Notes:
You can only attach ONE document to your application. If you want to include a resume
and cover letter, they need to be combined into ONE document.
The easiest way for departments to see the attachment is if it is in a MS Word document.
However, MS Word 2007 and 2010 are NOT compatible with all browsers, so please save
your document in MS Word 2003.
Please keep your document's title shorter than 60 characters; if you get a "parsing" error, it
means the title of your document is too long.

attach, click Upload
