Employment Applications are accepted for OPEN POSITIONS ONLY, and must be filled out completely. Resumes are not accepted in lieu of an application. Resumes may be submitted with the application as supplemental information. Applications indicating “See Resume” for any response on the application will be considered incomplete and not processed. Applications will remain on file for a period of 6 months from the date an application is received. Once an application becomes inactive, a new application must be completed.
Once an application is received, it will be screened by the Human Resources Department to ensure that the applicant meets the minimum requirements and qualifications for the position. Preference in appointment will be given to eligible veterans and spouses. Applicants whose education (if applicable), work experience, skills and training most closely match the job description qualifications may be called in for testing, interviewing and other pre-selection processing.
Selected candidates are required to undergo a background check, reference check, criminal history check (FDLE if applicable), a pre-employment drug screening and a pre-employment physical (if necessitated by the position).
