  1. Do I need a resume to apply for a job at the U?
    No, you do not need to have a resume to apply but if you do have a resume, you can cut and paste the information to the on-line application form.
  2. How do I cut and paste my resume to the application?
    Just highlight the area you wish to paste on your resume document, then right click your mouse. A window will pop up. Select the "copy" option. Go back to the on-line application. Right click your mouse again and select the "paste" option. Make sure you are in the resume area on the on-line application when you are pasting information.
  3. I am a current employee. How do I get a password for the Campus Information System (CIS) to apply internally.?
    If you never have gone into CIS before, the default password is the month, day, and year in the following format without the slashes: MMDDYY. If that doesn't work call 581-4000 to receive a password.
  4. I didn't enter the information from my resume onto my employment application and now the system won't allow me to re-apply for the same job.
    If you have missing information on your application, you can apply for a new job and add all missing data. If that is the only job you were interested, contact the Employment Front Desk at 581-2169 for further instructions.

After the temporary files are deleted, close all web browsers. Then open up a new browser, login to your account and apply.
  6. My on-line employment application disappeared while I was still working on it! What happened?
    Your application may have disappeared because the on-line application times out after 2 1/2 hours. You will have to start the application process again if your application disappears.
