Absolutely! The first step is to sign in to your account.  Then you may select multiple job postings by clicking the star next to the job titles that you are interested in. That will save those job postings as your “Favorite Jobs.”

From there, click “My Favorite Jobs” from the ribbon at the top of the careers page. Click the checkbox next to the job titles you are interested in applying for and click “Apply for Selected Jobs.” The same application information will be submitted for each selected job posting. 

Please do! You may submit an unsolicited online application by clicking the “Apply Without Selecting a Job” link located at the top or bottom of the Job Search page. 

You will need to apply to a position to do so.

You can attach a resumé to your online application by choosing the “Attach Resume” option found on the “Resume” page of the online application. Only the following resumé formats will be accepted: .doc, .txt, .pdf or .rtf with a maximum size of two MB. You also have the option of copy-pasting your plain text resumé if this is your preference.

Once your resumé has been uploaded, you will have the option of selecting this resumé for use on future job applications. 

From the landing page of the job board, click “My Account Information” from the ribbon at the top of the page. Enter your changes and click the “Save” button. 

Unfortunately, no. Once you have submitted an online application, you will not be able to change the information contained within it. If you need to change the information on your application, please withdraw your original application and submit a new one. 

Job postings are updated daily (Monday to Friday) where we add new job postings and remove those that are no longer available.

Under the Sign In section on the Careers page, click either “Forgot Username” or “Forgot Password.” An email will be sent to you with either the new password or the username associated with that email address. 

Of course! The first step is to sign in to your account.  Then from the job search page, click “My Activities” at the top of the page. This will take you to a list of all applications you have submitted to The Ottawa Hospital, as well as the status of your application. Find the application you wish to withdraw and click on the “Withdraw” button in the far-right column. 

A Job Search Agent is a tool that informs you by email of any new job postings meeting the search criteria you have established. To set up a Job Search Agent, enter your search criteria in the “Keywords” field at the top of the Job Search page and click the “Save Search” button. The “Save Search” page appears where you will enter the name of your search in the “Name My Search” field. Check the “Notify me when new jobs meet my criteria” box and enter an email address where you want the results to be sent. The system will send an email notifying you of the job openings meeting your search criteria. You may edit or remove these searches by accessing the “My Saved Searches” link at the top of the page.

The screening process is directly linked to the information provided in your online application. It is important to complete all pertinent sections of the application to receive full consideration. 

Attaching a resumé is optional, however we do strongly recommend applying with one. If you choose to apply without using a resumé, please ensure that your previous employment and education information is properly entered and clear.

You can view the list of job openings for which you applied to by clicking the “My Activities” button. The “Applications” section will list all the job postings you applied for, the status of the application and the application date. 

The status of each application displays in the “Status” column of “Applications” under “My Activities”. 

If you have already submitted an application in the past, the information you entered will populate in your new application, so you do not have to re-enter the same information every time you apply. If you want to edit the information for the new position, you may do so. 

The red box indicates that your entry in the highlighted area does not match anything in our list or the format is incorrect. Clear out any typing in the red area and use the magnifying glass, dropdown arrow feature to the right or calendar icon to populate the data.
