Frequently
Asked Questions?
What if I
do not have an email address?
A: An e-mail address is highly recommended so that we can communicate
with you about your application. If you do not have one there are many
sources for free e-mail accounts. Use a search engine like Yahoo, Google,
or others, to locate these services.

How can
I find a Job that best suits my interest?
A: Jobs can be filtered by location and job category. To view
all jobs, simply do not specify any search criteria, leave the
search as the default as all postings and all areas and select Start
Search.
However, if you already applied and are
a returning user you can also search by experience level or
work type (intern/co-op, temporary or full time). Or, you can
search by entering key words e.g. Technician, Forklift, or
Engineer.

How long
does the online application process take?
A: If you are applying for the first
time, or creating your candidate profile you can expect the online
process to take 15-45 minutes.
However, after your profile has been
created, applying for a position only takes a moment. The application
wizard quickly walks you through your profile in case you have
any changes. You must respond to two tabs, the required tabs are
the QUESTIONNAIRE and EEO tabs. On these tabs you will have mandatory
questions that need to be answered and they are marked with a red
* asterisk. Once you’ve
answered these questions then you will go to the Apply tab, select
how you hear about the job, accept that you read the disclosure
statement and then click the Apply to be considered for the position.

What
is the Plastipak Talent Pool and what benefits does it offer?
A: The
Plastipak Talent Pool is a forum enabling you to submit your own
personal profile to Plastipak and keep it updated. It is called
your “candidate profile” and it is created by submitting
a General Application. If we do advertise a position requiring
your qualifications, we will always have the option of reviewing
your profile in the system and contacting you.

What
is a candidate profile?
A: When you submit a General
Application, you are creating a candidate profile.
“A Candidate Profile” is your online resume that includes your
qualifications, skills, education and career interests. You can create and
maintain your profile without actually applying for a specific position. You
only have to create your profile once. You will create this profile by submitting
a general application.
The profile provides us with a snapshot
of your background, which we then refer to during candidate searches.
Essentially, it’s
a great way to keep your career options open. A Candidate Profile
is like sending us your cover letter and resume for consideration
in the event of a suitable vacancy.
