Once I submit my application to a specific job, what can I expect next?
Owens Corning will contact you if we feel you are qualified to move to the next stage in the recruiting process. Due to the volume of resumes we receive, we regret that we cannot personally respond to each person who applies.
How can I be notified of new jobs that are posted?
You can set up job alerts! Sign into your Talent Center account, navigate to "Careers" and select the "Create a New Job Alert" button. Input the parameters for your job alert by selecting a function, keywords or location. An email alert will be forward to you when jobs are posted that meet your selection requirements.
I was referred by an Owens Corning employee, what do I do?
When you apply to a particular job opening you are asked to indicate the name of the employee who referred you. You will need to enter the Owens Corning employee's name on a field on the application.
How long is my resume kept on file?
Your resume will be kept on file for at least 1 year from the date you updated your profile. You can always update your profile, including your resume and job preferences.
Will I only be considered for jobs I apply for?
No, we continually search our database for qualified candidates who match the job specifications of open positions. We could potentially contact you regarding a position you have not applied for.
Why should I create a candidate profile?
Information that is entered into the candidate profile is transferred to the application and reduces typing redundancies.
