Yes, you can upload documents at any time. The hiring official will have access to anything you add as soon as you upload it. Remember, they may have already viewed your documents, so you may want to tell the hiring official about a new document if they call you about your application or for an interview.

You can upload up to 25 documents a month. Only include one resumé that is current and relevant to the position you are applying to. Upload one new cover letter for each job you apply for.

If you are uploading transcripts, only upload your latest transcripts.

Make sure you include the IRC number when you name the document you upload. This will help a hiring manager distinguish the various documents you may have in your profile.

Address your cover letter to Hiring Committee, the HR Generalist's name, or directly to the manager if the manager’s name is shown in the vacancy posting.

You do not need to create a new resumé for each job you apply for, however, you will need to create a cover letter that is specific to each job you apply for.

Make sure the name of each document file includes your name, document type (resumé, cover letter), and the IRC number (the Vacancy Name number in blue).
