1.  How do I apply for an open position?
To be considered an applicant, you must submit a completed application. You may include a resume with a cover letter specifying the position or positions for which you are applying. You must completely fill out all sections of the application even if you attach a resume.

2.  Do I need to submit a separate application and resume with cover letter for each position for which I apply?
The Lehigh application allows you to indicate that you are interested in applying for several positions. You may also state the positions for which you are applying in your cover letter. If after submitting an application and resume for a position(s), you decide to apply for other positions, you may call Human Resources or send a letter or e-mail to indicate your interest.

3.  Where do I submit my application and resume with cover letter?
You can mail or email a cover letter and resume or come directly to our office to complete a job application and drop off your resume. To download a job application, click here.
