(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) — Job seekers looking for employment at UC Davis Health System won't have to fill out forms by hand, figure out postage amounts, hand deliver or fax paperwork for their applications much longer. Beginning in February, applicants will be able to complete their entire employment application process online and have access to other Web-based features that will make applying for jobs much easier and more efficient.

The new, all-electronic system is designed to be very user-friendly. It allows prospective employees to simultaneously apply for multiple positions and it won't require them to make copies of applications for every job they seek.

UC Davis Health System's online process also will allow applicants to receive confirmation that their application has been received and to check the status of the job for which they applied 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from any computer with access to the Internet.

Other benefits for those seeking jobs include:

• Better search capabilities, allowing applicants to easily find employment opportunities that closely match their background and skills;



• Access to complete job announcements;



• The capability of attaching supporting documents to applications such as cover letters and resumes;



• The capacity to store applications, resumes, cover letters and other supporting documents online for use when applying for other UC Davis Health System positions.

Job applicants don't have to own a computer or have Internet access in order to apply online. The health system has computers available for applicants on the second floor of its Human Resources building, known as Ticon III, 2730 Stockton Blvd. in Sacramento. Public libraries, schools and local Employment Development Department offices are among the many other locations that also offer computer and Web access.

Because the health system is phasing out its paper applications process entirely, job applicants can always contact the Department of Human Resources during regular office hours for additional assistance at (916) 734-5916. Individuals applying for nursing positions can call (916) 734-2742.
