Once you submit your resume to the Resumix applicant database, skill terms are extracted from the text of your resume.  When a vacancy occurs, a resume search is done in the database to locate applicants with the skills needed to perform the duties of the vacant position.  If your skills match the required skills of the position, the department may contact you.

If you have already submitted a resume to the Resumix applicant database within the last 12 months that clearly identifies your education, experience, certification, knowledge, skills and abilities, you do not need to submit another.  However, to ensure consideration for a particular vacancy, you are strongly encouraged to apply to the vacancy once you verify that your resume is up-to-date and complete.

How to Apply: You are strongly encouraged to submit your resume through the online Resume Builder.  You may copy and paste in your existing resume or let the software create a resume for you.  You may edit your resume later should your contact information or experience change.  The Resume Builder also collects your work preference information so we can match you with future job openings that meet your interests.
