How to Apply Online Guidelines


What employment opportunities are currently available at Washington Gas?

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

What is a source and why am I required to select one?

The source lets us know where you saw the position advertised or where you heard about us. There are two source drop down menus that you are required to choose from when you submit a resume via our online response form. Please use the first drop down to chose from a list of high-level categories like Advertisements, Job Boards, Job Fairs, etc. Next, use the second drop-down menu to indicate the specific source, i.e. the name of the advertisement, job board or job fair.

Why am I prompted to fill out additional information when I apply for some employment opportunities but not for others?

If we have additional requirements for a specific position or need additional information from you, we will include these screening questions at the end of the submit resume page. These questions help us to determine if you are a good match for the position you are applying for. Even if we determine that you are not a good match for the particular position you are applying for, you will still enter our searchable database of resumes and may be considered for another position we are recruiting for.

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?

All resumes are received in a central database and sorted by job applied for and skill set. 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.

The web page indicates an error. What should I do?

If you are not running on a platform or browser supported by our online response form, you will need to upgrade your system and then revisit our site to apply online. Our online response form supports the following platforms and browsers:

If you are not running on one of these supported platforms or browsers, you will need to upgrade then revisit our site to apply online.

Will I be notified one way or the other if the job is filled or if I make it to the next step in the application process?

If you received the confirmation message, you can be sure we received your resume. If your skills and qualifications match what we are looking for, a representative from HR will contact you. It is important to note that you should NOT submit your resume multiple times as this will NOT increase your chances of being contacted. In fact, submitting your resume multiple times may result in resume processing delays. The only time you may choose to send us another copy of your resume is if the resume includes updated information.

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.
