How Do I Apply? |
In order to be considered for employment a fully completed application, and if required for the particular job, a supplemental application or license, certification or other required documents must be completed and received by Human Resources by the deadline indicated on the particular job posting.
When you search the jobs database, each job you view will have a job application available with it in Adobe Acrobat .pdf Format. You must have the free reader available below in order to view the application.
Simply print the application materials at home, fill out and send it in. Please note that if the job you are applying for has a supplemental application required, you must fill that out as well and send it in along with any other required documents or your application will be considered incomplete and rejected. You may also still pick up applications at the Government Center and mail in or drop off completed applications (our contacts and address information is on our home page). Please note that even if an application is received by the deadline, if it is not fully completed by the deadline, it will be rejected. |

Can I Send a Resume Instead of an Application? |
| We accept resumes along with your completed application if you would like to provide additional information. However, we still require a fully completed application to be submitted in order to be officially considered for a position. |

What is the Next Step after I Submit my Application Materials? |
The City has a Civil Service system which requires that candidates be tested in order to be considered for employment. In some instances, for example, candidates are required to sit for a written test, and in others, candidates are scored based on materials submitted as part of the supplemental application process. If an application is not accepted you will be notified. This will happen if incomplete applications are sent or if minimum qualifications are not met. Otherwise, applicants meeting the stated minimum qualifications for the position will be notified of the date, time and location of the examination, if applicable. |

Do You Provide Special Testing for Applicants with Disabilities? |

How Do I Find Out My Test or Application Results? |
All candidates receive notification of their results by mail indicating whether they passed or failed the test. Those passing will be advised of their score and rank.
The top three (3) ranks on the eligible list are certified to the appointing authority. In cases where the scores of the fourth (4th) and fifth (5th) ranks are within five (5) points of the score of the highest rank then these individuals will also be certified for consideration.
Please note that each ranking may contain multiple candidates within each rank. |

How Long Will I be Considered for the Position? |
