Long shot, but does anyone know if you have to fully complete Delta's online application to be considered for an open position? I submitted my resume, and it says my file is "Under Review". But there's also a generic online application that requires me to list references, current supervisor's name, etc. I'd rather not fill all this info out right now, especially because my current employer doesn't know I'm out looking for a job. :X
I'm also skeptical I should fill this out since it asks for my past 10 years of job experience, when I just graduated last year. Does anyone know of better channels to submit resumes for open positions?
This is for a corporate job, if that makes any difference.

I hope we aren't competing...

Thanks J. When you say "enter the application," do you mean upload my resume? Or upload my resume, fill out a couple fields in the online app and save? I wonder if this is just an initial screening process, especially since it didn't ask for other materials like a cover letter, etc.
And no worries, I applied on a whim and would only be somewhat disappointed if I didn't get considered. Hope your job search ends well

And thanks... question to everyone: I don't have my bachelor's yet (will have it end of May) and got turned down for one thing because of that (automated rejection too!)
Should I just say I have a bachelor's, and then they will see what I mean when they look at my profile? Otherwise it's kind of tough to apply lol.-J.

I can't exactly envision your situation, but say what you need to say (that you have a BA/S) to over-ride the auto-reject and then clarify with a simple (Expected in May 2014) somewhere else in your application or resume.

How is the system detecting your recent education? and then auto-rejecting you for it?

That's what I was wondering if I should do. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one with that idea

The first application (that I alluded to before) questions each of the minimum qualifications... one of them was "Do you have a Bachelor's Degree?" or something along those lines. It looks at that first I guess, and if it rejects then it doesn't look at the detailed history.

If you don't mind sharing, which position did you apply for? I submitted resumes for the Latin America positions.

I hate checks in the mail. In order to deal with them, I have to be home to collect my mail. If you want to pay me, I take PayPal, Amazon Payments, ACH transfers, and anything else I can do from my keyboard.
