I do not have an e-mail address. How can I apply for employment?
We maintain the vast majority of communication with our candidates via e-mail and this is also how you can stay informed about new job openings, so it is important to have an e-mail address. If you do not currently have an e-mail address, please create an e-mail account with one of the free services like Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail, Mail.com, or AOL. Please select the e-mail provider you would like to host your free e-mail account and follow their instructions for account set up. If you use spaces in your e-mail account name, please note that it may not work with our online application form.
Can I submit my resume online?
Yes, you may submit your resume online. In fact, by uploading your resume on our site, our software will automatically populate some fields on the application for you. You will then only need to fill in the additional fields to apply.
What kinds of file attachments are accepted?
Microsoft Word (.doc), Adobe PDF, and other text formats (txt, rtf) are the preferred formats.
Can I copy selected information from another electronic document?
Yes, you can copy and paste the information from any text format document, such as Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, Notepad, or other text formats directly into the appropriate fields in the application form.
Can I apply for employment if I do not have a resume?
Yes. If you do not have a resume, you can still search and then apply for a job by filling out our online employment application form at http://www.cytiva.com/mms/ext/cojobsMMS.asp. This form contains all the necessary information and in the cover letter and resume sections you will be able to create your letter and resume.
What if I am not ready to fill out the online application at this time?
If you have started, but do not wish to complete the online application at this time, just simply close the browser window and with that all your information will be deleted.
What if I am unable to fully complete my application at this time?
Unfortunately you cannot partially complete and save the application form, so please make sure you have all the necessary information ready before you start the online application process. Please allow yourself enough time to fill out the initial application; all required fields must be completed, otherwise you won't be able to submit your application to us. We have kept the number of required fields small, although we certainly appreciate additional information. You will only need to do this the very first time you use our online application system, after that you'll be able to access your profile online and make changes.
Can I drop off, mail, fax, or e-mail my resume to you?
We are no longer able to accept resumes via drop off, mail, e-mail, or fax. To be considered an applicant, you must apply online at http://www.cytiva.com/mms/ext/cojobsMMS.asp.
If I have applied for a job opening using your online application, should I also send my resume to you via mail or fax?
No. It's not necessary to send a hard copy of your resume. Applying online is the best way to be considered for our job openings. We maintain a secure website where all of your information is protected.
I do not have a computer; how should I apply online?
If you do not own a computer, please check with your local public library and/or the local Department of Labor office (Career Center) for resources and assistance with job search and applications.
Do I have to include my Social Security Number (SSN/SIN) to apply?
You do not have to provide us with your Social Security Number for the initial application.
Is it safe to enter my information on your website?
Yes, our web pages are secure and are certified by VeriSign. We take the utmost care to protect your information whether you are shopping on our website or applying for employment.
Can I just submit my resume for future consideration and without applying for a specific position now?
No. You will need to apply for an open position. Feel free to continue visiting our career site for new opportunities
Will I be considered for other positions when applying for a specific position or do I need to apply separately for each position I am interested in?
It is possible your profile may be considered for other current or future positions should you fit the specific job requirements of those positions. However, if you'd like to be considered for a particular position it is recommended that you apply online directly for each position that is of interest to you. Once you have applied for a position, your online profile will be stored in our system which you will be able to access with your username (email address) and password. You can use the same profile to apply for several jobs.
After You Apply
What happens to my job application once I hit the submit button?
Your resume enters our applicant tracking system. This system provides us with a talent pool and serves as one of many sourcing sites for our recruiters to identify candidates for specific job openings.
After I submit my job application will I receive a response?
When you first register on our website and submit your profile or when you apply for a specific position, you will receive an acknowledgement e-mail that we have received your submission. After that we will contact all candidates directly who are selected for an interview. .
Will I hear back from a Recruiter?
If your qualifications, background and skills closely match the job requirements of a position, then a Recruiter will contact you. A Recruiter may also contact you if additional information or clarification is needed regarding your skills and experience. If a Recruiter does not contact you, please feel free to continue to visit our career site to search for new career opportunities.
How do I change or update my information on my online resume profile?
When first registering your information through our online application system, your email address becomes your username and you will be asked to create a password. With your username (email address) and password, you have the ability to log back in to your application and update any information. If there is a change in your skills or employment history (for example, you want to add a new employer to your profile) or you need to update your contact information, you can log in at your convenience to make those updates.
HELP! I've forgotten my password!
There is a link on the login screen labeled "Forgot Password?" Click on this link and then enter the e-mail address you used when you created your resume profile. The system will automatically e-mail your password information.
HELP! I cannot remember my "Username". How can I access my resume?
Please note that your username is your email address. If you cannot remember the e-mail address you used, then please contact us via phone and our system administrator will attempt to find the email address you used. If we cannot locate your information you will need to create an entirely new profile, so please write down your username and password when you first register.
