Creating an Account

STEP 1: Upload Resume
- Select "Upload your resume", then the Continue button; browse out and select your resume. When loaded, select Continue. (You may need to scroll up to top of page to see the results.)
- The system will extract contact, education and work experience information from your resume and pre-populate many of the fields on the application for you.
- Resumes must be in a text format such as .doc, .rtf, .txt. PDF files cannot be read.
- You can also use the "Copy/Paste Your Resume" option to add your resume, but the system will just add the resume and will not pre-populate any fields for you.
Pre-Screening Questionnaire
- If the job has a pre-screening questionnaire, you will be presented with a page with explanation and a short set of questions (usually 2-3). Answer the question to the best of your ability.
After submitting your answers, the system will advise you if you are eligible to continue with your application or not. If you are eligible, you will be able to complete the next steps.
STEP 2: Contact Information
- Complete your contact information & contact preferences, select Save.
STEP 3: Preferences
(Note: depending on the job you have applied for, this step/section may be located after the questionnaire in Step 6.)
- Fill in as much information as possible. The recruiter may use criteria on this page to assist in matching you to the requirements for the position, i.e. travel & relocation.
- When complete, select Save.
- Move to the next page by selecting the "Work Experience" tab or the "Next" link.
STEP 4: Work Experience
- Answer the 2 questions on this page regarding your current employment.
- The Companies and Job Titles you see listed, if any, were populated from your resume. Select the Employer to open the page and fill in ALL requested information for full consideration.
- If any of the work experience pulled from your resume is not listed correctly, you can use the trash can icon to remove an entry or the +Add Work Experience link to add an entry as appropriate.
- Include all periods of employment for the last 7 years including gaps in employment; if period of unemployment, use your home address and salary of 0.
STEP 5: Education and Other Qualifications
- For full consideration, make sure to fill in all applicable information in each of the sections. Recruiters use these specific qualifications to match you against the job requirements.
STEP 6: Questionnaire
- All questions listed on this page, if any, must be answered for full consideration.
- Yes/No questions may be in reversed order (No/Yes), please read the question and answer carefully.
- Open-ended questions follow the yes/no, multiple choice questions. Some of them may reference a Yes/No question you answered higher in the list.
STEP 7: Referral Information
- Let us know how you heard about the job.
- If you were referred by a current employee, select that open and type in the employee’s name and his/her WORK email address.
STEP 8: Submit & Agree
- Only select SUBMIT when you have finished ALL pages of the application. Selecting SAVE only will NOT complete your application process – you will be in "draft" status only and not visible to the recruiter on the job opening.
- Applicants in the U.S. will be asked on the next page to self identify for equal employment opportunity purposes – this is completely voluntary and includes an option to decline disclosing the information.
- All applicants are asked to read our Understanding & Acknowledgement, and select Agree/Disagree.
- If you agree, the system will acknowledge your application and, if applicable, will provide on screen confirmation of your qualifications for the position.
Updating your resume
Note: your resume becomes a part of the application when you apply. You are not able to update your resume as it is "version-controlled." To update your resume, simply select the job title again and re-apply. Your previous information should still be in the record so you may continue the application process from this point. (Again, please save often).
If you re-apply to the same job, the system will warn you that you will be creating a duplicate file. Please select OK to proceed, re-applying has no negative effect on your application, it provides the recruiter with your most current information.
Problems?
If you encounter problems during the application process, first try to log back in. If you saved throughout your application, you will have an unsubmitted application showing in our Career Tools.
