To be considered an applicant for Staff (nonacademic) and Librarian positions, you are required to apply online. Prospective applicants can look and apply for a job by going to the Cornell Careers page and following the appropriate links. Detailed instructions for applying online are available to help guide you through the online application. Detailed instructions are also available for internal and external applicants interested in applying for temporary employment.
- Select if you are an external applicant or an internal applicant
- Temporary and casual employees are classified as external applicants
- Choose from one of the employment opportunity sections (Staff - nonacademic and Librarian)
- Select from the list of titles featured
- Select "Apply" and follow the application instructions.
The internal applicant experience will vary slightly from the external applicant experience, as internal candidates will be prompted to create (or update) their Workday Professional Profile, where they will fill in the fields related to their education, job history, skills and certifications. After doing this, applicants will be able to complete the rest of the Workday Recruitment application process, and can attach a formatted resume and cover letter if desired. Although the professional profile will be stored within the Workday system for future use, applicants will still be directed to view and/or update their professional profiles prior to submitting each specific job application.
