Careers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


How do I search for positions?

There are three ways to search for positions:

  • Social Job Matcher allows Bank of America Merrill Lynch job seekers to customize their job search by logging on through Facebook or LinkedIn. Visit the Career site homepage and hover over the LinkedIn or Facebook icons and you will be given the option to log in using LinkedIn or Facebook. Using matching technology we'll display potential job opportunities matched from your social media profile (skills, work history, location).

  • On the Career site homepage, enter a job title or job area within the Search Jobs box in the upper left-hand corner of the page. The system will automatically begin populating potential jobs that fit the criteria.

  • On the Career site homepage, select the Advanced Search button. Select the applicable country and click Begin. Enter your search criteria and click Begin Search. You will be presented with opportunities that match your criteria. To view each position's description, click on the position's title. Note: If nothing is returned when you perform this search, no current vacancies exist in your preferred geographic location and/or within your chosen field of expertise.

What if I have forgotten my user name/passcode for my Careers profile?

If you are applying to the U.S. and cannot remember your user name/passcode, go to the profile log in page. Select the Forgot your user name? or Forgot your passcode? link as needed and follow the instructions provided. Once you receive a temporary passcode, it is recommended that you manually enter that information into the passcode field instead of copying and pasting the information in order to prevent any extra spaces from being included. Additionally, when prompted on the screen to enter your “Old Passcode”, ensure you are reentering the temporary passcode into that field.

If you are applying to countries outside of the U.S., use the Please email my password to me link. Your username is the email address you used to create the original account. A password reminder will be sent to that email address.

What if I have forgotten the answers to my security questions when attempting to reset my passcode?

Answers to security questions are case sensitive and must match exactly as you previously defined them. If you cannot correctly answer your security questions, complete the Careers Profile Access Issues form and include your username in the details of your request.
