Transition to University OLA

May 21, 2009

Currently, existing account owners should create a new account at ola.indiana.edu, in order to be prepared to apply for a job on June 12 or after. If applicable, applicants will also need to retake the MS Office 2007 typing and Word tests.

Indiana University is moving to a unified, online application process for open jobs on all IU campuses, effective June 12, 2009. The new employment process will make it easier for applicants to apply for job openings and provide greater transparency to the applicant.

Users will be able to…

• Enjoy a streamlined process of creating a personal OLA account
• Store a resume in OLA for easy access and easy apply process
• Search all open Staff positions at all campuses (effective in June)
• Customize their job search by campus location, type of job or job number
• See the status of their application, e.g., if they were referred or not; if the department is conducting interviews; if a job offer has been made; view their test scores

An online process provides efficient use of IU and environmental resources, near 24/7 access for applicants, and opportunities for an expanded diverse applicant pool.  IU is pleased to be able to offer this application method.
