Employment
What employment opportunities are currently available at Goodwill?
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.
How do I submit a resume?
Each job posting you view will have a button at the bottom that will allow you to apply using our online response form. Once you are brought to the response form, be sure to choose a source, letting us know how you heard about us and 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 a position we are trying to fill.
What if I do not have a resume? Can I fill out an employment application?
You can fill out an online application form by using the link to our online application on the search page. Your application will be entered into our searchable database just as a resume would. We will contact you if your skills and qualifications match a position we are trying to fill.
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 this position. 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 can't I submit my resume via U.S. Mail or FAX?
We receive thousands of resumes, and paper submittals take much longer to process. Resumes received via our online response form reach the database almost instantaneously. You could miss the window of opportunity for a position because of the processing delay.
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. They are 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 or in the cover letter box provided.
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 resume and apply for one specific position, several positions at once, or submit your resume for general consideration (meaning you would not select a specific position to apply for from the online response form). Once you submit your resume once (whether for a specific position or not) you will be in our searchable database and may be considered for other positions other than the one you applied for. Please only submit your resume once within a 12-month period of time unless you have updated your personal information. If you need to update your personal information more than once, please consider using our Profile option so you can most easily change or modify your information in our system. This will also eliminate the need for multiple submissions of your resume, which could, potentially, slow down the process of identifying you as a candidate for a particular position.
How do I know if you received my resume via the online response form?
Once you have submitted your resume, a pop-up 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 with the error/reason for the problem. You will be asked to re-submit your resume at that time. You will also receive an email confirming our receipt of 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, you can be sure 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. Please only submit your resume once within a 12-month period of time unless you have updated your personal information. If you need to update your personal information more than once, please consider using our Profile option so you can most easily change or modify your information in our system. This will also eliminate the need for multiple submissions of your resume, which could, potentially, slow down the process of identifying you as a candidate for a particular position.
I tried to submit my resume using the online response form but the Web page indicated there was 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:
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. Due to the high volume of submittals we will only contact those candidates whose skills and qualifications most closely suit our needs. 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. Closing dates are also listed for some positions, and additional applications for those positions will normally not be reviewed following the closing date.
