Why should I apply on-line?

It is much better to apply online because your resume is instantly forwarded to the search chair so lag time is eliminated. When an application comes in via mail or fax it takes longer to receive, then must be processed before being electronically forwarded to the search chair.

Can I email my resume instead of uploading it to the website?

The preferred method of submitting your resume and cover letter is to upload it on our website. By doing so, it is sent directly to the search chair and is recorded in our system. It is also possible to email your resume but there will be a slight delay to process you application before it is sent to the search chair. We strongly recommend uploading your resume on our website to apply.

What about paper resumes?

When we receive paper resumes by mail or fax they are scanned and forwarded to the search chair electronically. Search chairs do not receive paper copies from applicants, even if they come to our office that way.

How will I know if my resume was received?

The webpage guides you through the application process. You will receive a confirmation email informing you that your resume was received.

May I contact the search chair/hiring supervisor about this position?

No, St. Thomas is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We want to ensure all candidates have a fair chance, so we do not give that information out during an open search. After reviewing the resumes received, the search committee will contact those who best fit the qualifications for the position they are filling.

What is the deadline for this position?

Positions are posted on our website for a minimum of 10 days. While they may remain on the website longer to assure that the best applicant is selected, we do not accept resumes after a position has been removed from the website.

To whom should I address my cover letter?

Address it to the search committee. We do not give out name or contact information for search chairs.

Do you keep my resume on file if I have applied for a position before?

If you have applied for a position online in the past we have your profile saved in our system, however you must upload a new application/resume each time you apply to a different position. This allows you to tailor your cover letter and resume specifically to each position.

Where can I post off-campus job opportunities on the UST web site?

You can place off-campus postings on UST's Career Development Center (CDC) web site at: http://www.stthomas.edu/careerdevelopment/.  If you have any questions about off-campus postings you can contact the CDC at career@stthomas.edu or 651.962.6761.
