Human
Resources
Electronic
application ready for use first week of August
By Susan
A. Carkeek, Associate Vice President/Director Human Resources
The Department
of Human Resources, in cooperation with the EMIS Project, has
developed a new electronic system for hiring UNM staff that
will be ready for use by the first week of August. The new system
will eliminate paperwork and allow HR staff to proactively recruit
in the local community and across the country.
Dubbed
eJOBS, this system incorporates Job Finder, the
web-based tool that notifies applicants by email or telephone
about new UNM job announcements. Applicants will complete one
employment application via the web and use it for any job for
which they apply. Applications can be revised and updated at
any time. eJOBS can be accessed at http://ejobs.unm.edu.
eJOBS will
develop a resume for each applicant based on the data entered
by the applicant. Resumes can be tailored for specific jobs.
The resume format is flexible enough to accommodate many different
kinds of work experience. In addition to being used for UNM
staff jobs, the eJOBS resume can be printed out and used whenever
a resume is needed. eJOBS also allows applicants to develop,
print and save a cover letter.
Applicants
can develop their application/resume and cover letter by typing
directly into the eJOBS program or they can cut and paste text
from existing electronic resumes or cover letters into eJOBS.
The completed application/resume can be submitted to Human Resources
electronically, through the eJOBS program, or it can be printed
and submitted by fax or in person.
This is
the first phase of an all-electronic employment process, to
be fully implemented later this year that will allow us to electronically
screen and refer applications to hiring departments via the
web.
To support
the program, we will open an off-campus Employment Center, located
at the new Lobo Center, by the first week in January.
The Employment
Center will have free parking and computer workstations for
applicants. HR staff will be available to assist applicants
with the electronic application as well as answer questions
about UNM employment.
In the
meantime, applicant workstations will be available at 1717 Roma
and the Health Sciences Center Human Resources office. Temporary
Services staff has moved to 1712 Las Lomas to accommodate this
change.
We encourage
anyone looking for a staff job at UNM to register for Job Finder
(http://jobfinder.unm.edu)
to be notified about open job announcements.
