Suggestions

REASON FOR LEAVING – Please indicate why you left each position. Please do not say "other position" as a reason for leaving. We want to know what made you choose to leave one employer/position for the other.
"SEE RESUME" – Please do not fill in the application with "see resume" instead of actually writing in the information you are being asked for. The resume will not provide all of the information we are seeking and we would like to see it all in one place, rather than having to refer back and forth to multiple documents.
MAY WE CONTACT – We understand an applicant's concern about the possibility of us contacting a current employer; however, when an applicant lists "no" to contacting previous employers that will appear as a "red flag" and may cause a hiring manager to decline interest in your application.
SKILLS – This section is optional. You can list any skills you have that may pertain to the position, such as computer skills, specific clinical skills, etc.
AVAILABILITY – Many of our positions require some weekend rotation, if you mark yourself as unavailable for weekends you may disqualify yourself for those positions. If you are open to working weekends as part of a rotation, it is better to indicate availability and clarify any limits during the phone screen.
REFERENCES – We do not check personal references. Please list 3 professional references and make sure one of those is a person who has managed or supervised your work. Please do not list the HR department as a reference. We need to speak to someone who will answer specific questions about your work, and HR will typically only provide dates of employment. It is very helpful to provide email addresses for your references if at all possible. Email will allow them to complete the information at a convenient time rather than being interrupted during work, and will also prevent a situation of playing "phone tag".

Additional Information

"Returning Candidate" feature – If your personal information changes you can access your profile by logging in with your email address and zip code from our career page. This feature will also allow you to check the status of your application.
