How long does the application take?

• In addition to the application blanks, you will be asked to complete an Person-Organization Fit Assessment. Depending on your familiarity with using Computers and speed in reading comprehension, this process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Do you have to complete the application all at once?

• No. You can stop the application at any time and resume where you left off using your User ID and Password. The only exception is the timed portion of the Person- Organization Fit Assessment, which does have to be completed once you begin.

How long does it generally take to hear back if MDI is interested in interviewing me for a position?

• Due to the high volume of applications we receive, it can take up to 3 weeks before we contact qualified candidates for available positions.
