1. How do I Apply Online for a job?
Applying online is simple and will only take a couple
of minutes to complete when using ArtsOpportunities. To use the "Apply Online"
feature you must have an electronic version of your resume as a Microsoft
Word.doc. (preferred) or Text.txt format, and you will need a valid e-mail
address. Depending on the employer, you will need a cover letter--this needs
to be included in your resume document. When you find a job for which you
wish to apply online for, just click the "Apply Online" button, at the top
or bottom of the job details page, and then follow the steps below.
| Step 1: |
Confirm the job for which you're applying.
Enter your contact information, make sure you enter your current e-mail
address. After you apply for an opportunity we will send you an e-mail confirming
your successful submission. |
| Step 2: |
From your hard drive, select the resume file you wish
to send by using the "Browse" button. |
| Step 3: |
Please review the Terms of Service, by selecting the
"Send" button you are agreeing to ArtsOpportunities Terms of Service.
When you're ready to apply, click the "Send" button at the bottom of the
page. You will be given one more opportunity to confirm the application.

3. Some job
postings don't have the "Apply Online" button. Why?
The organizations that post jobs on ArtsOpportunities
have the option to use or not use our Apply Online feature. If an organization
chooses not to use the Apply Online feature, they will provide an alternative
application method for you to use, such as a fax number or mail address.

4. What is a
filename extension?
A filename extension at the end of a filename indicates
what type of file it is. On PCs, filename extensions are added automatically,
although they will only be visible if you have that setting selected in the
"folder options" on your PC. If you work on a Mac and are using a word processing
program, you will need to manually enter a filename extension when you name
and save your file.

5. Why must
my resume file be a Microsoft Word.doc or a Text.txt file?
To be compatible with most universal software text editing
programs that employers use, you should create your resume in Microsoft Word
(preferred) and save your file as a word.doc. You can also create your resume
as a text.txt file. Note that most text.txt files lose all formatting.
