Do I need an email address to apply?
Can I apply for more than one position?
Yes, you may apply to as many positions as you feel qualified for. To do so, access the Job Search page. You will then be able to search for additional positions. Once you hit “Apply Now” you will be prompted to log in to the system and apply.
Is there a way I can keep track of my job submissions?
The system tracks those positions for which you have applied. On the Job Search page, click on the link on the top right called “My Account”. Click on "Application Activity" and you will see all completed submissions, and will have the opportunity to view individual submissions, to edit a submission, or to withdraw yourself from consideration for a particular position. Withdrawals are also tracked on this page.
Top applicants for a position are typically contacted by phone within 1-2 weeks of applying to discuss the next steps in the process. If you are not contacted as a top applicant, you will be notified by email once a decision has been made on your application, or when the position has closed.
Additionally, we politely request that you refrain from calling our office for status updates. Due to the high volume of applications we receive, we are unable to provide status updates.
What is "parsing" a resume?
Parsing your resume means attaching it to your profile, where the system will extract, or parse, information, directly from your resume, to auto-populate various fields in your profile.
I uploaded my resume, but the information that was parsed into my profile is not in the correct fields, or is incomplete. What do I do?
If your resume is highly stylized (borders, text boxes, etc.), there may be some difficulties in parsing. Try using a simple format for your resume. If you continue to have technical difficulties, please contact the Employment Office at (414) 955-8245.
What if I don't have a resume?
You are able to manually enter your work history into the “Build a Resume” section of your profile. Please list dates of employment and each position title, as well as the job duties, responsibilities and reason for leaving.
Why won't my resume attach?
First, make sure that it is in the correct format – all resumes must be uploaded to one of the following formats:
You are able to attach multiple resumes to your profile. If you are continuing to have technical difficulties, please call the Employment Office at (414) 955-8245.
Do I have to submit a cover letter?
You are not required to submit a cover letter. If you choose to do so, you can save multiple cover letters as attachments in your profile.
Can I attach more than one document to my application?
Yes, you can attach up to five (5) documents. You can make changes to any documents or add/delete attachments on your profile at any time by editing your profile.
How do I make changes to my profile?
Login to the Job Search page using your user name and password. Click on the link on the top right called “My Account”. Click on "Account Information" to update your profile.
What should I disclose for the criminal background questions?
According to the Wisconsin Caregiver Law, any employer that is identified as a caregiver institution must conduct background checks, so it is very important to disclose all information that you have in regards to charges you have incurred as well as those charges which may be pending. We ask that you list all crimes and offenses, to include civil forfeitures, misdemeanors, ordinance violations, or fines. You should also disclose any pending charges for any crimes or offenses to include civil forfeitures, misdemeanors, ordinance violations, or fines. Failure to disclose this information on your application will be considered falsification and will remove you from eligibility for employment.
My computer is timing out and won't submit my application. What do I do?
You are able to create your profile in sections, saving at the end of each, so you don't need to worry that you'll lose a lot of information if your computer times out. Once your profile is complete, applying for a position can be done very quickly and at any time. If you continue to have problems submitting an application, please contact the Employment Office at (414) 955-8245.
I applied for some new positions but didn't get a confirmation email. Did my application go through?
You may go to “My Account” in your profile. All of the positions that you applied for will be listed here, letting you know that the application did go through. If you applied for a position that is not listed, the application did not go through and you will want to go back and apply for that position again.
I am having trouble updating my resume. Can I email or fax it to you?
We are unable to accept resumes or applications by fax, mail, or email. All applications and resumes must be submitted online. If you are having difficulty creating a profile or submitting an application, we would ask you to stop in our office, where one of our staff members would be happy to assist you with the application process.
I have a new phone number or address. Can you update this for me?
You can make changes to your profile under "My Account" after logging onto the Job Search page with your user name and password. You can then edit any section of your profile to update or change information.
Can I be automatically notified of new positions that match my qualifications?
You can create and manage saved searches which will conveniently email you when new jobs are posted matching your search. You can access this feature by clicking on "My Accounts" and then "Job Alerts".
How do I use “Saved Jobs”?
If you see a position on the website that is of interest to you, but you are not able to submit an application at that time, or want to consider the position further before application, you can add to "Saved Jobs” through the link below each position. You can access your "Saved Jobs" by going to the link in the top right corner of the page. The number of items currently in your "Saved Jobs" will be indicated next to “Saved Jobs”.
Do you offer clinical rotations or preceptorships for students?
As an academic medical center, one of our primary focuses is education. We offer clinical rotations for students who are looking to complete that experience with the Medical College of Wisconsin. If you are interested in pursuing a clinical rotation, please visit the MCW Advanced Practice Providers site to learn more about available opportunities.
Do you offer volunteer opportunities?
The Medical College of Wisconsin does offer some volunteer opportunities on a limited basis. Because of our status as a non-profit organization, we are only able to take on individuals whose volunteer experience meets certain criteria. Volunteer appointments are initiated by the individual departments within MCW. After you have made arrangements with a department, you will be required to submit a letter of support from your school or program stating why the experience is necessary, go through a background check, and fill out a volunteer application. The department will contact Human Resources to ensure all necessary paperwork has been received and for approval of the experience.
