What are the advantages to using
eRecruit?
There are several advantages to using
eRecruit. First of all, once you've
applied for a position, you can return to the website and re-apply for new
positions, update your profile or update your resume. Secondly, by submitting an application
through eRecruit, your resume is available to our recruiters immediately.
Can I apply via email, fax, mail
or by directly contacting the human resources department?
Tropical
Shipping and Companies only accept resumes and applications submitted through
the electronic application system.
Can I contact the human
resources department directly?
Please
do not contact the human resources department directly. All applications must
be submitted through the electronic application system.
Why do you exclusively accept
electronic applications? Why don't you accept paper or emailed resumes?
The
advantages of an electronic application system benefit both the applicant and
the hiring department. The eRecruit provides more search options for
applicants, more timely updates to job postings and the ability to apply for
additional jobs without having to submit a new application. In addition,
applications to job postings can be processed in a more expedited fashion and
the human resources department can efficiently screen applicants in order to
fill positions.
What happens to my application
after I submit it?
Once
you apply, you will receive an email confirming your application
submission. All applications are
reviewed and screened against position qualifications. If your application best
meets the position qualifications, you will be contacted directly.
Can I update an application once
it has been submitted?
Once
you have submitted an application, you will not be able to change the
information. The only information that can be changed is information in your
profile, such as address, email address and phone number.
Do I have to re-enter my
information every time I apply?
If
you have previously submitted an application, you can log onto eRecruit with
your email address and password and apply for new positions. The information you previously entered will
populate your new application, so you do not have to re-enter the same
information every time you apply. However, you can update each new application
if you have any changes.
Should I use a specific Web Browser?
Always
use Microsoft Internet Explorer instead of other Web Browsers.
Is there a preferred method for sending my resume and cover letter?
The
system will accept either a Word document format (.doc) or PDF format (.pdf). On step 3, you
can paste your cover letter into the blank area of the Full Text Resume page
and to attach your resume in Word or PDF format by clicking on the Add
Attachment button. Remember that you are limited to
only one attachment.
What are some navigation tips?
c
Never use the Internet Explorer “back”
button to navigate – you will exit the application process and have to start
over! Instead, use “People soft button,
“Next” and “Previous”.
c
Use Peoplesoft “Step Number” circle
buttons on tip of the online application to move backward or, once you have
totally completed the application, you may also move forward.
c
Click “Signout”
on the top right of the web page to close the eRecruit browser window.
