WHERE TO START?
We know that finding a job can sometimes be a difficult thing to do. We want to help you not only get a job but establish a great career.
STEP 1:
Finding the Right Position
- To find out what jobs are open, refer to the “Job Opportunities” page.
- Read the job announcement, position responsibilities, and qualifications thoroughly. Check the minimum requirements for the job to see if you qualify.
- Evaluate your work history, education, and training to determine if you meet the qualifications and can successfully perform the duties through related experience, training, or transferrable skills.
- You may want to write down key points related to your qualifications and what information you intend to include on your application which will make it easier for you to complete the online process.
- Please fully complete each section of the online form. You will have the opportunity to upload a cover letter, resume, and other supporting documents; however, your application will be rejected if you substitute a resume for the experience section of the application form.
HOW TO APPLY
STEP 2:
Completing the Application Materials
- Complete the application and supplemental questionnaire (if applicable). Remember to include all the important information about your experience for each position.
- If you are not using our online application process (suggested) but submitting a hard copy, please type or print in ink neatly and sign & date your application.
- Attach any required documents (transcripts, diplomas, certificates, licenses, supplemental questionnaire responses).
- Make a copy of all application materials for your records.
STEP 3:
Submitting Your Application
- We prefer you use our automated application system, but you may mail, hand-deliver or fax your application materials to Human Resources. The fax number is 614-525-2230.
