CUNYfirst Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to register to search for jobs?

No. A User Name and Password are only required when you apply for a position.

Are there rules for User Name and Password?

No. We recommend that you write down your User Name and Password or save them in an appropriate place so you can keep track of your current or future job applications.

Which sections must I complete?

The required information for on-line applicants is:

• Personal Information - Name, Address, Phone Number and Email Address
• Cover letter and resume (must be uploaded as one document)
• Gender and Ethnicity Questionnaire (if you choose to self identify)

What happens if I don't submit all the required information?

Your application will not be sent to the Search Committee.

How do I submit the required cover letter and resume?

Attach both items as as one document when you complete the application. Note that this document must be in .doc, .pdf or text format.

Can an application be revised after it is submitted?

No. An application cannot be revised once it has been submitted. You will need to complete another application.

Whom do I contact if I need assistance?
