Part 1
Our system lets you decide how you want candidates to "apply" for your opportunity. There are three student application methods: email, accumulate online, and other (recommended).
- Email – each student will submit a resume and other requested application materials through the database and the system will auto generate an email to you with EACH applicant’s materials.
- Accumulate online – ALL students’ application materials will be collected online
- If this option is selected and you want to view applicants, navigate to “Opportunity Postings” and click the tab “Student Applications” to see a list of students who have applied.
- Other (recommended) – You will provide custom instructions for a student to apply. Other is the only application method that does NOT require a resume submission. This allows you to input a unique URL to your application process.
Part 2
The system will ask you if you want an "Automatic Application Packet Generation" (yes or no). An application packet is a document that combines all of your applicants application materials into one document. This can be helpful if you have required applicants to apply online with a resume and cover letter. You won't have to download each document individually.
Part 3
Our system allows you to required the collection of other application materials which can include:
- Cover Letter
- Unofficial Transcript
- Writing Sample
- Other Documents (you provide custom instructions)
After you click submit, you will receive an automated email from Volunteer Central titled “IU Corps Service Opportunity Submitted, Approval Pending ” confirming your opportunity submission.
