Applying once means you can be considered for many job opportunities. If your application is not selected for one job, your application remains in the inventory and could be selected again for other job opportunities that come up while the inventory remains open. As an applicant, you can also go back and update your resume at any time and change your application.

The inventory will be updated every 120 days. You will receive a notice in your applicant account 10 days before the end of your active period to determine whether or not you wish to keep being considered for an additional 120 days.
