I am receiving an error message when I try to save my profile. 

• Are you attaching a resume, cover letter or other documentation to the profile?  If so, can you try creating your profile without adding any of those documents to see if it will let you save the profile information?  If the profile will save without the attachments, we can troubleshoot why it won’t let you upload the documents.

• Are you copying any information and pasting it into the profile?  Sometimes a document will have special characters that causes the application system to error out.  Try manually entering the information and then saving the profile.  

I am receiving an error message when I try to upload a document to my candidate profile. Why is this happening?
The Legacy careers portal accepts the following document formats for upload: .pdf, .htm, .html, .jpg, .tif, .tiff.  If you are attempting to upload a document in other formats, including Microsoft Word, you may receive an error message. 

If I had a profile on the old recruiting system, did it copy over to the new system?
We need all candidates to create a new profile on the new system – we did not copy over information from the old system. Once you create a profile, you can login in as a returning candidate.

Do I need to complete a whole application every time I apply for a new position?
Once you create your user profile on the careers portal), any application you submit after that will automatically include the work history and education information from your profile. A new application is required for each position you apply too.

Legacy Health does not require resumes or cover letters as part of the application process. Please note that if you upload a resume or cover letter, our recruiters and hiring managers will see only the most recent version.

After I have applied for a position online, should I also e-mail, fax or mail a copy of my application, resume or cover letter to Legacy?

May I send you my CV or resume to keep on file?
No. Legacy does not accept CVs, resumes or applications for positions that are not posted on our site. When you apply for a position you will have the option to upload your resume to your profile. 

I want to apply for a job I saw yesterday, but now it's not there.
