Note: This software is database driven, meaning, whatever you do on each page is recognized by the server, therefore, you may experience a quick refresh or flash of the page you are on. This is just the database reading what action you have just taken on the page. You will also need you resume and possibly other documents (if you are not in the I-O field) during the application process, so make sure they are locally accessible.
