A:

Q:

How do I know if a posted job is still available?

A:

Jobs are displayed for 90 days from the date they are received. If a position is
filled before the posting expires, it is the employer’s responsibility to have the
posting removed from the job bank. As long as the posting is included in the
bank, it is assumed the position is still open.

Q:

How can I get additional information on a job posting beyond what is listed?

A:

Employers post their own jobs, so they decide what information they want the job seeker to have. If you would like additional information regarding a certain job listing, you can contact the employer directly, if contact information is provided, or you might try visiting the company’s corporate web site.

Q:

Can I preview my application before I submit it?

A:

This is not possible at this time, so you will need to review your application information directly on the Application page. A copy of your application will be e-mailed to you after it is submitted, for your records.

Q:

When I apply online, how can I confirm that the employer received my application?

A:

Applications submitted online are acknowledged with an e-mail message that confirms your application was sent and includes a copy of what was submitted. If you submit an application, but do not receive a confirmation, notify BCPE immediately, so we can check whether or not your application was received by the employer.

You can also follow up with the employer if contact information is provided.

Q:

Can I save my application information in case I want to apply for other jobs?

A:

Application information cannot be saved. However, you can copy and paste information into the cover letter and resume fields, so if you keep a copy of a prior application submission acknowledgment, you should be able to paste this information into a new application form, without any trouble.

Q:

Do I have to be certified by BCPE to apply for the jobs posted in the BCPE Job Bank?

A:

No, although certification may be required or preferred by some employers. If it is, it will be noted in the job posting. If you aren’t certified and would like more information about certification, visit our Certification Information section.
