How to Apply Online

Introduction to the System

If you are new to Online Application Systems, take the time to read "Online System Introduction". This will explain how the system works and provides you with useful tips to creating an application and applying for a job on-line.

Entering Data into the System

Before you begin entering data into the system, draft and save all text in advance into your computer's word processing program (e.g. MS Word, MAC, etc.).

Resume and Cover Letter Format

Use plain text format. Formatted documents do not transfer well and are not readable online. Do not use formatting such as bold text, bullets or underlines. In lieu of bullets, you can use asterisks.

After you have created your cover letter and resume, you should:

• Copy and paste the cover letter and resume into the system, or
  
  
• Type your information directly into the system, and
  
  
• Check and make formatting adjustments for readability

Editing an Application

You may edit the application to tailor it to a specific job by:

• Clicking on the application
  
  
• Clicking the Edit button
  
  
• Making changes
  
  
• And clicking Save

This will REPLACE the original application with the edited version.
