Workday allows you to populate your profile and applications with information automatically pulled from your resume or LinkedIn profile, but you must upload this information and ensure its accuracy. Resumes are not accepted in lieu of the application, and “See Resume” is not acceptable in application fields. Any information omitted from the actual application will not be considered for qualifying credit. It is OK to attach a resume, but make sure all pertinent information is listed on the application form. All applications must be submitted by 11:59 PM on the closing date.
  
Due to the volume of applications received, we are unable to provide information regarding the status of your application over the phone. To check the status of your application, please log in to your account.  Upon the closing date, applications will be screened by Human Resources for the qualified applicants. The hiring process may take several weeks.  
 

Degree/College Credit Verification

Degrees must be received from appropriately accredited institutions.  Transcripts and degree evaluations may be uploaded with your application.  If applicants earned college credit hours but did not complete a degree program, they must attach an unofficial transcript to each application to receive credit for this education.
