How to apply for a job at Purdue University

Three drivers share responsibility on the road to your new job. You: apply for positions that are of interest to you and that you meet the minimum qualifications for. Employment Consultant: reviews your resume for each position that you apply for and determines if you meet the minimum qualifications; forwarding only those that qualify to the hiring supervisor. Hiring Supervisor: determines who the most competitive applicants are. Submit your resume following these steps: Create a username and password. Supply your e-mail address. (Free e-mail accounts are available at Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo.) Complete your online profile, using either of the following methods: Fill out the profile yourself by manually entering all requested information. Attach your electronic resume and let the system fill out your profile for you. (The Web site provides instructions about how to do this.) If you attach a resume in Step 3 (above) when completing your profile, Hiring Supervisors will see your profile, plus a copy of the actual resume you attach. If you do not attach a resume in Step 3, you may do so after completing your profile or at anytime in the future.
