I'm having trouble applying online. What can I do?

Please make sure the pop-up blocker on your computer is turned off, or allow Evergreen as a trusted site. Access our site directly; not through an ad site. The Internet Explorer browser works best with our site.

What if I need to finish my application later? How do I save and retrieve it?

• Before leaving your application, click the "Save" button floating to the right of the application form.
• When you return to finish your application, login first, then go back and find the exact position you began applying for.
• Click on it's title, scroll down and click to apply. A message states that you already have a partially-completed application for this position, and gives you an opportunity to finish it.

Who should I list as references? What if I don't want my current supervisor contacted?

We prefer supervisory references. You may also want to list any assistant managers or leads you reported to or worked closely with.

If you do not want us to contact your current supervisor, please check "No" where prompted in the first Employment History (for current job), and do not list this supervisor in the References section.

Note: Only the first employment history asks if we may contact your employer for a reference. If you have a second, current job, and do not want them contacted, please note this in the "Reason for Leaving" section.

To whom should I address my cover letter?

Please keep it general, as more than one person may review.

How do I add my résumé and cover letter?

Copy the text from your cover letter document and paste into the cover letter field of the application form. Repeat for your résumé. You may also type directly into the cover letter and résumé fields.

Can I make changes to my application after it's been accepted?

No. Once successfully submitted, you will not be able to make changes or additions, nor add your résumé and cover letter. Please do this before you hit "Submit".

How do I know my application was received? How can I check the status of my applications?

You will receive an automated acknowledgement upon completing the online process. To check existing application status, log in on the Current Job Openings page and select "Application History".

Can I apply for more than one position? How long will you keep my résumé on file?

You may have up to three active applications, and must apply for each individual position you are interested in.

Once you have created a user profile and applied successfully, future applications are quick and easy. Simply log in on the Jobs at Evergreen page, find the position you're interested in, click to apply, and the system will ask if you want to have your information copied over.

What happens to my application after I apply? How long does it normally take to be contacted?

A recruiter reviews and forwards qualified applications to the manager. Each manager has a different timeline for filling positions in their department. If you are selected for an interview, you will be contacted directly.

When do job postings close? How will I be notified when a position has closed?

The amount of time a position is open depends upon a number of factors. Some positions have no pre-set closing date. When a position has been filled, the remaining applicants will receive notification via email.

Why did I receive an e-mail message that my application was incomplete?

When applying, please enter all requested information, as thoroughly as possible, and include your cover letter and résumé. Fill in all employment histories, in detail (the system allows up to four employment histories).

I meet the job requirements; why wasn't I contacted for an interview?

Even highly specialized positions sometimes receive many applications, and some positions are filled from within. Due to high volume, we are not always able to interview every qualified candidate. We do appreciate the time and effort you took to apply, and hope you will consider us for future opportunities.
