Workday runs the careers site for a lot of large employers. The form looks the same everywhere, but each employer sets it up its own way. Here is what to expect, page by page.
Every employer runs its own Workday site, usually at an address ending in myworkdayjobs.com. An account you made at one company does not sign you in at another, so most applications start with Create Account.
Many employers email an activation link before the new account can sign in. Open it from the newest email; an older link may already be spent. Signing in before activating usually fails with a wrong-password style error.
Workday offers Autofill with Resume (it reads your resume and fills what it can), Apply Manually, and on some sites Use My Last Application. If autofill stalls, start the posting again and choose Apply Manually.
Name, address, phone and how you heard about the role. Dropdowns like Country Phone Code are worded differently from one employer to the next, so pick the option that matches rather than expecting a fixed label.
Work history, education, skills and your resume. Some employers leave this page out entirely, and the wizard goes straight to the questions.
Work authorization, sponsorship, notice period, and questions the employer wrote. This can run across more than one page.
Equal-opportunity questions such as gender, ethnicity, veteran status and disability. They are voluntary, and the menus include a way to decline.
Workday shows everything on one page before you submit. Check the dates and the resume file, then submit.
Each employer's Workday is a separate site with its own sign-in. That is why a job search across several large companies leaves you with several Workday passwords, one per employer.
Using the same email address for every one of them keeps the activation emails and status updates in one place.
Required fields are marked with an asterisk, and Workday writes an error under any it still considers empty when you press Save and Continue.
Country and state fields are searchable lists: type the name and pick it from the list, rather than typing it in full and moving on.
