When a position is no longer posted on our Careers Portal, it means that it has been filled and that the application process has been closed.

6. Can I update or change my application after I submit it?

You can make changes and add attachments to your profile, but you cannot add or make changes to the application for a particular position once it has been moved to an interview stage.

• Manage your contact information, including:
• Address

10. What is a “source,” and why am I required to select one when filling out my application?

The “source” lets us know where you saw the position advertised or where you heard about the position.

11. I forgot my username and password. How do I retrieve this information?

Your username is the email address you selected when you first registered. If you forgot your password, click on the link below the Login button, and a temporary password will be emailed to you.

The Careers Portal does not support applications using a mobile device. However, you have the option of creating your profile, which you can later use to apply for a position from a desktop or laptop computer.

13. I’m getting an error message that says, “Field HR Org Required.” How can I fix this?

Clear your browser cache, and then close and reopen the browser. Navigate back to www.WellSpanCareers.org and click on the Job Listing link to go to the WellSpan Careers Portal. Once there, search for the desired position and continue the application process. It is best to visit the WellSpan Careers website directly rather than use a link that’s posted on a different website.
