Application

Q:Can I save my incomplete application and return to complete it at a later time?A:Yes. You may logout of your application at any time and return later. When you are ready to complete your application, enter your username and password and you will be allowed to continue your application if the job posting is still open.Back to TopQ:How do I apply for a job?A:Once you find a job you would like to apply for simply click on the title of the job (e.g. "Maintenance Technician"). Then you will review a description of the job and click on the Apply for This Position button. At this point you will either need to login to an existing account you have already created or create a new account. To create a new account click on Create A New Account And Apply For This Position button. Then answer the on-screen questions to create an account. You must complete all required fields and click the "Save and Submit" button at the end of the application. When your application is successfully submitted, you will receive a Confirmation Number. You can use this confirmation number to reference a specific application.Back to TopQ:I have updated my profile but when I view a PDF of my application it shows the old information. Is there any way to overwrite this?A:When you submit an application, the system locks your answers in permanently. HR departments are aware of this and know to check candidate profiles for updated information.Back to TopQ:What happens if I withdraw my application?A:If you withdraw your application the district will no longer consider you for the position from which you are withdrawing. If you withdraw by mistake, please contact the district and they can re-activate your application.Back to TopQ:Hello:

I have started filling out the application in the old system, and I would like to add more information to the new system. I tried to login with the username provided in the old application, but I am not able to log in with it. Do I need to create a new username and password and start all over in the new system? Thank you very much.A:Good afternoon!

The login and password for the old system will not work for the new system. You will need to create an application in the new system and begin the process again. If you need to print your application from the old system for reference there is a link provided on our website at the bottom of the Employment Opportunities page in red.

Thank you.Back to TopQ:I see my original reference letters that were on my application are no longer there. I am unsure how to have them attached to my new application since the letters of recommendation go directly to the district. Can you please see if there is a way to get my reference letters back onto my application, or do I need to have new ones completed?A:Good morning!

Your previous application had reference forms, different from reference letters. The forms are confidential, and are not accessible or transferable to the new system. As part of the new application system, you will be required to enter email addresses for those individuals you would like to provide a reference for you, and the system will automatically send them a request to complete the reference survey.

Thank you.Back to TopQ:I am not able to log onto my account.A:Good afternoon!

If you would like to access our old employment system with your previous login and password, the link is available at the bottom of our Employment Opportunities page in red through March 15, 2016. You will have the ability to print your old application for reference in creating a new application in the new system.

Thank you.Back to TopQ:How do I create a new application without having to apply for a position?A:Good afternoon!

For current employees of South Kitsap School District, at the top of the Employment Opportunities page to the far right, click on Internal. This will open a screen which will prompt you to then click on "Yes, I am an employee". A screen should then open allowing you to create a profile, including a username and password. Until a position you would like to apply to is available, the system will not have the option of creating an application beyond the profile.

Attachment

Q:What types of files do you accept for Resume, Cover Letter, Letters of Reference etc?A:All files attached to your application must be in .txt, .rtf, .pdf, .docx, or .doc format. If you need to upload an image or scan, you must convert it to pdf or place it into a Word doc file.Back to TopQ:Can I upload more attachments?A:You are currently limited to a maximum of six (6) upload documents. These will carry over to other applications if you apply for more than one job.Back to TopQ:Can I upload a separate group of attachments for each job posting to which I apply?A:At this time there is no way to upload different attachments for different job postings. If you overwrite your current attachments with new ones then the old versions will no longer be viewable by the district.Back to TopQ:Can I upload different cover letters for each job posting to which I apply?A:There is currently no way to upload different cover letters for each job to which you apply. It is best to use a generic cover letter when adding one to your attachments page. This may be unnecessary in some cases where districts have a specific page on their application for you to type your cover letter.Back to TopQ:I have already submitted an application for a position it doesn't close until Monday. Is there any way to add additional letters of recommendation. I just received 2.A:Good morning!

Yes. You will need to login to your application and then select the Profile tab. You will then proceed through the application by clicking on the Save and Continue button at the bottom of each section until you get to the Attachments. Then, you may upload your two letters of recommendation to the appropriate area. It will be necessary to scan both letters into ONE document and then upload. If you were to receive more letters, please keep in mind each upload will REPLACE what is already there, so you would want to be sure to save copies of all letters you receive and then upload as one document.

Thank you.Back to Top
