Uploading Your Documents

When applying through the portal, you will see three options:

• Upload Resume (Preferred method)
• Create Your Resume
• Apply with LinkedIn

We strongly recommend selecting “Upload Resume”, as this allows you to upload your full application package, including any required documentation (e.g., cover letter, CV, portfolio, etc.).

Although some fields may auto-populate from your uploaded resume, only the documents you upload will be reviewed for assessment purposes.

File Format Guidelines

• It is recommended (but not required) that all application materials be combined into one single PDF document.
• Upload your combined PDF in the “Resume” section of the portal.
• If you are unable to combine documents, you may upload additional files under the “Additional Documents” section.
• Do not submit files that require special software, plug-ins, extensions, or executables to open.
• Test your files before submission to ensure they are readable and formatted correctly.

Can I Edit My Application After Submitting?

• No. Once your application has been submitted, you cannot make edits or upload additional documents through the system.
• If you need to make a correction, please contact Human Resources.

If you have questions about the application process, please contact Human Resources at HR@auarts.ca prior to the competition deadline.
