How to apply on Workday
Workday is the application portal of a large share of big employers. It is thorough, slow and repetitive: the same questions, company after company, behind a new account each time.
Step by step
- Open the job on the company's Workday site and click Apply. Choose to autofill with your resume if offered.
- Create an account for that employer (email and password), then confirm the verification email. An account at one company does not work at another.
- Check My Information and My Experience line by line: Workday's resume parsing often splits jobs, drops dates or merges schools.
- Answer the application questions: work authorization, sponsorship, notice period, how you heard about the role.
- Fill the voluntary disclosures and self-identification pages, then review everything and submit.
Tips that save time
- Use a simple one-column resume (PDF or DOCX): it parses far better than a designed template.
- Save each employer's Workday login in a password manager. You will need it to track your application in Candidate Home.
- Keep a text file with your standard answers (authorization, salary expectations, start date) to paste in.
- Applications usually save as you go: if a page fails, sign back in and continue rather than starting again.
