How to Apply for a Job at Heifer
Welcome to Heifer International’s online application tool. In order to be considered for a position, please complete the online application for a specific position that is currently open on our site. If you are unable to complete the application online, contact us at jobs@heifer.org for a paper application. All application materials submitted must be in English.
Please be aware that the online application system does not allow you to create a profile without applying specifically for a position. There is not an option to enter and save your information without the system submitting your materials so once you start the application process the information will be submitted immediately. Also in some instances candidates receive e-mail confirmation of their application materials before they complete the entire application. Should this happen, please continue completing the application. At the time of application you have the option to upload a cover letter and resume, and we encourage you to do so. You must provide a valid e-mail address to apply online, as this is how you will receive information about positions for which you have applied. If you do not have an e-mail address you will need to contact us for a paper application. If you are in the area, please feel free to stop by our Headquarters location and use the lobby kiosk to apply for our career opportunities.
