1. APPLICATION DOCUMENTS REQUIRED

Applicants should submit application documents that:

 Quote the vacancy reference number (IRC) in the file name

 Include a Resume – mandatory
 Provide a Selection Criteria response (please refer to the advertisement to learn if selection
criteria need to be addressed in your application and if so, how you should respond – either in a
separate document or as part of your resume)
 Include a Cover letter – not mandatory, but preferred

2. WHERE DO I ATTACH MY APPLICATION DOCUMENTS?

NOT EMPLOYED BY UTS? REGISTERING FOR THE FIRST TIME?

Having viewed the details of the vacancy in UTS’s iRecruit system, if you click ‘Apply Now’ you will be
given the opportunity to register an account as the first part of the application process.

A) UPLOADING YOUR RESUME OR SIGNING INTO A SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT?

If you are registering for the first time as part of your application and choose to upload your resume or
sign into a social media account, then you must use the Other Documents section, located at the bottom
of the Register and Apply: Review Account Information screen, to add additional documents (e.g.
Selection Criteria response, Cover Letter).

As per the following diagram, you will note that a document will already be listed in the Other Documents
section - this is the resume that you have uploaded or one that has been automatically created during the
sign in process if you have used a social media account – the system will have allocated this document a
unique reference.

B) APPLYING MANUALLY (WITHOUT A RESUME )?

If you are registering for the first time as part of your application and have chosen to apply manually (i.e.
you do not possess a resume or do not wish to use the Upload Resume option), then you must use the
Documents section, which is located at the bottom of the Register and Apply: Personal Information
screen in order to add your resume and all other documents.

ALREADY REGISTERED?
If you have previously registered an account within our iRecruit system, and are therefore logging into
your existing account to submit an application, then you should attach your application documents in the
Documents section (shown below, which is located approximately halfway down the Application: Review
Account IRCxxxxx screen.

If you do not wish to submit any documents that already exist in your account as part of your current
application (these may exist as a result of either previous applications or registration) then you should
delete these prior to submitting – however, prior to deleting please ensure that you save a copy of these
documents to an alternative location (eg USB, local drive) for any future reference.

Please ensure that any new documents added contain the relevant reference number (IRC) in the file
name – e.g. Joe Bloggs Resume IRC12345.docx.

3. SELECTION CRITERIA
Refer to the application procedure outlined in the advertisement to double check what is required for
the position.

Where requested to address Selection Criteria, it will be stipulated whether your response is required in a
separate document or to be addressed within the content of your resume (and /or Cover Letter). Please
