Frequently Asked Questions

How do I go about submitting my cover letter and my resume?

With MATCH, you have a few different submission options as a first-time applicant. You can cut and paste your cover letter and resume, directly "upload" your resume into the system, or build a resume when you apply for a job. However, if you apply for multiple jobs at one time, you may want to submit a more "general" cover letter so that your application materials can be referred out to other positions for which you qualify.
