Online Application FAQs


Can I apply directly with the hiring department?
No. The UA Career Track on-line system is the centralized intake site for all staff, faculty and appointed applications. Only job seekers who complete an on-line application will be considered for employment. If you have already submitted application materials directly to a hiring authority or search committee member, please complete an on-line application as well.

Do I need to create a completely new application for each job posting?
No. Once you have created an on-line application, your application will remain on file in the UA Career Track system and you may access your application at any time by using your user name and password. You can submit your application for any of the posted positions and edit and revise your application as needed to demonstrate your qualifications for each specific job posting.

Can I copy selected information from another electronic document to complete the on-line application?
Yes. For example, you may copy and paste your work experience information from a resume you have created in MS Word or WordPerfect directly into the appropriate fields in the application form.

Cactus in TucsonIf I don't finish my application, can I save it and complete it at a later date?
If you must exit mid-process, continue through the application completing just the required fields (denoted with an asterisk). When you log back onto the system, click on "View/Edit Applications" to complete the remaining fields before applying for a specific position.

Can I re-submit an application for a job posting if I forgot to include information or if I need to change my address or phone number?
You will not be able to make any changes to your application once it has been submitted and the Career Track system will not accept more than one application from you for any single job posting. If you need to change your contact information so that hiring authorities can reach you, contact the UA Human Resources office at (520) 621-3662 for assistance.

Can I withdraw my application after I have submitted it for a specific job posting?
Yes. You may withdraw your application at any time from the "applicant status" page. However, you will not be able to re-apply for that position once you withdraw your application.

What does it mean if I receive a message that I " have not met the minimum qualifications or eligibility requirements?"
If information you submit indicates that you have not met the minimum qualifications of the position for which you have applied, you will receive a message encouraging you to apply for positions more consistent with your qualifications. You will also receive this message if you apply for an internal UA position and you are not a current UA employee, if you fail to submit the required application materials, and/or if you a current UA employee who has not yet completed your probationary period.

How are job vacancies filled?
Hiring authorities and search committee members will access and review all application materials. Based on the minimum and preferred qualifications of the position, the hiring department will select candidates for further consideration and will contact successful candidates for interview or additional information. You can monitor the status of jobs for which you have applied through the on-line system.
