Can I include HTML tags in the job text I sent to CareerBuilder?
May 21, 2009
Yes. Yes you can. But CareerBuilder currently does not support all HTML tags.
We do not support TABLE and IFRAME. The latter is excluded out of security concerns.
Nor are FONT and SPAN tags allowed. These are stripped out upon receipt. They are far too prevalent in raw HTML copied from Microsoft Word, and cause the limit of the description field to be exceeded.
Here is a link to the full list of CareerBuilder supported HTML tags:

When job location data is parsed by CareerBuilder, the zip code value will take precendence over the city/state pairing.
How do I have the application email be sent to multiple addresses
March 16, 2009
You have a job on CB and you want the job to be sent to multiple email addresses that are stored on the job.
We can support that.
Define on address as the prime address. This is sent to us in the field “CBContactEmail”
Then list the rest of the email addresses you have in the “CBAOLCopyEmailList” field
<Field name="CBContactEmail" value="alpha@testcompany.com" />
<Field name="CBAOLCopyEmailList"
value="beta@testcompany.com, gamma@testcompany.com, delta@testcompany.com" />
You can have as many whole email addresses as you want, as long as the list is less than 255 characters total.
And you can delimit the list with either a comma or semi-colon.
