You can search on one or more of the above criteria by following the instructions above. Can I apply for more than one job at a time? Yes, our Online Careers Center provides the opportunity to apply for multiple job opportunities; however you must use the same resume if applying on the same day. Currently, system limitations only allow one resume per day. When completing my online application, the system returned me to the sign on page. What happened? For your protection and privacy, you are allotted 10 minutes of inactivity only. If you stop activity for more than 10 minutes the system will time you out when you return. Typing your resume rather than pasting the resume may cause the system to time out since it will not recognize activity until you click OK on that page. The system does not recognize your e-mail address and password if you do not complete and submit your application. Can I include a cover letter in my online application? Yes, if you choose to provide a cover letter you must paste it with your resume text. Your cover letter will be visible and attached to all requisitions to which you apply to on the same day How can I customize my resume for different open positions? You will need to apply on different days. The resumes are "date" stamped but not "time" stamped. If you customize your resume and apply for one open position in the morning (Aug 2) and another open position in the afternoon (Aug 2), the one in the afternoon will display on both open positions. However, if you apply on Aug 2nd (Resume 1) and Aug 3rd (Resume 2), the open position will display the appropriate resume. I made a mistake in my application. Can I go back in and correct it? If the mistake was to your contact information you can update it at any time. There is no limit to how many times you can update your contact details. However, your resume text and information entered into application fields (i.e. Education, References, etc) cannot be changed if you do not change it the same day. Once you submit an application, the system secures that information for that date. If you change this information on the same day the system will save the last resume and online application submitted. Why can't I view my resume text? You are unable to view your resume text once it has cleared Black & Veatch’s firewall. Please make sure you have checked your resume before submitting your online application. Tip: For a record of the text resume you submitted, save a copy on your personal hard drive or other data device. How will I know that my application has been received?
