How to Apply Guidelines

What employment opportunities are currently available at Orbital?

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

How do I submit a resume?

Each job posting you view will have a button at the bottom that will allow you to express interest in the job using our online response form. Once you are brought to the response form, be sure to choose a source, which will let us know how you heard about us, and to fill in the other required information. Once you hit the "submit" button, your resume will become part of our searchable database. Submitting your resume more than once will NOT increase your chances of being contacted. We will contact you if your skills and qualifications match the position(s) in which you have expressed interest.

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

The source lets us know how you learned about employment opportunities at Orbital. 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 choose from a list of general categories, such as Advertisements, Job Boards, Job Fairs, etc. Next, use the second drop-down menu to indicate the specific source, e.g. the name of the specific advertisement, job board or job fair.

Why am I prompted to fill out additional information 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 resume submission page. These questions help us to determine if your skills and experience match the needs for that position. If we determine that your skills and experience do not match the needs of the position in which you are expressing interest, your information will be retained in our candidate database, since Orbital is continually searching for talented and skilled people.

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

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

Once you have submitted your resume, a popup window will appear thanking you for your submission. The appearance of this message is your confirmation that we have received your resume. If a problem occurs during the transmission of your resume, a pop-up window will appear noting the problem, and you will be asked to re-submit your resume.

I submitted my resume through the online response form but I'd like to mail it to you just to make sure you received it.

If you received the confirmation message, we received your resume. It is important to note that you should NOT submit your resume multiple times, as this will NOT increase your chances of being contacted. The only time you should send us another copy of your resume is if the resume includes updated information.
