What to expect
You should receive an email from “My Workday UW (uw@myworkday.com)” confirming we received your application. If you use spam or junk mail filters on your email account, make sure that you add “uw@myworkday.com” to your “safe senders” list.

No longer interested in being considered for the position? You can sign into your account and, from the Candidate Home tab, select the Actions option next to your application (it looks like three little dots) and the select Withdraw Application.
My Application Status guide:

The department will select the most qualified candidates for interviews and may contact you via phone or email.
