How do I submit a résumé?

Each job posting you view after searching our job listings will have a button at the bottom that will allow you to apply using our online response form. Once you are brought to the response form, be sure to choose a source, letting us know how you heard about us and fill in the other required information. Once you hit the submit button, your résumé will become part of our searchable database. Submitting your résumé more than once will NOT increase your chances of being contacted. We will contact you if your skills and qualifications meet the qualifications and are considered a best fit for the position we are trying to fill.

What if I do not have a résumé? Can I fill out an employment application?

You can fill out an online application form by using the link to our online application on the search page. Your application will be entered into our searchable database just as a résumé would. We will contact you if your skills and qualifications meet the qualifications and are considered a best fit for the position we are trying to fill.

What is a source and why am I required to select one?

The source lets us know where you saw the position advertised or where you heard about us. There are two source drop-down menus that you are required to choose from when you submit a résumé via our online response form. Please use the first drop-down to choose from a list of high-level categories like advertisements, job boards, job fairs, etc. Next, use the second drop-down menu to indicate the specific source, i.e. the name of the advertisement, job board or job fair.

Why can't I submit my résumé via U.S. Mail or FAX?

We receive thousands of résumés and paper résumés take much longer to process. Résumés received via our online response form reach the database almost instantaneously. You could miss the window of opportunity for a position because of the processing delay. Due to the volume of résumés received and the processing time, it is not ITT's policy to accept paper résumés, please apply online. No unsolicited Agency résumés will be accepted.

How do I use the Refer a Friend link?

The Refer a Friend link allows you to send an email to a friend who may be interested in the job opportunity you are currently viewing.

Why am I prompted to fill out additional information when I apply for some employment opportunities but not for others?

If we have additional requirements for a specific position or need additional information from you, we will include these screening questions at the end of the submit résumé page. These questions help us to determine if you are a good match for the position you are applying for. Even if we determine that you are not a good match for the particular position you are applying for, you will still enter our searchable database of résumés and may be considered for another position we are recruiting for.

I'd like to be able to include a cover letter with my résumé, addressed to the appropriate individual. How can I find out the name of the appropriate individual?

All résumés received are attached directly to the open job requisition for the hiring manager to view. Your résumé will also remain in a central database and sorted by job applied for and skill set for future openings. It is not necessary to address a cover letter to a specific individual. If you would like to include a cover letter, you can paste it in the résumé text field after the text of your résumé.

What if a position I am interested in is not listed on the careers page? Can I submit a résumé anyway?

You will be in our searchable database and may be considered for other positions other than the one you applied for. It is important to note that you should NOT submit your résumé multiple times as this will NOT increase your chances of being contacted. The only time you should send us another copy of your résumé is if the résumé includes updated information.

How do I know if you received my résumé via the online response form?

Once you have submitted your résumé, a popup window will appear thanking you for your submission. An email confirmation will also be sent directly to your email address. The appearance of these messages is your confirmation that we have received your résumé. If a problem occurs during the transmission of your résumé, a pop-up window will appear with the error/reason for the problem. You will be asked to re-submit your résumé at that time.

I submitted my résumé through the online response form but I’d like to mail it to you just to make sure you received it.

If you received the confirmation message, you can be sure we received your résumé. It is important to note that you should NOT submit your résumé multiple times as this will NOT increase your chances of being contacted. The only time you should send us another copy of your résumé is if the résumé includes updated information.

I tried to submit my résumé using the online response form but the Web page indicated there was an error. What should I do?

Will I be notified one way or the other if the job is filled or if I make it to the next step in the application process?

If you received the confirmation message, you can be sure we received your résumé. If your skills and qualifications match what we are looking for and you are considered a best fit for the position, a representative from HR will contact you for further information. It is important to note that you should NOT submit your résumé multiple times to the same position as this will NOT increase your chances of being contacted. In fact, submitting your résumé multiple times may result in résumé processing delays.

How long are job postings generally on the Web site? Are they posted for a specific amount of time, or until the job is filled?

A position remains on our website until it is filled.
