If we are applying for just one salaried position, what should we do when the second ‘add position’ box appears?
When adding a salaried position to your application, clicking the ‘add this position’ button will save the information you have added and will open up a second ‘add position’ box. If you require just the one position for your application, you can ignore this box and move on to the next question. Note that the ‘delete this position’ button, which appears when you save a position, is NOT an instruction but merely an option if information has been entered incorrectly.
