Uploading and Submitting Your Resume for On-Campus Recruiting

Uploading Your Resume and Other Documents

You may browse through the On-Campus Recruiting opportunities listed in your account at any time, but to apply you will need to upload your resume and any other documents (cover letters, transcripts, writing samples, etc.) that the employer requires. Documents may be word processing documents (such as Microsoft Word) or PDFs. The former is recommended since PDF documents occasionally encounter technical difficulties.

Important: Uploading your resume does not mean that any employers will automatically receive your resume. Keep reading to learn how to make sure they will receive it.

How to upload your resume:

1. Log into your J-Connect account.
2. Click “Documents” tab at the top of the screen
3. Click on the “Add New” button.
4. On the following page in the “Label” field, give your resume a descriptive name (for example, “First Name Last Name Date Banking”).
5. Select the document type.
6. Click on “Browse” to find your resume on your hard drive or on a disk and then double-click on the file to be upload­ed.
7. Click on “Submit.”

Note…You still need to apply.

Creating a J-Connect account and uploading your resume does not mean that employers receive your resume automatically. To send your resume, view the available OCR opportunities and submit your resume for each individual opportunity in which you are interested. (See “Submitting a Resume” below for details.)

Throughout your job or internship search, you will probably want to update, remove, or add new resumes. This can also be accomplished through the Documents area of your J-Connect account. If you have an updated resume, you can either add it or use it to replace an old resume in your account.

Are you confident about your resume?

Creating a resume is very different from writing a paper. Even highly skilled writers will find that they need to employ a new techniques to create an effective resume. Before submitting your resume to OCR employers, spend time on your resume and seek assistance from experts like the Career Center, alumni, and professionals working in the fields that interest you.

Uploading Resumes and Other Documents

If you upload more than one resume, be sure to designate a general resume as your default resume. If you are interested in several fields, say Investment Banking, Software Development, and Consulting, create a default resume that would function well for all three fields. Your default resume is the resume that the Career Center and employers download for Resume Books .

• Once you have uploaded your resume, you may want to view the PDF version of your re­sume to ensure that it looks right.
• “Delete” will completely remove your resume from the website.

Submitting a Resume

For organizations interviewing on campus, all resumes are submitted via your J-Connect account. Cover letters and other documents may also be required by employers and are also submitted the same way. In addition, employers often collect resumes at information sessions and at Johns Hopkins career fairs and will frequently select students for on-campus interviews from among those resumes.

How to Submit a Resume

2. From your Quicklinks on the homepage, click on the “On-Campus Recruiting Opportunities I Qualify For” link.
