What do I need before I can apply?
You need an account created with your mobile number, and a resume on your account that GoodSpace has read. Everything else is filled in for you at apply time.
The checklist
- An account, created with your mobile number and a one time password
- A resume on your account in PDF, DOC or DOCX, under 5 MB
- Your name and email, which are read from the resume and can be corrected on screen
How each one is checked
- Login
Pressing Quick Apply while signed out opens Log in or Register. Once you are in, the apply carries on by itself.
- Resume
If no readable resume is on your account, an Upload your resume to apply box opens before anything else.
If you have no resume file, select Onboard manually in that box and enter your details by hand.
- Name and email
If the resume is missing either, a One last thing screen asks you to confirm your name and add an email.
