Where can I find a list of jobs at UTSA?

Timelines vary with each position. Hiring can take a few months, and in some cases, longer.

How do I find out the status of my application?
Log in to the UTSA Careers website and click on Job Applications to view your application status.

What does "preferred qualifications” in the job posting mean?
All positions require specific education, experience and skills. To meet the requirements for the position, applicants must have these required qualifications. Preferred qualifications are skills or experience that go above and beyond the required qualifications. They are not required for consideration, but are qualifications that the hiring manager may prefer an applicant possess. Applicants with preferred qualifications may be considered more qualified than an applicant who does not possess them.

My online application was referred to the hiring manager, but I still have not been contacted. Is there further action needed on my behalf?
No further action is needed. Being referred to the hiring manager may not result in a candidate being interviewed. The hiring manager reviews all candidates and determines the most qualified candidates to interview based on the application, resume and any required supporting documents.

Who do I contact if I am having issues creating a profile on the UTSA Career website?
If you are having issues creating a profile, email Talent Acquisition and use the following subject line: Profile Assistance Requested. Add an explanation of the issues you are having.

Are there any limitations when creating a username and password?
Your username and password may contain any combination of characters, including letters, numbers and special characters.

Can I still apply for a position that was posted during previous weeks, but is not posted now?
If the posting is no longer listed on the UTSA Careers website, then the position has closed and is no longer accepting applications.

In addition to the online application, what other documents are required?
Refer to the job posting as each position has specific information on the required documents that must be uploaded to be considered for the position.

If I do not finish my application, can I save it and complete it later?
You can save your application and return later to complete it. Click the Save as Draft button at the top of the page during any step of the application process.

Once my application has been received, what are the next steps?
Once you submit your application, an automated email is sent to you confirming the submission was received. Due to the volume of applications, only those applicants proceeding to the interview process will be notified of consideration for the position. You will receive an automatic disposition once the position is filled or if you do not meet the qualifications for the position.

How do I make changes to my application once it has been submitted?
Once an application has been submitted, changes cannot be made to the application. You will have to withdraw your application and re-apply to the position with the necessary updates needed.
