How to Apply Online Guidelines

What employment opportunities are currently available at Cambridge Health Alliance?

To view a listing of employment opportunities, you will need to search our Current Job Listings. You can choose to narrow your search using the search fields provided or click on the View All button to review a listing of all jobs.

How do I apply on-line?

You must select a position from the Current Job Listings. At the end of each job listing there are 2 options: Apply with a resume and Apply without a resume. When you apply to a position through our website, your profile is automatically routed to the desktop of the appropriate recruiter and/or hiring manager.

How do I apply with a resume?

At the end of the job listing, click on the Apply With a Resume button. This response form will prompt you to copy and paste your resume.

How do I apply without a resume?

At the end of the job listing, click on the Apply Without a Resume button. This response form will prompt you to type in your employment history.

Why can't I submit my resume via U.S. Mail or FAX?

Applying for a position on-line is the most efficient way to apply for a position at Cambridge Health Alliance. Resumes received via our online response form reach the database and recruiter immediately and speed up the job search process. Faxed or mailed resumes are not the preferred method for submission because they cannot be scanned into our applicant tracking system.

I'd like to be able to include a cover letter with my resume, addressed to the appropriate individual. How can I find out the name of the appropriate individual?

It is not necessary to address a cover letter to a specific individual. If you would like to include a cover letter, you can paste it in the resume text field after the text of your resume.

What if a position I am interested in is not listed on the careers page? Can I submit a resume anyway?

Yes. You can use the link on the search page to submit a general online response form. Once you submit your general online response form you will be in our searchable database and may be considered. If your qualifications are a match for a future job listing you may be considered. We recommend that you periodically check out website and apply online for specific jobs in which you are qualified for.

What if I meet some of the job requirements, but not all?

Hiring managers sometimes have some flexibility to hire otherwise qualified staff that are missing certain qualifications. So if you have the core requirements such as education, licensing, and language skills you may, by all means, apply.

If I'm not qualified for the position I've selected, will I be automatically considered for other positions?

While technology lets us keep your resume available for future opportunities, if you are interested in a specific position, we encourage you to update your resume and apply for the specific position. This will inform HR that you are interested in that opportunity.

How do I know if you received my resume via the online response form?

Once you have submitted your online response, a pop-up window will appear thanking you for your submission. You will also receive a confirmation email that your online response was received.

When can I expect to hear from you regarding my resume?

We try to review all resumes as quickly as possible. However, as the hiring process differs slightly for each position, we cannot promise an exact time. However, in most cases, interviews are scheduled as soon as qualified candidates are identified. Sometimes that is right away, but for positions where hard-to-find skills are required, it can take a little longer. We are very fortunate to get applications from many exceptionally talented people. While we would like to speak with everyone personally, it is not always possible. A recruiter will call you as soon as they've matched your resume to an open position or when the hiring manager has reviewed your resume for an interview.

How long are job postings generally on the Web site? Are they posted for a specific amount of time, or until the job is filled?

A position remains on our website until it is filled.

I submitted an application a while ago but haven't heard anything. What should I do?

From the time a position is posted until the last interview is scheduled and a decision is made can take several weeks. We appreciate your patience and understanding as the process of searching for a job can be challenging. We try to give the appropriate time for each resume submitted for a position. It is our goal to review each resume submitted for a position. Please contact our HR office and a recruiter will be more than happy to inform you of the status of your application. The HR phone number is 781-306-8700.

How do I apply for a temporary position?

All temporary assignments can be found among our online job postings. We go through the same process to fill temporary positions.
