The best way to submit your resume to Advocate Health Care is through our online profile tool. When you complete the Advocate Health Care profile your resume is entered into our resume database, which is searchable by the recruiting team. Once you create a profile, you can apply to any job opening that matches your skills and qualifications by filling in your email address and selecting a password.

To be properly considered for a position at Advocate Health Care, we ask that you complete the online application. There is help offered throughout the process, or you can visit one of our locations and one of our staff members will assist you.

When you apply online to a specific job, the Advocate Health Care recruiter responsible for each job you apply to will be immediately notified via email of your submission.

After you have applied for a position, you should see a verification on the computer screen. This is your assurance that we now have your application. No other verification will be sent.

You may upload your resume where designated, from your hard drive. Or, you may cut and paste your resume in either Word or plain text format. To ensure that all recruiters can view and print your resume regardless of what word processor or operating system they are using, please save your resume as text only (.txt) in your chosen word processor as opposed to Word or Word Perfect format prior to cutting and pasting.

If you are having trouble cutting and pasting, try saving your resume as a "text only" file. You can do that by going to the "file" menu at the top of the screen, and then clicking on "save as." In the window that opens there is an option below the file name called "Save as type." Click on the down arrow to find the "text only" option. Then try again to cut and paste your resume.

Another option is to reformat your resume to make it as simple as possible. Underlining, italics, graphics, tables and columns will not work well with our system.

If you have successfully pasted your resume but don't like the way it is formatted, you can make revisions right in the resume field.

If your resume looks irregular, such as odd spacing at the end of lines, this may be because the text box only allows 80 characters per line. Your word processor may save more on one line. All you need to do is go to the end of each line and delete the empty spaces.

There is an 8,000 character limit in the resume field, and a 2,000 character limit in the cover letter field (including spaces). If either document is over the limit, an error will occur.

You may edit or update your profile at any time through the “Review/Edit Account” page.

You can access your profile through the "Edit Profile" page using your old email address and password. Once you update your email in your profile, you will then access it by using the new email and your password.
