What do I do if I am interested in a position with BVSD?
You will need to apply using our online application process.
What does this new online process mean for old paper applications?
Paper applications/resumes will no longer be considered or accepted at BVSD.
What if I do not own a computer or have Internet access?
You may use computers located in our Human Resources department (see address below). Computers
with Internet access are often available at your local public library, some college campuses,
coffee houses, and other places such as Kinkos (which may require a user fee).
What if I lose or forget my User ID or Password?
On our application Welcome screen, you can select the "Did you forget your user name or
password?" link and follow the prompts. If you still can’t access your application, please call Human
Resources at 303-447-5031 during regular business hours.
What if I do not have an email address?
We strongly encourage you to create a personal email account to efficiently process your online
application. Email services such as Yahoo, Hotmail and MSN frequently offer free email accounts.
How will you communicate with me?
Most communication is through email, although we may also use regular mail and/or phone. During
the online application process you will be asked to enter your contact information such as your
address, telephone number, and email address. It is important to keep all of this information up-to-date.
What if I would like to update my online application?
By using your User ID and Password, you can access your application anytime – day or night. Just
add or change any of the information on your application and select “Save and Quit” or
“Apply/Update” once you are finished.
How long will you keep my application on file?
Your online application will remain active from 1-6 months from the date you applied. However, each
time you update your online information your active status is reset for the number of months you
choose (1, 3, or 6 months are your choices). The best way to keep your application current is to
update it as your information changes.
How do I inactivate my application?
If you no longer wish to be considered for any position in BVSD, please send an email to
hrd@bvsd.org with “inactivate my application” in the subject line and your application will be
inactivated. You can “withdraw” from any specific job requisition, but keep your application active.
What if I do not know anything about computers?
Not everyone is familiar or comfortable with using a computer. Simply visit our Human Resources
department at 6500 Arapahoe Road, Boulder, CO and our staff will be happy to provide you with
assistance using our online application system.

Why can’t I just submit my resume and skip all the other steps in the online application?
Our online application system does allow applicants to submit their resumes in either an attachment
or cut and paste in a free-text field. At BVSD, we require all candidates to complete the entire online
application in order to be fully considered for any job position. Should we only receive your resume
your application will be considered incomplete, and your application may not be considered. This
issue may cause delays in the hiring process for both parties.
How do I submit a cover letter/letter of interest?
Cover letters or letters of interest are strongly recommended for all positions. The best place to enter a
cover letter or letter of interest is on the Preferences screen in the “Attach cover letter and/or additional documents” section. The system gives you the option to attach or type in your letter of interest. You can also paste
your letter. If the above options do not work, you can send your letter of interest to the BVSD Human
Resources office and we will scan and attach your letter for you.
