To create a new placeholder:

1. Click on Setup  > Frontend configuration in the top menu
2. Locate the Search box and type the Career Centre name
3. Click on the edit icon next to the Career Centre
4. Click on the Placeholder link in the top right hand context menu
5. Enter the placeholder name
6. Select the cookie type
7. Click on the Save button

To use the placeholder, you need to position a placeholder portlet in your page template that recalls the name of the portlet you have just created:

1. Find the page template where you want to add the placeholder portlet to (see Finding documents)
2. Click on the Content tab
3. Add the placeholder portlet to the HTML of the page template
4. Click on the Save button

To configure the content that appears in the placeholder portlet:

1. Find the document that you want to add the placeholder portlet to (see Finding documents)
2. Click on the Placeholder tab
3. Click on the name of the placeholder you want to set content for
4. If the placeholder is inheriting content, click on the Do not inherit content link
5. Enter the HTML you want to set
6. Click on the Save button

Placeholders inherit content from the folders above them in the document hierarchy. This means that if you have the same content in a placeholder for the whole site and it only changes in a specific page, you can set the common content in the root document and the specific content in the page that is different.
