How to Apply for an Internal Position as an Existing Employee in UNIFOR 2458 PT, FT & Engineers and UNIFOR 444 Unions

Tags type-howto

Before applying for a position as an internal candidate, ensure your Talent Profile within UWinsite People is up to date. This profile will automatically be used as your application. You can also update your Talent Profile during the application process. No other transfer form is needed. 

Your Talent Profile serves as your application, capturing your employment history, education, skills and qualifications, licenses, and certifications. You have the option to upload a resume and cover letter, and again it is optional for UNIFOR 2458 members, and not providing these documents will not impact your chances of getting the job. 

Applying

To apply for a position posted internally or externally, in your browser, go to uwindsor.ca/uwinsite/people. After you complete your single sign-on in UWinsite People using your full UWinID@uwindsor.ca as your username and your UWin Account password. Then: 

  1. From Me, select Current Opportunities to view a list of available job postings. 

  2. Browse the list of active postings and select the position that interests you. Click on the job title to view the details and description of the position. 

  3. Once the position details page opens, you can view the full job description. If interested, select Apply. If not interested, click the arrow, beside the job title to return to the current opportunities list.

  4. If you are interested in applying, a text box prompt will prompt you to Review Skills and Qualifications. You can update your profile if needed. If your Talent Profile is already up to date, you can skip this step. If you decide not to apply, select Cancel. 

  5. Complete the Job Application Questions by providing a detailed summary explaining how you meet the essential qualifications for the position. This is a mandatory field with no word limit. Once completed, click Continue. 

  6. In the Supporting Documents section, you have the option to upload any additional materials, such as a summary of past work experience, cover letter, or licenses. If no documents will be added, select Continue to proceed. 

  7. Enter your E-Signature to confirm your application. 

  1. Select Submit to finalize your application.
