I found a position I’m interested in, how do I apply?

We accept online applications via our "Apply" or “Apply with LinkedIn” links at the bottom of each specific job description. Our online application process varies, depending on the role.

If you require an accommodation based on your physical or mental disability please email: SeeYourself@cigna.com.

How can I add a resume or cover letter to the application I've already submitted?

How do I add a referral to my application?

I've accidentally withdrawn my application and would like to still be considered for the role. How do I reactivate it?

You can contact our Cigna Careers Facebook Page. Please note: you will be unable to change anything on your application when re-activating. Your application will be considered as-is.

Can I submit or e-mail you my resume for general consideration, rather than applying to a specific job?

To be considered for a position with Cigna, you will need to apply directly to a role on our career site; we do not accept resumes by e-mail. Need help figuring out which roles to apply to? Visit the homepage of our careersite and select "Get Started." Here, you'll be able to upload your resume and get matched with job opportunities that closely align with your previous skills and experience. Watch our resume upload how-to video by clicking here.

I've already applied. How long until I receive an update?
Our recruiters review every application individually, taking care to advance candidates whose skills and abilities most closely match the experience and skills listed in the job description. This can take a bit of extra time, so we ask you allow our recruiters 1-3 weeks to follow up regarding the status of your application.

My application is "under review." What does that mean?

This means our hiring team has received your application and are reviewing your materials to evaluate how your skills and experience fit the listed requirements in the job description. This stage can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks. One a decision has been made regarding your application status, you will receive a notification.
