We're excited that you're considering joining our team! To make your application process smooth and efficient, here are a few things to keep in mind. Before you start, have your employment history ready, including dates, addresses, and phone numbers for previous employers and references. This will save you time and ensure your application is complete. You'll have about 30 minutes to complete the application before the system times out due to inactivity. Don't worry, though – you can save your application as a draft and come back to it later if you need more time. By being prepared, you'll breeze through the application process. We can't wait to learn more about you!
You'll need an email address to complete the application. If you don't have one, you can easily set up a free account on various websites. Once your application is successfully submitted, you'll receive a confirmation email. If you don't see that email, it means your application wasn't submitted successfully.
You can upload your resume in a word (.DOC or .DOCX format) document or a PDF file at the start of your application and the system will fill out details of the application automatically! Please review these sections carefully, and update as necessary. Additional documentation noted as required (such as cover letter, references transcripts, statements, etc.) may be submitted later in the application in the “Supporting Documents and URLS” section of the application.
