Application Process

Step-by-Step Description of the Application Process

Search for a job.

  • Our Job Search is in the upper-right corner of every page on our Careers website.
  • You need to select your region of the world first; then you can narrow the search by location, business, type of job, keyword search, and other advanced search options.
  • Click on the job to read the description and start the process by clicking on 'Apply Online,' or click on 'Add to My Job Cart' to save this job for later application.

Apply online.

  • Create a username and password for your candidate profile.
  • Then, you'll need to upload your resume, which will automatically enter some of your personal information, education, and work experience. Be sure to check and make sure it is entered accurately.
  • You'll also have the opportunity to attach a cover letter and, depending on the position, supplementary materials. There also may be a job-specific questionnaire to fill out. It may take 15 minutes or so to complete the application; but you can always save your application and return later to finish it.
  • At the end, check your information in the summary and then send it to us! You will immediately be sent a confirmation of your application via e-mail.
  • Your information will be saved under your username, so future applications to other jobs at The McGraw-Hill Companies will only need updates to your experience and other job-specific information.

Didn't find a job right for you? Create your Candidate Profile.

  • If you are interested in working at McGraw-Hill but aren't ready to apply right now, or don't find the job that's right for you currently available, you can still create your candidate profile.
  • Our recruiters do look at the pool of previous applicants and profiles from time to time, but it's best if you periodically come back and look for a job that fits you.
  • You should also join our Talent Network and receive job updates and reminders via e-mail to come look for a job with us!

We review your application.

  • Our recruiters will review your application and determine whether your profile matches what we are looking for in this position.
  • Be patient; this can take some time.
  • If you are a match, you will be contacted by a recruiter.
  • However, if you are not a match, you may not hear from a recruiter and will be notified via e-mail once the position is filled.

Interview(s).

  • A recruiter will contact you for a brief informational interview, usually by phone.
  • This is your chance to find out more about the position as well as a chance for us to start to get to know you.
  • Then, you may be selected to have an in-person or phone interview with the hiring manager. This interview will give you a chance to meet the people you could be working with, get a feel for our work environment, and ask questions about the role and expectations.
  • Be prepared to talk about your past experience and what you can bring to the position, as well as more general information and your ideas and thoughts about the business.
  • There may be further rounds of interviews as necessary.

Reference and background check.
We will perform reference and background checks before making an offer; your recruiter will let you know what to expect and what is required.

The Offer!
Finally, if everything works out, your recruiter will send you a formal offer letter via e-mail or regular mail. You still have the opportunity to ask questions, and ultimately, confirm your acceptance of the offer, and join our organization!
