Applicants with several roles to enter
If you have a long work history, plan time to check the experience stage line by line. That stage is where mismatched dates and titles usually appear.

Paste a job description to begin
Review possible keywords grouped by type, with text-overlap results if you add your resume. Confirm requirements in the original posting.
Expect a multi-page application
Workday applications are usually split into stages such as your information, your experience, application questions and a final review. Keep your employment dates, titles and education to hand so you can enter or correct them without leaving the form half finished.
Treat imported fields as a draft
When an application offers to fill fields from your uploaded resume, read every imported job and degree afterwards. A title, company or date in the wrong box is easier to fix on the form than to explain later.
Plan for an account per employer
Employers commonly run their own Workday career site, which can mean creating a separate sign-in for each one. Use an email address you check and keep a note of where you applied.

Who This Page Helps Most
Recommended Workflow
Step 1
Open the employer's Workday career site
Start from the employer's own listing so you apply on the right site, and note whether you must sign in before you can start.
Step 2
Prepare a plain, single-column resume
Use standard headings and selectable text so any import or copy-paste keeps the right order. Check this in a plain text editor first.
Step 3
Correct the experience stage by hand
Compare each imported role with your resume: employer, title, start and end dates, and location. Fix anything that landed in the wrong field.
Step 4
Review the final summary before submitting
Read the last page, confirm the attached file is the version you intended, and keep a copy of what you submitted.
What A Better Result Usually Looks Like
Dates agree in two places
The date range on your resume and in the experience stage should match, including current roles marked as ongoing.
Titles are your real titles
Enter the title you held, not a shortened version, so the record matches your references.
Optional sections are a choice
Voluntary disclosure pages are separate from your application. Read what each asks before answering.
Common Mistakes This Page Can Help You Catch
Leaving the experience stage unchecked
Imported text can attach a date to the wrong job. Read the stage rather than assuming it came through correctly.
Using a decorative template
Sidebars and text boxes are the usual reason an import places text in the wrong field. A single column is safer.
Applying with an unverified email
Account confirmation and updates go to the address you enter, so a typo can cost you a message.
