Can candidates share email addresses?

No, please be aware that each candidate must have a unique identifier (email address). Therefore, email addresses cannot be shared among applicants. If you do not have an email address, you can create one using one of the many free email accounts available online.

What should I do if I haven't received a response from SEL?
SEL sends an initial e-mail response to all applicants at time of resumé submittal. If you did not receive this e-mail please check your SPAM filter and make sure your system is not blocking e-mails from SEL. It is important that you ensure your receipt of this e-mail as SEL will communicate future position updates via e-mail. If, at anytime throughout the hiring process, you have questions regarding your status please feel free to call our Human Resource Department . We can be reached at (509)334-8060.

I’ve lost the formatting to my resumé. How can I correct it?
Please note that HTML formatting (such as bullet points) in your resumé may be lost and affect the appearance of your resumé. We highly encourage you to limit or refrain from using such formatting as it may affect our ability to thoroughly evaluate your qualifications. Using basic formatting or plain text is recommended.
