Employment Office > Application Procedures

Starting October 1, 2005, the HRS Employment office of Middle Tennessee State University will implement a new online employment application system for recruitment of all positions.  This new system will allow you to search jobs, complete an application, apply online and check the status of your application on the internet.  Applicants have the ability to attach cover letters, resumes, and related documents to the electronic application at the point you apply to a position.  All applicants will be required to complete an application in the new online employment system.

Review job listings on the bulletin boards in the Employment Office, call the Job Line at (615) 898-5353, or use the Internet to access the MTSU Jobs Web Page and select Search Postings.  New users may search job postings, apply for a job online, complete an application and access the system 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  You must provide all required information and receive a confirmation number to verify you have completed all steps to apply for the job.  You will not be able to apply for positions once the filing deadline has passed and the position is closed.
