NEW FEATURE:

Apply using a Resume File -- Resume Parsing:

We have implemented a parsing function to the application to make the application process easier. You will now be able to upload your resume to auto-fill matching application fields. If you use this function and upload your resume, it is your responsibility to ensure all information on your application is accurate before submitting.     Click Here for more.

 

Supplemental Questionnaire (SQ) Auto-Copy


We have implemented a feature that will copy your previous answers to the Supplemental Questionnaire (SQ) narratives if you are copying an application with the same title that you applied to before and the question is exactly the same. If your answers are auto-copied into the narrative box of the SQ, it is your responsibility to ensure all information on the application is accurate before submitting.
