How often do you update job postings on the UBC website?

We update job postings regularly. So please check back frequently. You can also create a search agent which will notify you of new job postings for which you're qualified (see question 6 for instructions).

How should I submit my résumé or CV?

Once you locate an appropriate job posting online, you'll be asked (note the question in red type) how you heard about UBC. Answer that question, then click on "Submit Your Résumé to this Job." If you're a first-time user, you can either upload your résumé or complete the online response form. If you're a returning user, you can use your password to bypass this process.

Do you prefer hard copy or online submissions?

The benefit to online submissions is that your credentials become part of our searchable database immediately. The Human Resources (HR) Manager will receive your information the same day, enabling him/her to forward it to the appropriate hiring manager. This process also permits other Hiring Managers/HR Managers looking for candidates with similar qualifications to review your background. Some jobs do permit submissions via fax or mail. That information will be included in the job posting.

Will you confirm receipt of my submission?

When you submit your information online, you will get immediate confirmation that we have received it.

What happens next?

If our HR Managers determine that your résumé is a good match for a particular position, they will contact you, usually within two to three weeks. If we don't think that your background is the best match, your résumé will be kept in our database as an active candidate for six months. We are, unfortunately, unable to respond to all inquiries personally due to the large number of résumés we receive.

Will you notify me of new job postings at UBC?

Yes! After you do a job search, you will see a link at the bottom of the results page entitled "Add Search as a Job Agent." Click on this button to create what's called a Job Agent, which allows you to enter in specific criteria you choose, permitting our automatic system to notify you when new jobs meeting these criteria are posted. You can even set up multiple Job Agents and modify them at any time by clicking on the "Career Center" link at the top of our job openings page.

Is there a way to update my résumé?

Yes. Just use your password to modify your information. If you forget your password, simply click on the "Forgot Your Password" link to have an email sent to you with your password information.

Whom should I contact if I have trouble submitting my CV online?

If you have any difficulty with the system, please send an email to careerstechsupport@unitedbiosource.com so we can resolve the issue.
