Student Guide to Uploading Documents on Symplicity

To submit applications (“bids”) you must upload the following:

1. Resume

Some employers will also request a cover letter (which you will have to create individually for each employer)

and/or an unofficial transcript (you must use the template provided at the bottom of this page).

Pay very close attention to each employer's required documents, and convert your documents into PDF format before uploading them to Symplicity.

Due to file size requirements, DO NOT upload a scanned version your transcript. Instead, use the template provided below to create an unofficial transcript. You are responsible for reporting your grades and overall GPA correctly, and in accordance with your school's reporting policies. Improperly reported GPA and/or grades may lead to dismissal from SEMJF.

How to upload documents

To upload documents, login to your SEMJF Symplicity account, click Documents - My Documents on the left menu, then click Add New. Select the appropriate document type for each document you upload, and name each document so that you can easily find it as you compile individual applications by selecting from your My Documents library. Your documents will upload more quickly, and you will maintain proper document formatting, if you save each document in PDF format before uploading it.

Cover Letters and Symplicity's Document LImit

Your Symplicity account has a 15 document limit. Because you may apply to up to 20 employers and need a separate cover letter for each, you may need to work around the limit this way: upload a batch of cover letters, submit those applications, then delete the letters from your My Documents library to make room for more. (A submitted document remains part of your application despite being deleted from your My Documents library.)

Contact information for a cover letter is available in the job posting; address your letter accordingly.
