PART 3:  UPLOAD YOUR RESUME BY MARCH 20

In preparation for this event, job seekers must upload their resumes to the SPE-GCS website.  Before you attempt to do so, we strongly urge you to read all of the detailed instructions that you can see by clicking here.  For example, you will see that the field labeled “Title” is actually expecting you to enter your last name and first name, separated by a comma.  Also note that Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V work better than Copy and Paste on most browsers.  Once you have read the instructions, proceed to upload your resume by clicking here.  Note that uploaded resumes will only remain in the system for 90 days, at most.  If it has been longer than 90 days since your last resume upload, you must do it again.

The deadline for your resume upload is March 20, 2018.  If you have not uploaded your resume by then, your registration will be cancelled.  This is because the employers must have adequate lead time before the March 27th event to review the resumes to help them focus on job seekers who are well matched to their job openings.
