Q. How do I create a search agent to be notified of positions that match my skills and interests?
A. The first step is to create an online profile and attach your resume. You may create a search agent based on a variety of factors such as keyword, area of interest, or location. This will allow you to be notified via email when a position of interest is posted in the future. Once you have logged into your account through our Jobs page, go to "Search Agent Manager" to create a new search agent.
Q. I applied for a position online and want to check the status of my submission.
A. We regret that due to the number of inquires we receive, we cannot respond personally to everyone who contacts us. If you do not hear back from us, please feel free to check the status of your job submission by logging into your profile and clicking on the "Job submission status" link to view your current status for the position for which you have applied.
Q. I applied for a position but my "job submission status" does not show that I have applied to any position.
A. Your profile may not have been saved correctly in the system. When you have gone through all the necessary steps in the profile creation process, you will see the confirmation page. Immediately after you apply, your submission will be reflected on the "Job submission status" page. If you do not see the title of the position there, please apply again using the online process.
Q. I cannot remember my password. Will you email it to me?
A. We're unable to respond to inquiries regarding passwords. If you've forgotten your password, please click the "Forgot your password?" link in the log-in area on our Web site and enter your email address. You should receive an email allowing you to update your password. Please note that the system-generated email may be filtered to your junk email depending on your email settings.
Q. I am experiencing technical difficulties with the online process. Can you help?
A. A variety of factors could be contributing to the technical difficulties you are experiencing. The speed of your Internet connection, your Internet browser capabilities, or maintenance of our systems and servers are just a few possible causes. If you experience technical difficulties, please return to our Web site at a later time to complete the online process.
Q. I just submitted my profile but need to make a correction. When I look at my job submission status, it looks like I should be able to withdraw my resume, but the button doesn’t work.
A. There is a delay between the time you apply for a position and the time you are able to manage your profile. Please check back after two hours, and you should be able to make the necessary changes to your profile.
Q. I applied online but would like to follow up with hard copies of my resume and cover letter. Where can I send these?
A. We are unable to accept hard copies of resumes or resumes via email. We make every attempt to review all resumes that are submitted for a specific position, and you may check the status of your submission by visiting our Web site. Please see question #2 for instructions on this process.
