Viewing Job Descriptions After Applying

Job descriptions are not only useful when applying to a position, but they are great to reference during the application process. I always recommend looking at it/having it in front of you for each job interview. However, once a posting closes you might worry that you don't have access to it anymore. A question that always comes up every year is how to view the job descriptions after the positions have closed. When you apply it is easiest if you get into the habit of saving the descriptions so you can refer to them later, but if you forgot to save them or lost them, don't worry! There is a way to access them later!

When you first apply to a position when you go to your dashboard if you click on the position name it will take you to the job description. However, when the position closes, when you click on the link it will take you to a page that says the position has been closed or open another page with the dashboard. When this happens there is another way you have to go to get to the description. 

On the top of your dashboard you will see where is says "Resumes/CV" and a link that says "edit." Click on that link and it will take you to a page where your resumes and cover letters that you have submitted are stored. When you click on "View Submissions" a page will load that includes all of the jobs that you applied to using that resume. If you click on the job title on this page it will open the job description. Voila! There's that job description for you!
