On July 30, the Jobs@UVa online application system replaced the University’s paper-based application system, providing many upgraded capabilities and improved customer service. With the new system you can:

• Access your information 24/7 from any computer with Internet access
• Create, save and edit applications and check application status during job search process
• Search and apply for specific jobs
• Attach resumes and cover letters

The new system also allows faster posting of job openings and processing of applicant information.
 
Paper applications on file before July 30 expired when the new system launched, unless a candidate was already under consideration for a particular position. UHR recommends that all job-seekers re-apply using Jobs@UVa.

Jobs@UVa is easy to use for those who have previously used an online employment service or other online forms. To get help you can:

• Use the online tutorial ("Applicant Tutorial" available from Jobs@UVa at https://jobs.virginia.edu)
