The following are suggested steps to assist you with applying for temporary positions at UC Berkeley. If you need further assistance, please contact the Help Desk at (510) 643-4443.
Getting
started
When you're ready to search for a job, click on Go to Jobs
in the eRecruit website at http://jobs.berkeley.edu.
That will take you to our online recruitment system, where you can
check out the job listings, select jobs that interest you, and apply
for them by creating an online resume.
If you are currently on a temporary assignment, you must apply for jobs by clicking the "Current UCB employee" button on the left side of the screen. If your assignment has ended and/or you are not currently employed at UC Berkeley, click on the "External Applicants" button.
Searching
the Job Listings
We make it easy for you to look for a job that fits your needs.
You can search by any combination of the following categories:
- Occupational category or categories that interest you
- Full- or Part-Time
- Permanent or Temporary
- By Keyword
Most temporary jobs will be posted as "Limited Appointments" or "Contract" jobs and will be listed as temporary in most cases.
What
happens next
We will automatically send you an email when your application is
received. You will also get an email when we make a decision to
interview you, or if at any time you are not selected. You will
be able to log in to your account to find out about your application
and to track your progress. The
exact interview process depends upon the department you apply to
and the type of job you're applying for.
Because every department has its own timeline and process, it may take a few days or weeks to find out whether you have been selected for interview. In the meantime, if you are not selected for an interview we will send you an email informing you of that decision. In addition, you can check your progress by logging into your account.
