The following provides information on the application process for faculty, staff,
and student positions.
Applications
All positions require completion of an electronic application through our online employment system. Please provide COMPLETE and ACCURATE contact information and educational and work
history in the appropriate spaces. Incomplete applications may not receive full consideration.
You must click ‘Certify changes and save application’ on the final page of the application
to save the information you have entered. Your application is not complete until you
receive a confirmation number. If you either close your browser or lose Internet connection
prior to completing your application, log in again and select “Edit application.”
Pages that have been saved prior to closing your browser or losing internet connection
will be in the online system and you will be able to continue entering information.
Your application will remain on file in the online system indefinitely and can be
updated at any time. If you wish to apply for vacancies, simply log into the employment
system, update your application information if necessary, and apply to postings.
Attaching Additional Documents
Not all postings will allow an applicant to attach additional documents such as a
resume and cover letter. At all times, ensure your application provides complete and
accurate information. If the posting requires the attachment of additional documents, please note that your application will be
considered ‘incomplete’ and will not be eligible for review by hiring departments
until the documents have been attached.
Student Employment
In order to be considered for student employment, you must be currently enrolled or
accepted at Fairmont State University and meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress
Guidelines established for federal financial aid (summer student employees must be
enrolled in summer classes or in the upcoming fall semester).

Employment Office at studentjobs@fairmontstate.edu.

Interview Process
The hiring department determines the most qualified applicants and will select interviewees.
If you are selected for an interview, you will be contacted directly by the department
to schedule an interview. The Human Resources Office does not require a set timetable
for the completion of the interview/selection process and is not able to provide timeframes
to applicants for moving through the process. Applicants are able to check the status of their application through the online system which will either indicate “In Progress,”
or “Position Filled.”
System Information/Requirements
The Employment Application System is designed to run in a web browser over the Internet.
The site is best viewed with Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.

Security of Applicant Data
The security of applicant data is a top priority for Fairmont State University. We
employ several measures to ensure the integrity and security of our applicant information,
including:

Any time you leave your computer, you are strongly recommended to save any work in
progress and logout of the system by clicking on the logout link located on the bottom
left side of your screen.
- The site is protected with a Secure Socket layer, which offers 128-bit encryption
of all data.
- Applicant passwords are never displayed to Fairmont State employees.
- Certain applicant information is not available to hiring departments and will only
be visible to Affirmative Action and Human Resources, such as gender, ethnicity, disability,
and veteran status information.
- Data is stored at a restricted-access facility.
