I’d like to personalize my cover letter to the appropriate individual. How can I find out his or her name?
It’s not necessary to address a cover letter to a specific individual. Various recruiters and hiring managers may be working with your application to find the best fit for you.

How do I upload a cover letter to my application?
To do this, you must complete and submit your application. You will then be on the My Career Tools page. From here you can upload a cover letter as an attachment to your application and it will be visible to all recruiters.

I am having trouble with the application school code. What should I do?
If you are unable to locate your school code in the list, you can type in the name of your school in the box labeled “Other.”

What format should my resume be in?
Please submit your resume in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF.

The latest version of either Internet Explorer or Firefox. Using other browsers may result in errors or the inability to properly complete the application process.

I applied online and have not received feedback. What’s the status?
Make certain you applied for a specific position online on our website. Confirm this by checking for your “receipt of application” email. If you are interested in being considered immediately, please apply online for that specific open position. Due to the high volume of applicants, not all candidates will be contacted directly following submission.

How will I be notified if I’m not considered for a position?
You may be notified by email if you are not being considered for a position.

What should I bring to my interview?
All candidates should bring an updated copy of their resume/CV and any other information that would assist the recruiter in evaluating competencies for the position of interest. We expect you to be prepared with the following information:
- Full legal name, former names, present and previous address history. Comprehensive Employment History: 10 to 15 years.
- For each employer: start and end date of employment, title and supervisor’s contact info.
- Contact information for three recent professional references including title and organization.
- Educational history including name, address and date of graduation, if post secondary education.

Is there a hospital dress code?
The hospital is judged in large part by the people who work for it. For this reason, it’s important that employees maintain a neat appearance and proper hygiene. For positions that do not require uniforms, employees are expected to wear proper-fitting clothing that will bring credit to the hospital.

Is there an orientation program?
All new full-time, part-time and temporary employees attend the hospital-wide orientation program within 30 days of their start date.
