I recently submitted my information for a position. What is the next step?

When you apply for a position on this site you will receive an e-mail confirmation acknowledging our receipt of your application. Recruiters review candidate pools to identify those candidates whose experiences and qualifications most closely match the position specifications. Due to overwhelming response to many of our positions, it may be up to eight weeks before we can contact you to apprise you of the status of your candidacy. We appreciate your patience as we carefully review each candidate’s background and credentials – including yours – against the experience and qualifications sought for the opportunity. If you are identified to move forward in the process, you will be contacted by a Recruiter, who will outline the next steps of the process. If you are not identified to move forward, you still may be contacted about other opportunities that align with your profile and/or interests. Your profile will remain on record for up to one year after you create or edit it. You can update your profile at any time.

I completed my Career Profile and subscribed to automatic notifications. When will I be notified about opportunities?

You will be notified about new opportunities as soon as they are posted on our site, as long as they reflect the interests and preferences you indicated in your Career Profile.

If you did not subscribe to automatic notifications and you wish to activate this feature, check the box on page 4 of your Career Profile next to "Please send me e-mail notifications when new career opportunities reflect my interests." If you elect not to receive notifications, you will then need to manually visit our Careers Web site to view new opportunities.

If I receive an e-mail indicating that multiple positions may align with my interests and preferences, do I need to apply for each position separately?

Yes, you must apply for each position. Information contained in your Career Profile will be pre-populated in your application (and available to edit) but you will also be asked to provide additional information specifically related to the position you are applying for.

Why am I asked to provide additional information after applying for specific positions after I already established a Career Profile?

In addition to your resume/CV, your Career Profile contains general information about your career preferences and interests. When applying for a specific position, you need to provide additional information as it relates to the position you are applying for. The recruiter and hiring manager need this information to assess the degree of alignment between your specific skills and experiences and the skills and experiences required for the position.

How much time do I have to respond to a notification I receive about an opportunity?

Generally speaking, there is no prescribed set time limit for responding to a job listing. Posting periods vary and depend on a number of factors, including the type or location of a position and/or the hiring manager’s timeframe to fill it. Because of the high volume of candidates who typically apply for posted positions, we recommend you respond quickly if you have an interest in a position.
