| Answer | You may deliver letters from Interfolio to AcademicJobsOnline.org directly by following these steps. A similar FAQ is also available at the Interfolio site. You are strongly advised not to request Interfolio to mail/email any letters directly to the employers or to us.
Step 1. Log in to your Interfolio account. Make sure the letters you need are in your account by checking your Documents or My Materials page.
Step 2. From your Documents or My Materials page, locate the document you’d like uploaded. Click on the document titles to find the unique email addresses (usually like send.*.xxxxxx@interfolio.com) associated with the letters.
In the next step, you will need to copy and paste them.
Step 3. Open another browser window. Log in to
AcademicJobsOnline.org
and then go to your
Standard Coversheet form.
- Add a new Reference entry for each of the letter writers. Copy the unique Interfolio email address from Interfolio
and paste it into the corresponding email field there. You must keep this email there for the whole application process.
- Check the "email notify writer on submit" or "email again" checkbox for each of the entries. [<== DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS]
- Note 1: Do not check any of the check boxes underneath the affiliation field
including the one that says "must check here if the person above will upload letters on behalf of multiple writers".
- Note 2: You need to request a letter from Interfolio only once, only make requests from your coversheet form; you can use the same letter for as many applications as you like. If you forgot to send the requests when you entered the email, you can come back to the Coversheet form later and click on the green arrows there to send them. Do not send email reminders again on any job application forms for the same letters from Interfolio.
- Note 3: However, if the letters are written for a specific employer/application only, don't check these checkboxes for those letters. Instead after submitting the Coversheet form next, go to the job application form (by clicking on the 'Apply' link on the Jobs page) and click on the green arrow there for each of the letters to send the requests, and continue with the next step.
- After you have added all the writers you want, submit the Standard Coversheet form by
pressing the "Submit" button at the bottom of the form. The system will email Interfolio with your letter requests.
Step 4. Monitor your email. Interfolio will create a new Pending Delivery for each letter requested
and send you an email to inform you that you need to
log in to Interfolio and navigate to your Deliveries page to process your pending deliveries.
Currently (2014) Interfolio charges $4 per document to be sent. If you don't receive the email from Interfolio after a while, please go back to your Standard Coversheet to make sure you have sent the requests (in Step 3 above); if not sent, click on the green arrows there to send them.
Please note, once you have completed the steps above, it may take
Interfolio a day or so to get the letters uploaded. All uploaded letters will be listed on your Standard Coversheet form. Please check there and your Status page to make sure the right letters have been uploaded. If the letters are not listed there, then they have not been uploaded by Interfolio yet. Please contact
Interfolio directly if they are not uploaded after a few days.
