On-line Resume System Announcements

Hiring managers and search committees may now have resumes submitted online for position vacancies posted to the Campus Job Opportunities (CJO) webpage. A red envelope (Image of a Red Envelope) on the CJO posting identifies jobs that accept resumes submitted online.

Activating the feature is fast and simple. Hiring managers identify individuals that need access to the Online Resume System using the Personnel Requisition Form (SUSB 37). Recruiting and Employment Services and the area VP Coordinator have access to all resumes.

There are several benefits associated with using the Online Resume System rather than using a single individual's e-mail account. Please review the comparison below.
