NOTE: Documents signed by a Proctor must include the location contact information in order to be verified. Use your mobile device: Take a picture and it to yourself. Save the attachment from the on to the computer you use to apply; or Use a document scanner mobile app (i.e. Tiny Scanner ) to scan your document so PDF Visit an office supply store (i.e. Staples) and see if they are able to scan documents to PDF for your personal use. (Charges may be incurred) TIP #2: Rename your files This may help the recruiter easily locate required documents that may be missed if improperly labeled. Try to include the date the document was created/obtained i.e. a typing certificate can be named as Typing Certificate issued TIP #3: View your documents prior to uploading Make sure your documents are clear and readable TIP #4: Take a screenshot showing your file has uploaded If the submission doesn t go through, but it showed you uploaded the document, a screenshot may help the recruiter reconsider your application if you are screened out due to a required document not being attached. TIP #5: Separate your documents into individual files. DO NOT upload all documents to a single file. This will make it easier for the Recruiter to locate the required documents. 16
