Application Tips and Tricks

  • We have gotten feedback from other applicants saying that our system tends to function better when the browser, Firefox, is in use.
    • To download Firefox, click here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
  • If you are using Internet Explorer and are experience issues accessing our application, click on the Compatibility Mode icon found toward the top right of the browser window. It looks like a torn piece of paper and is on the top right of the browser, next to the refresh button.
  • You MUST upload a resume to complete step 1 of the application process. If you do not upload a resume, an error message will appear and you will not be able to submit step 1 of your application.
