I Found the Perfect Job! How Do I Submit an Application?

  • Visit the JOB page.
  • Select APPLY NOW.
  • Write an introductory message about yourself to the hiring manager in a few simple words. Think of this like your elevator pitch: what do they need to know about you that makes you the perfect candidate for their job post?
  • Select APPLY NOW.

NOTE: In order to apply for any job, you MUST register first. If you would like to know more about how to register, please refer to “How to Create Your Candidate Account?”.

  • Select the SAVE Icon and then the job post will be saved to your account for later.

NOTE: To view all of the saved jobs, please select SAVED JOBS once you are logged into your account. There is a possibility you might not see the full history of the saved jobs. This is because your job post might have been deleted or it has since expired. All job posts will expire after 30 DAYS, so you have to act fast!

Where Can I Find the Status of My Application?

Curious to see if the employer checked out your stellar application? You can check on the status of your application by clicking JOB APPLICATIONS in your account. You will be able to see all of the job applications you have applied to thus far

What Happens If My Job Application is Accepted?

This is fantastic news! We couldn't be happier that you found a job AND you were accepted to your dream position! Once your application gets accepted, you will receive an email to the email address connected to your account. You will also see a NOTIFICATION in your profile for the acceptance.

To see more information about the application, simply log into your account and select the job application or notifications. Once the employer has selected your application, they will also be able to see your phone number and email address. They may then contact you to proceed with the next steps!

How Do I Send a Message to an Employer?

Introducing yourself in an introductory message when you submit your application automatically increases your chances of being hired by 37%! You should always share some information about yourself to show what you can offer and also share any potentially relevant interest or skills that also set you apart from others!

After you submit your application and you still haven't heard from your employer, you might be curious to see if they checked your application. You can send ONE MESSAGE to your employer with the messaging feature. Please follow these steps:

  • Go to JOB APPLICATIONS.
  • Select the appropriate application that you would like to send a message to.
  • Select the icon to message them and you will then see a new window where you can send a message. Then, you can craft a message and hit send.
IMPORTANT: You will NOT be able to send more than one message to any one employer UNTIL your application is accepted. After that, you can send UNLIMITED messages as you chat with your new potential employer.

Introducing QR Codes to Apply to Jobs

We know how it feels to walk into an establishment and ask about job openings. Some candidates think it is unprofessional to do so, but that's not the case anymore. You should never feel ashamed of being proactive and going to find the right job, or even asking people face-to-face about their open positions. It shows you have initiative! 😉

If you find a place you really want to work at, you might see a QR CODE posted in the store, on their door, next to the register, or potentially on their front window. These QR CODES are scannable and help to save the employer time with finding applications, but they also have a lot of benefits for job seekers like you too!

Apron Careers has created custom QR CODES for businesses that partner with our platform to find candidates. When you walk into an establishment and you see a QR CODE from Apron Careers, all you have to do is scan it with your cell phone. Simply take out your phone, open the camera or scan feature, and wait for the link to load on your browser.

From there, you can see if any positions are available that you might be interested in applying for. When you find one that you would like to apply for, simply click the job application and then follow to the application page to apply.

If you don't find a job that you desire at the moment, the Apron Careers QR CODES also allow you to fill out an application to be considered for future positions. That way, you can save yourself some time later once you find out that this particular store is looking for candidates for your desired position.

With this function, you don't have to come back to the storefront to apply again. They will have your information on file to contact you if you are a suitable candidate for their positions! Best of all, these applications and forms only take four minutes of your time. It's incredibly easy, and it's all accessible from your phone.

Don't you think this is the best new way to apply for jobs and contact your potential new manager? We believe it is the way of the future, and we are so happy to reduce the amount of work you do to find the perfect job in the hospitality industry!
