Cool Careers - FAQs
If a position is no longer listed on our Cool Careers site, then we are not currently accepting applications for it or the position has been filled.
After you’ve applied, we will send you an e-mail acknowledgment to confirm that your information has been received.
Our recruiters do their best to review the candidate pool for open positions in a timely manner. Due to the high volume of applicants for certain positions, it may take several weeks for the recruiter and/or hiring manager to complete this process. We appreciate your patience during the review process!
If you are selected for an interview, a recruiter will contact you directly to outline the next steps in the process.
If you are not selected to move forward in the process, you will be notified. We may still contact you about other opportunities in the future that align with your profile or interests. You can also update the information in your Cool Careers profile at any time!
We have an in-depth, multi-level hiring process that begins with an application via our Cool Careers page. The recruitment team reviews all resumes and forwards those that meet the minimum stated job requirements to the appropriate hiring manager for further review. Once a determination has been made, candidates will be notified whether or not they have been selected for interview (typically within a few weeks of application).
