Are there any benefits with UTS?

Although UTS employees do not qualify for the benefits of paid vacation, paid sick leave, holiday pay, tuition remission, health insurance or life insurance through the university, there are certain benefits to which you are entitled.

Can I submit my resume to Human Resources?

All applications must be submitted online; therefore we cannot accept your paper resume.  However, you will be given the opportunity to attach your resume, as well as any cover or reference letters, to your online application.

Do I have to fill out a separate application for regular and temporary positions?

Yes.  Applications for temporary and regular employment are two completely different applications.

I have filled out my application online.  When will I be contacted?

There is no set timeline, since University Temporary Services runs on an “as needed” basis.  You will then be contacted to come in for an interview.

How does the interview/hire process work?

Identified applicants are interviewed and will be asked to complete a software test (Microsoft Office 2000 including Word, Access, Excel and PowerPoint) and a typing test during the interview.  As positions become available, potential applicants are matched to the position based on skills, experience and availability.
