  • How do I apply for a job at BNL?
    Go to www.bnl.gov and then click “Careers at Brookhaven”. You will then be directed to our on-line Candidate Gateway system. You must sign in using a user name and password to apply for a job. You will be asked to complete a profile, once you do this you can apply to any openings that match your skills and qualifications. If you just care to glance at our openings a user name and password are not necessary.
     
  • What happens to my resume after I complete my profile and submit my resume?
    After you apply for a job, you will receive an email confirmation that your submission was successful. Your resume will be reviewed, and if there is further interest, you will be contacted by an HR Representative.
     
  • May I apply for more than one job at the same time?
    Yes, after you log in, just click in the boxes next to the requisition number for which you would like to be considered.
     
  • How can I check on the status of my resume?
    Due to the volume of resumes received, we cannot respond to individual requests for eligibility status. If the hiring department wishes to interview you, we will contact you to coordinate a site visit.
     
  • Is there a deadline for submitting a resume for an advertised job?
    As long as the job is still listed; we will continue to accept new resumes. BNL frequently re-posts job openings to solicit additional candidates. If you have already submitted a resume (or transfer for internal candidates) for a job that was re-posted or is still listed on our website, it is not necessary for you to apply again.
     
  • If I previously submitted a resume but wish to be considered for another position how do I apply for another job?

    Go back to our website and log in to Candidate Gateway using your registered user name and password. To apply for a job, click on the box next to the requisition number. You do not need to send another resume.
     
  • How do I update or edit my resume?
    You may not edit the resume you have submitted for a position. You may, however, submit a new resume when applying for another position. If absolutely necessary, you may email us with major changes and we will modify your file for you.
     
  • What if a job is no longer on the list of job openings?
    It means that we are no longer accepting resumes for that job opening.
     
  • I don’t see a job I’m interested in right now – can’t I just send you my resume?
    We want to make sure that you are applying for a position that meets your qualifications and interests. For that reason, we require you to apply to specific open positions for which you’d like to be considered.
     
  • What do I do if I forget my login information?
    You can go to LOGIN HELP and either get a new password if you know your USER NAME or if you do not remember either one, you can enter your email address and you will be sent an email containing your USERNAME and can then use that to have a new password sent to you.
     
  • I submitted my resume a few months ago and some of my experience has changed, can I update my resume?

    No you cannot modify your existing file. If you have significant changes we recommend that you re-apply. You can use a different resume when applying for another job, or bring the additional information with you if you are invited for an interview.
     
  • Can I update profile information such as my contact info?
    Yes. When you originally submitted your resume you were asked to create a username and password. Use this information to log in to your profile and make changes. (This will not include the ability to change education or experience information.)
     
  • If I have questions on using Candidate Gateway, whom do I contact?
