KP Candidate Profile
KP Candidate Profile
1.
Why is your KP candidate profile important?
- Talent Acquisition (KP Recruitment) uses the KP candidate profile to evaluate your qualifications when you apply for a position.
- Include all relevant information in your profile to show Talent Acquisition you have the required skills and experience for each job submission.
2.
How do I get started developing my Candidate Profile?
- Go to the KP Internal Careers Website
- Click on “My Profile”
- Click on “Access my profile” on the right side of the page.
- Complete the “Personal Information” section in detail. (Make sure that your email address is current, and that your voicemail box is set up and not full because Talent Acquisition may only contact you once, and then move on to other candidates if they aren’t able to reach you.)
- Use the “Edit” link to modify the information as needed.
- Click on “Save and Continue” before exiting each page.
3.
What do I need to put in the “Personal Information” section to demonstrate that I am an outstanding candidate?
- Include information about your background that relates to the essential duties and qualifications listed in the job posting. Describe your contributions, skills and strengths by using action verbs and accomplishment statements.
- Use the “STAR” method (Situation-Task-Action-Results) as a guide to develop accomplishment statements that illustrate the experience you bring to the position. Learn more
- Use the “Additional Information” spaces at the end of the Personal Information section to include important information like computer and language skills, training, activities, achievements and other relevant experiences.
4.
How can I best use the “Job Posting Notification” section?
- Request to be notified when positions of interest are posted on KP Careers. This will help ensure that you apply for the job and take any pre-hire assessments within the 7-day internal bidding window.
- For high volume non-union positions only the first 20-25 qualified applicants may be considered; therefore, applying promptly is important.
- To be notified when jobs come up, in the “Job Posting Notification” section, click on the “Yes” box and indicate your “Job Level” and “Schedule” preferences.
- To make sure you are notified about relevant jobs, in the “Employment Preferences” section, indicate “Job Fields” and “Locations” that interest you. (Note that you can click on more than one item per category by holding down the “Control” key.)
5.
Do I need to attach a resume?
- While not required, attaching a resume enables you to communicate your experience and abilities more fully to Talent Acquisition than you can through your Profile alone.
- In the “Attach A File” section, you can upload up to 25 documents, such as licenses, credentials, certificates, and resumes for different types of positions.
- If you have only one resume on file, and you want that resume to be included with every job for which you apply, then make sure the “Yes” box is checked.
- If you have multiple resumes or other documents on file, make sure you select the correct resume and other document(s) you want to be sent with each job submission.
