How to apply on Taleo
Taleo is the oldest of the big portals and still runs at many large companies. It is the slowest to apply on.
Step by step
- Click Apply, then create an account for that employer (user name, password, security questions).
- Upload your resume, then check or re-type your work history and education: parsing is unreliable.
- Answer the pre-screening questionnaire and the eligibility questions.
- Complete the voluntary disclosures, sign electronically and submit.
Tips that save time
- Budget 20 to 40 minutes per application, and save often: sessions time out.
- Copy your experience from a plain-text version of your resume to avoid formatting problems.
