Frequently Asked Questions: Letter of Intent
Question
Answer
I changed my address in Employment
Self Service (ESS) as the Letter of
Intent stated but it is not reflecting
the new address on the intent form.
Any changes will not be reflected on the letter of
intent. The ESS and Winocular are two different
information systems.
I tried using my PWCS WorkSpace
username and log in for ESS but it
does not work.
Your username and log in for ESS is different from
Winocular. Please go to the ESS website located at
pwcs.edu under Employment/Benefits for more
information.
I don’t know my PWCS WorkSpace
username and log in.
Your username and password are the same as your
online employment application. An e-mail will be sent
to you the last week of December to assist with the
username and password. If you have any further
questions, please feel free to contact the Employment
Service Center at 703.791.8050 or Live Chat between
