Frequently Asked Questions

SEARCH JOB OPENINGS

• How do I find job openings on the SAIC Careers site?

  You can conduct a search by entering keywords in the search field at the top of the homepage or visit jobs.saic.com. With advanced search, you can search by keyword, job category, country, state, city, clearance, job requisition ID number (if you know it) and military occupation specialist (MOS) code.

• I entered my job search criteria, but the search returns "0" results. How do I find jobs that meet my search criteria?

  The search criteria you entered may be too narrow. Try broadening your search criteria. For a keyword search, consider a synonym.

  If, after following the search tips above, your search still returns 0 results, it is possible that there are no open job openings matching your criteria at this time. You may want to consider setting up a saved search, so that you can come back at another time to see if there are new search results. See the question below on saved searches to learn how.

  You can set up job agents or alerts so you can notified of positions that meet your search criteria. You can do so by searching for your job interest at jobs.saic.com and choosing the Set up Job Alert button.

• I saw a job opening in the Careers site, but now it's gone. Is it still open?

  It may not be. If a job opening has been filled, closed, or, for some other reason, is no longer available, you will not see it in the search results. You can set up job agents or alerts so you can be notified of positions that meet your search criteria. You can do so by searching for your job interests at jobs.saic.com and choosing the Set up Job Alert button.

APPLY TO A JOB OPENING

• How do I apply to a job opening?

  You can start by using the job search tool on jobs.saic.com to find a job opening (or multiple openings). On a job opening, click the "Apply Now" link. An application will pop up for you to complete. When you upload your resume, fields will automatically populate on your job submission. Make sure to check that your information is correct, and make sure to complete any other fields required to complete your submission. Click "Submit" when you are finished.

• Can I submit my resume to multiple job postings at the same time?

  No, however you can apply for multiple jobs.

• I am currently an SAIC employee but cannot access the Careers site. Why?

  Current SAIC employees need to access the Internal Careers site through SAIC's intranet. To log onto the company intranet, use your SAIC user ID and password. If you have problems logging on, contact the SAIC Help Desk.

• I created a profile in the SAIC Talent Network. Does that mean I've applied to SAIC?

  No. The SAIC Talent Network allows candidates to provide SAIC with contact information so our Talent Acquisition team can better match you with opportunities. If you want to apply to a specific job, visit jobs.saic.com and apply for positions of interest.

• I received an error message when trying to upload my resume. What should I do?

  Uploading your resume into your candidate profile will automatically populate the fields in your job submission. If you receive an "access denied" or similar error message, save your resume in compatibility mode before uploading it, or access the Careers site from a network that is not restricted/firewalled (such as your home connection). You can still complete your submission, if your resume will not upload, by filling each field in the form separately.

JOB ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

• Do all the job openings at SAIC require a security clearance?

  No. Security clearance requirements are identified in each job description. If a clearance is associated with a job, the job description will state whether applicants must currently hold or be able to attain a specific type of clearance. If no clearance is required, the job description will state that none is required.

• How can I find SAIC job openings that do not require a security clearance?

  To search for job openings which do not require a security clearance, navigate to the job search results page and select "None" as the criteria in the clearance required filter.

  No, but depending on the job, there may be eligibility requirements. SAIC complies with Employment Eligibility Verification Requirements set forth by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
