Online Application Instructions

Welcome to our new online job application system. The new system allows users to search current vacancies, create your own personal profile, create and save resumes, and apply for openings online. Although you may view available positions without entering the system, you will need to have an account on the system in order to create a resume or apply for a job online. Accounts are managed through personal email addresses. You will need to have an email address to register. Please familiarize yourself with the instructions before entering the system.

The application entry page provides the applicant with two options: 1) Create / Update Resume, and 2) View Job Postings / Apply for Job. At the bottom of the page it will ask you for your e-mail address and password.

(1) Create Account
To establish an account, select "Create/Update Resume", then select "Are you a new applicant? Click here to register". You will need to enter an e-mail address and select a password on the Identification page. If you do not have an e-mail address, we suggest that you sign up for a free account at either Hotmail or Yahoo. You will receive electronic confirmation at this e-mail account whenever you submit an online application.

(2) Create / Update Resume
To create or update a resume, you first have to login to your account. If you do not have an account, see Create Account above. You will then walk through a series of 14 screens. View the screen steps and navigation tips.

(3) View Job Postings / Apply for Job
You may view available positions without entering the system; however, you will need to log into your account to create a resume or apply for a job online. Select "View Job Postings" and enter your search criteria. To see a full list of open positions, select the yellow "Search" button at the bottom, left side of the screen. You may also search on the "keyword" field.

To apply for a position, you must first log into your account., search the current vacancies list, select the position for which you would like to apply, and select the "Job Basket" field. Your online resume will be submitted for that position, with a confirmation email to your account.

You are now ready to use the Online Job Application.
