Pfizer Career Guide: FAQ's
(NOTE: These FAQ’s are intended for use only by those seeking employment in the US.)
I am interested in working at Pfizer. How do I submit a résumé?
We welcome and encourage submission of résumé in response to postings detailed on this web site. Please follow the résumé submission instructions associated with each posting. Alternatively, in the absence of a posting for a position in which you are interested, you may submit your résumé as an indication of general interest in a Pfizer career.
We require that all applicants submit your résumé electronically. Pfizer uses an electronic system that can attempt to match your résumé either with your specified choice of job openings or with openings across a variety of disciplines and business units of Pfizer.
Using this web site, you can: Submit your résumé online. After creating your profile, you can update your record and maintain the most current information in our database.
Your profile will be entered into our recruiting database, where it will be electronically accessible to all our Human Resources professionals. If there is a potential match between our hiring needs and your qualifications, we may contact you directly.
If a job is posted at this web site, does this mean it is still open?
Yes. If a position is visible on the web site it generally means the position has not yet been filled.
How often do you update your job openings on Pfizer.com?
The job openings listed on our web site are updated the instant a change is made in our database.
There are no jobs currently posted that match my interests. Should I submit my résumé to Pfizer anyway?
Yes. We will continuously search our database of résumés and attempt to match them to openings as they are posted.
What will happen to my résumé?
Your résumé will be entered into our electronic résumé database. Our electronic résumé management system allows us to identify talent by searching for your résumé as a possible match for job openings. All Human Resources recruiters have access to this database and continually search for résumés that most closely match our current job opportunities. So whether you are interested in a specific position, or you simply want to be considered for any positions that match your background, we can review your résumé.
Your résumé will remain active in our database until you withdraw it from consideration by using the “Submit/Update résumé” link with the text “REMOVE” in the resume text field.
Will you confirm that you received my résumé?
Receipt of online submissions is acknowledged with an email response.
I did not receive an email acknowledgement when I applied to a job. How can I verify my application was received?
The system does not allow us to resend confirmation emails, but you can verify the jobs you have applied for online by logging into our system and viewing this information under ”My Applications”.
I accidentally deleted my confirmation email. Can you resend?
The system does not allow us to resend confirmation emails, but you can verify the jobs you have applied for online by logging into our system and viewing this information under ”My Applications”.
I recently submitted my résumé. How will I know the status of it?
Due to the volume of résumés we receive, after our initial acknowledgment we do not personally contact everyone who sends a résumé, either for a status update, or to let you know whether you will be asked to interview with us.
I cannot use the online system due to a disability and require an accommodation to apply for a job — What can I do?
Pfizer is committed to providing an equal opportunity in job application procedures for qualified individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans. We take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans. We are currently working on improving our site, and recommend in the interim that if you find it difficult to use, you may submit a paper résumé.
