Planning to apply for opportunities through the Summer Recruitment Program (OCI)? Do not delay! The 7/11 application deadline is fast approaching:
All applications for positions through the Summer Recruitment Program must be submitted through Symplicity by Tuesday, July 11, 11:59pm CST.
REMINDER: You must have your Resume and Cover Letter approved in Symplicity before you can submit to employers!
In order to submit an application through the Symplicity System, you must have had a version of your resume and cover letter approved by one of the CPD Team Members. Once your resume and cover letter have been approved, you can update them as needed and upload and submit future versions without further approval.
Do not wait until the last minute to upload your resume and cover letter for approval! Approval is a manual process. If you haven’t yet, please upload your resume and a cover letter to Symplicity ASAP so we can review and approve it.
If you have already had your documents approved in Symplicity but would like additional feedback on your current versions, please send them directly to your JD Career Counselor via email ASAP. Please keep in mind the next few days are very busy for our JD Career Counselors; we will do our best to get you feedback ASAP.
