Frequently Asked Questions
- How often is the job listing updated with new positions?
New positions are posted as they become available.
- Can I apply for more than one job using a single application?
Yes, from the job search results, select the jobs you like, then click Apply for Jobs.
- How do I log in if I forgot my user name or password?
From the Careers Home Page, click on the Login Help link. You can enter your user name to receive a new password or enter your e-mail address to receive your user name information.
- I did not receive an e-mail acknowledging receipt of my application.
The system automatically generates an acknowledgement to the e-mail address that was entered into your profile. Please go back and verify that you entered a valid e-mail address that can receive automatically generated responses.
- What is the difference between an application and a profile?
A profile contains only your contact information and is not linked to a specific job opening. An application must be linked to a job opening and cannot be completed without selecting a job opening to which to apply. The application contains information about you and your qualifications.
- The system timed out before I could complete my application. Did I lose the work I entered?
If the system timed out prior to clicking on the Save button, you may have lost any information entered. If you don’t see the application listed on My Career Tools page as being in “Not Applied” status then the information was not saved and you will need to restart the process. To avoid system time outs, please click on Save at least once every 15 minutes.
- I have a draft application, but I no longer have an interest in those positions or wish to apply. How do I delete the draft application?
From the My Careers Tools page, click on the position title with a status of Not Applied, then click on Remove at the top of the page. A window will appear asking if you want to delete the row, click on OK.
- If I submit my profile and a job matching my skills opens up later, can I expect to hear from the ADA?
A recruiter may discover your profile when searching the database for matches to job qualifications. However, since a variety of methods are used to fill jobs, it is best to apply for the job that interests you, rather than relying on the recruiters to contact you.
- I didn't find the jobs I expected when I used a common job title in my search.
You may want to search again using keywords that are likely to be used in the job posting.
