    Here's a screenshot of the error, once I have selected the file I want to upload and clicked ok, the 'confirm your changes' pages comes up, just before the user agreements, with this message. I've tried it on Chrome, Safari and Firefox, all with the same results

    That appears to be normal. I've seen that same "fakepath" used for other upload systems and it's not a problem. Have you tried going ahead and submitting?

    Yeah I have submitted and it all goes through fine and dandy, but then when nagivating to my profile again to view updated changes it just says 'upload file' back under the upload resume section almost like there is no evidence that my file is sitting there on my profile for view.

    I'm not sure it will show in any way that you've uploaded a resume, but not having submitted one myself I can't say for sure. Perhaps someone else here who has will be able to confirm.

     

    Regards.

    Peraps this is test #1 from Apple. If you can't solve this, maybe they don't want you

    I have the exact same problem, and when I check my profile again, there's no evidence that I've uploaded anything.  Can you give us an update on whether you ever figured this out?

    Yes i have the same issue. It is rather perplexing but I do believe the resume is loaded.

    Add this one to the list of thinks that don't work on the Apple Job Board. It looks like Apple is using ADP's VE (Virtual Edge) technology to run this system, and I've been stupified by the number of features that are just broken, or so poorly thought out by ADP as to be unusable, (certainly for webkit and mozilla browsers at least: I didn't bother checking IE.)

     

    Here are a few highlights:

     

    • "My Job List", list of jobs applied for, seems to max out at three. You can apply for more than that, but you can only see the first three.

    • "Search Using Your Resume" feature yields few or no results, even when the pasted text contains only common, exactly matched words like 'Design' or 'Engineer'.

    • The missing resume upload, described in this thread.

    • "My Job Agent" seems to never flag anything, at least it hasn't ever for me despite pretty loose criteria.

    • Agent's created using "My Job Agent" eventually just disappear, which is fine because they don't seem to work.

    • When updating a profile, acknowledging the 'Terms' happens twice in a row. 

    • Job seekers can only supply one cover letter despite being able apply for several jobs.

    • Pagination for search results only appears at the top of the page, so it's necessary to scroll down through each page, then up to the top again to proceed to the next page.

     

    Well, I'm sure there are others, but you get the idea. I hope the Apple folks can fix this, (or twist ADP's arm to fix it,) so it better represents the quality of experience that Apple is so respected for consistently delivering.

    Hi guys,

    I had the same issue in the begining. But basically, you need to enter a 'text based resume' and then also upload your 'formatted resume'. Once both were entered, everything worked for me.

     

    Good luck,

    Conrad

    Conrad,

    What kind of document did you make your resume .pdf or .docx?
