Can I say “See Attached” on portions of the application that ask me to write information that is already listed in my resume or cover letter?
It is important that your application be complete, detailed, and clear, because our policy is to review completed applications only. If an applicant requests that we “see attached” resume or other materials instead of providing the required details on the application, his/her application package will be considered incomplete until the required information is filled in. Resumes and cover letters typically vary in format and may not include all of the information needed by HR and hiring committees to determine whether an applicant qualifies for a position. Additionally, many hiring committees screen applications for completeness and presentation. Completed applications with all sections filled out in their entirety are thusly more likely to be granted interview consideration.
