After clicking the Apply button, why am I asked to enter my email address?
If you're not logged in, you may be taken to the Sign In page after clicking Apply Now. By inputting your email address, the system will identify whether you're a new applicant or a returning applicant with an existing profile. It will then direct you to the next logical step in your application.

How will I know if my application was received?
After you click Submit, you will receive an instant notification in the browser and a confirmation email.

How can I check the status of the job I've applied to?
You can check the status of any position you have applied to by logging in to your account. Click My Job Applications on the upper right-hand corner of the page. The dashboard will display all positions you've applied to, along with the status of each one.

What does it mean if my status says Active? Closed?
This is the status of the position you have applied for. If the status is listed as active, it means the job posting is still open and accepting applications. If the status is listed as closed, the job posting has closed to applicants. The status does not indicate your position in the hiring process. We will only contact applicants under consideration to advance to the next stage of the hiring process.

How can I update the information in my online profile (including my resume)?
To update your information, log in to your account and click the Profile button. On your profile page, you can update your personal information, including your resume. When finished, click Save at the bottom of each page.

Can I submit my resume for general consideration rather than applying to a specific job?
To ensure your resume is considered for a specific job posting, you must apply to the position and attach your resume at the time of application. You may submit your resume to our general database when you update your profile, however we consider applicants who apply to specific job postings first.

How can I search for a job on the career site?
Job postings are listed by closing date, with the earliest closing date listed first. If there are multiple postings, you can search by job type, or use additional filters such as location and department, to narrow your search.

I'm interested in receiving general job updates and other notifications from Clarington. How can I do this?
Sign up to receive job alerts by logging in to your account/profile and clicking the Job Alerts button. Select the Subscribe to Job Alerts Default box and click Save.

Is there anything I can do to prevent Clarington’s email alerts from going to my spam/junk folder?
When you create a new account, you should receive an email from us asking you to confirm your email address. If it doesn’t appear in your inbox, check your junk/spam folder. Open the email and mark the message as "Not Junk" or follow the steps provided by your email provider to move messages from Clarington to your "Safe List."

Similarly, when you submit a job application, you should receive an email confirming that we have received your application. Check your email inbox right away to make sure you’ve received confirmation. If not, check your junk/spam folder.
