A. Please do not click submit more then one time. You also should not wait for a long period of time. If your application is taking more then a few seconds to submit, there may be a problem.

Q. I received confirmation via e-mail and sent a reply to that e-mail address, but I did not hear anything back?
A. The confirmation e-mail sent to you is generated by our database after you submit your information. This is to assure you that we have received your application, but does not come from any particular e-mail address. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL. Your reply does not go to any individuals, and will go nowhere. It will automatically be deleted by our system.

Q. I applied once before and now I can't remember the login or password that I used.
A. You may retrieve your login and password information by clicking on the links at the bottom of the application. To retrieve your password, click the link and enter your username and last name and the last four digits of your Social Security Number. Your password will then be e-mailed to your e-mail address.
Your username will be
your e-mail address that you entered when you first signed up; be sure to enter
this e-mail correctly when logging in.
If you typed your
e-mail address incorrectly when first applying, our system may not be able to
identify you.
Unfortunately, the system that is used does not allow us to reset your password. If at this point it doesn't work and you are positive you've entered your e-mail address correctly, you may need to start a new application or contact us to retrieve the e-mail address used when you applied initially.

Q. Every time I click on the "Apply Now" button I get "cannot find the position - error page."? What is wrong?
A. Sometimes when a position is modified or filled, the link to that position will change. If you are attempting to access a position from the Hot Jobs page, please search for that position name in the search field on the Search Jobs page. If you cannot find it, you can browse the listing by facility to find that position. If you still cannot find it, it is likely that the position has been filled.

Q. I filled out the application, but I didn't get an e-mail back. That must mean that you didn't get my application. How do I verify?
A. If you completed the application form and hit the submit button, we received your application. Just because you did not get an e-mail response does not mean that we did not get your application. There are a number of factors that could cause you not to receive an automated response via e-mail. They usually include one or more of the following: possible mis-typing of your e-mail address, spam filters set on your ISP mail servers rejecting our e-mail, temporary downtime or delays in mail routing, etc.

Q. When I am trying to submit my application, I get pop-up message boxes saying my application is incomplete or the information I entered is wrong. I put in the correct information, what is wrong?
A. This message is letting you know that the required fields, marked with a red asterisk, are not filled out or not filled out correctly. Go back through your application and make sure you completed all of the fields marked with an asterisk. Certain fields in the application require information to be submitted in the correct format. For instance, employment dates must have two (2) digits for the month and four (4) digits for the year. The application cannot be submitted unless these required fields are filled out completely and correctly.

Q. I applied for a job a couple of weeks ago, but my address/phone number has changed. How can I go back in and change it?
A. Once you have submitted your application you cannot go back in and edit the information. You will have to apply for the position again and update your address/phone number then.
