Ready to propel your career forward within USC? Whether you’re considering transfer or promotion opportunities, USC is committed to fostering your growth and enhancing our university through your skills and dedication.
If you are considering applying for a transfer or promotion, you should optimize your Workday profile to showcase your qualifications and aspirations effectively.
To do this, we recommend following these steps:
1. Build your Workday career profile
The Workday career profile lets you corral all your career experience, education, skills, achievements, and more so you can easily access that information for future job applications. The profile also tells your “career story” to USC recruiters and hiring managers looking to fill specific roles – so you may be contacted for a possible opportunity without even filling out an application.
When you’re ready to fill it out, log into Workday, click on your name in the top right corner, click View Profile, and then click the Career tab. You can upload a resume and manually enter information.
When you’re ready to apply for a USC job, your career profile will help expedite the process, as some fields will automatically populate into any USC staff job application (see below “Applying for a USC transfer or promotion”). You must have at least the “job history,” “education,” and “skills” sections of your career profile completed to apply for a USC job.
For additional help with your career profile and applying for USC jobs, review the “Your USC Career” instructions on the Workday Help site or contact the HR Service Center.
2. Search for new job opportunities at USC
Your Workday career profile has been completed and checked, and you’re ready to search for a new USC opportunity.
You may search for jobs by viewing open opportunities in Workday:
- From your Workday home page on your computer or mobile device, click on Menu and then Jobs Hub
- Search for specific jobs by keywords, job family, job type, management level, and more
You can search for jobs on the USC Careers site, but you should only apply on Workday if you are a current USC employee.
3. Applying for an internal position
Ready to apply? Remember, if you are a USC employee, you are required to apply through your Workday profile. Click Menu and navigate to the Jobs Hub. Search for the job that interests you and click Apply.
If you have completed your Workday career profile, your information will automatically populate your application with your job history, education, and skills.
Cover letters are unnecessary, but if you wish to attach one (or the recruiter requires it), upload it to the application’s Resume/Cover Letter section. Additional documents may also be uploaded in this section.
The recruiter for this position will contact you if you are a good fit for the role.
