Searching and applying for jobs
Refine your job search. Use the Job Family dropdown to see all jobs in defined career fields. You can then further refine your results by using other filters or adding a keyword search.
Looking for temporary opportunities? Enter 鈥渢emporary鈥� in the search box. Consider applying to the UTemp requisition to be considered for a broad range of temporary job opportunities 鈥� just search for the keyword 鈥淯Temp.鈥�
A note about search results: The search feature doesn鈥檛 rank results by relevancy. Instead, it pulls in any job that uses the word you searched for as long as it appears somewhere in the job description.
How to begin
After you鈥檝e found a job you鈥檙e interested in, select the Apply button. You鈥檒l be provided three options for starting your application:
- Autofill with Resume: The system will automatically fill in some of your education and work history once you upload your resume. You鈥檒l still need to review each field for accuracy and make updates as needed.
- Apply Manually: You鈥檒l fill in your education and work history yourself. While you鈥檒l still upload your resume at the end of the process, completing your application manually allows you more control over what to include in each section.
- Use My Last Application: The system will automatically populate your education and work history from your last UW application (if available). You鈥檒l still want to review each field to make sure your information is up to date and still accurate.
Create or sign into your account
Once you鈥檝e selected how to apply, you鈥檒l be asked to create an account 鈥� or sign into your existing account if you鈥檝e applied through UW鈥檚 Workday Recruiting system before.
Tip: If you鈥檝e created an account previously, find the 鈥淪ign In鈥� link at the top right of the Careers at UW page.
Complete and submit your application
Once you鈥檝e signed into your account, you鈥檒l be asked to:
- Provide your contact information.
- Enter or review and update your education and work experience 鈥� this may include copying and pasting information from your resume into the system.
- Important: To be considered, your application must meet all Required Qualifications listed on the job posting.
- Upload your resume and any requested materials, like a cover letter or writing samples 鈥� be sure to check the job description carefully so you don鈥檛 miss anything.
- Complete any required assessment, such as work authorization and demographic questionnaires.
Before you finish, carefully review all sections to make sure everything looks accurate and complete. You will not be able to edit your application in Workday once you submit it. If you have made an error, you can 鈥渄elete your application鈥� from the Candidate Home tab and re-apply with your updated information.
Don鈥檛 forget to select the Submit button to ensure your application is received!
