We have partnered with a new vendor to handle authentication with Jobs Portal. They do not support Twitter as a valid login option. New accounts for existing Twitter users have been created. If you are one of these users, please check your inbox for an activation e-mail.

When a user creates an account through federated logins UCR cannot delete account information because it is needed to maintain job records. The only information that is being collected from federated logins is the user’s email. The user’s email is used as the user's account ID in our applicant tracking system therefore by deleting it, we would lose all reference to the user’s applications and profile information.

You may contact the California Telephone Access Program by dialing 711 from any phone in California or by visiting: http://ddtp.cpuc.ca.gov/. A Communications Assistant can help you contact the Human Resources office at 951.827.JOBS.
