'apply for job' but both are greyed out. i have tried playing on full screen and windowed in case it was an issue of a button missing due to being cropped by wondow size (long shot) and I have tried forwarding a week or waiting til matchday is over etc and applying at different times in the week in case some functions are disbled at certain points (i.e. if a game is on) but still nothing. always greyed out. its the same for all clubs, big teams or brazilian lower league teams so not a reputation thing. what am i doing wrong? i cant believe its an oversight in the game, i must be being stupid somehow? (i would imagine such a huge bug would have been remedied months ago) please advise cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalemlyco Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 If you head into the Job Centre and then I open the filters and untick all jobs and just select manager and it'll show you the teams that are looking for managers like so. You can right click the team and select "Apply for Job" or you can click the team to get more details and then select "Overview" and "Apply for job/View advert" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
valencia Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 thanks, i'll check that out tonight when home and see if it works. im pretty sure i have tried that but i may be wrong I've managed to find available jobs its just teh fact the buttons to apply for the jobs are greyed which is the problem. i'll give your advice a go. tks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT3R Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Default database? You're currently unemployed still and can't apply for jobs? Have you tried clearing the cache in preferences, just to be sure it isn't a skin issue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
valencia Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 advice above didnt work, had already tried updated database (with summer transfers etc) - downloaded from sigames i think default skin. tried refreshing / deleting cache in preferences, and reloading skin. also tried going into overview on club page as suggested. - no option to apply as you can see, there's a lot of jobs going but all the options to apply or declare interest are greyed out. very peculiar screenshot - apologies, taken as a photo as was easier than using paint etc any ideas? im stuck unable to apply for anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT3R Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 SI included the winter database update (January window). It'll be the 15.3 database. If you're running a different database, it might be that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
valencia Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 it says i have 15.3.2 627042 (m.e v1555) it was the 'sortitoutsi.net live data update.zip' apologies if not allowed to mention on here reputable update any road. been downloaded tens of thousands of times for summer transfers so im not doing anything wrong and its likely a corrupt database thats ruining it? (bizarre it should have that effect) if i download a different skin may it help? cant believe such a fundamental oversight hasnt been reported/ fixed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT3R Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 If you're using the default skin, it shouldn't be the skin. You could make absolute sure and verify the integrity of the cache files in steam as that'll fix any corrupt default files. I'm still thinking that it's related to the database you downloaded though. Might be worth seeing if others had the issue or re-downloading the database. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I'll ask the obvious as I don't think its been mentioned - What leagues have you got loaded as playable? EDIT I would also add that the Lazio "Apply for job" in your photo doesn't particularly look greyed out but then it might just be the photo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
valencia Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 not sure how to 'verify cache files in steam' (i did buy it through steam) downloaded a different skin and tried it. still same oh well, thanks for help anyway. seems its busted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalemlyco Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Try it without that database and use the standard 15.3 update and see what happens then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

valencia Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 i'll try with another database and report back. odd that a database should preclude me from applying for a job though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

valencia Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 worked it out. there was a tickable box hidden deep in a menu somewhere which said only to manage international teams. god knows why someone would want that but there you go. unticked it and jobs appear. hooray! must say i don't like the skins, menu setups these days. labyrinthine and exceptionally counter-intuitive. awkward even to view a different league. que sera Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
