We want you to question.
Q. What is the best way to find open positions?
A. Search through the listings at www.jacobs.com/careers by location, career type or keyword search.
Q: How will submitting my application through the online site help me?
A: This allows our recruiting team to review your information easily and accurately, and share it with other team members if your résumé appears to be a match for an open position. Additionally, our internal recruiters can search through the system at times to find matches existing in the system and may reach out to you to see if you have interest in a different position.
Q: When I tried to apply, I received an Error and couldn’t proceed. What should I do?
A: If you receive an error while applying, the tips below may help.
- Clear all internet cache files including temporary internet files, cookies, etc.
- Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome is the suggested browser. AOL's web browser does not provide favorable results with Oracle iRecruitment
- If the Jacobs Careers web site was reached from a third party web site, please access our site directly at irecruitment.jacobs.com
- Pop-up blockers must be turned off
- Do not use the browser Back and Forward buttons unless no other navigation option exists on the page
- If possible, try not to use a Macintosh computer
- If an error message is received stating "Contact System Admin…", navigate to the previous step and retry the action a few times. If the error still occurs, please log out and try again.
- Microsoft Word 2007 documents attached to your profile will be viewable, but not searchable. In order for your resume to be searchable, you must save in a different format.
Please first consult the tips above, but if you still have issues or receive errors, document details about the specific error received and the point in the process they occurred and send to RecruitTech@jacobs.com for assistance. Screen captures of all issues are very helpful in troubleshooting issues. Only requests for technical assistance will be reviewed at this e-mail address.
Q: Will anyone see my application? If so, who?
A: Yes, when you apply to a specific position, your application can be viewed by members of the Talent Acquisition team, Human Resources and even the hiring manager.
Q: What are Job Preferences, and how do they help me?
A: This is information that helps our system attempt to match you with newly opened positions that appear to relate to your employment interests and location preferences. You will receive e-mail notification if any new positions are opened so you may review the descriptions and decide whether to apply.
Q: If I have not heard from anyone, is there a way for me to find the status of my application?
A: Yes. If you use the login information you created when you registered and click the link to list out your current applications, you will be able to see the current status of your application.
Q: What will the interview process be like?
A: This process varies depending on the position you are applying for, but most interviews entail meeting with your potential manager and some other key staff. They will ask you questions about your previous experiences and skills, and determine how to proceed forward with your application. In some instances, it may be necessary for you to come back for a second interview.
Q: If I was not selected for one position, can I apply for more jobs?
A: Definitely. You may not have been selected for one particular job, but you could be a match for a different position in the future. Apply to the jobs you are interested in and are qualified for.
