Employment Application FAQ

• How do I apply?

  External candidates may click on the link called "External Applicants". This will bring you to a screen whereby candidates can search for jobs by a State/City selector. Candidates may also search for jobs by Job Category.

  Internal candidates may click on the link called “Internal Applicants”.  It will then ask you to enter your user name and password.  All ResCare employees have the same structure for their initial user name and password. 
  

  User Name:   first 6 letters of last name + first letter of first name + last 4 digits of the SSN.
  
  Password:     Employee ID# (obtain from HR)   + last 4 digits of the SSN.
  
  The system will then say that the password has expired and you will be asked to change your password.  Passwords must contain one non-alphanumeric character (i.e. $, #, !).

• Once I start the application do I need to complete it now or can I finish it at a later date?

  Candidates may save their applications while they are in progress and restart where they left off at anytime within 90 days.  To return to your incomplete application:
