I have submitted my application, how will I know if I am successful?

Once the vacancy has closed, the selection panel will review every application that has been submitted and agree which candidates they would like to interview for the role. All candidates will be notified by email as to whether they have been successful at this stage. If there are any significant delays to the selection process due to panel members’ commitments you will be sent an email to inform you.

 

I would prefer not to be contacted by email, is this possible?

The correspondence automatically generated by the system will be sent by email e.g. details of your account, requesting a new password, confirmation that your application has been submitted and completion of a pre-employment health assessment questionnaire, where relevant, if you are successful. However, if it is difficult for you to access the email address you have supplied you may request that you are contacted by alternative means, with regard to interviews only, in your Application Statement.

 

I no longer wish to be considered for the vacancy, how do I withdraw my application?

You are able to withdraw your application in the My Applications screen. University staff are not able to withdraw your application on your behalf.

To do this, log back into the system using the Log In link in the Your Account box on the right of the University’s Jobs web page and click on the My Applications link below the Employment Opportunities tab. Click on the square to the left of the application you wish to withdraw. This will highlight the application and the line will turn orange. You may then click on the Delete/Withdraw button.

** It is important to note that you will not be able to edit your original application once you have withdrawn it. If you withdraw your application once the vacancy is beyond its closing date you will not be able to submit a new application for this job and will have prevented yourself from being considered for the role.
