About Us View Profile HIRING PROCESS Step 1: Application Initial Step To be considered for any position, you must create a profile through the NS Careers page. The profile serves as your resume and includes contact information and work experience. Mailed and emailed resumes will not be considered. To create a profile, register as a first-time applicant here. The system will prompt you to create a new profile by entering your desired user name, password, and email address. The email address will be used as the main method of contact. If you do not have an email address, free email accounts are available through Google, Hotmail, and Yahoo. As a returning applicant, you will be prompted to sign in with your user name and password. Once your profile is complete, you can submit an online application through the website. The Human Resources department reviews applications and contacts selected applicants for the next steps. You will receive a confirmation email after you apply. All correspondence regarding application status is sent via email. The profile and application take approximately 45 minutes to complete. One application per job is sufficient; however, you can submit an application for any number of jobs. With the “Add Favorite” option, you can add job postings to your list of favorites. Based upon the position the total application process might take several weeks to months to complete. Applicants can log in to the Careers website to monitor application status and update profiles.
