EMPLOYMENT INFORMATION

THE SELECTION PROCESS

Applicants will be assessed on the application materials submitted. This information will be carefully evaluated. Resumes are an important screening tool. Applications that are not accompanied by resumes may be more difficult to assess. Do not substitute any part of the application form with the words "SEE RESUME."

Applicants considered to be the most qualified will be invited to continue in the selection process. The selection process may consist of any combination of a written examination, performance test and/or an oral board interview.

To ensure timely notification from the Personnel Department, it is the applicant's responsibility to maintain current contact information in the Personal Profile section of each employment application.

Candidates successful in all phases of the testing process are placed on an eligible list based on test scores. Eligible lists are used to fill existing and future vacancies for a period of one year. Eligible lists may be extended or abolished sooner based on the needs of the City. Placement on the list does not guarantee employment.

The Personnel Department reserves the right to revise the selection process to best meet the needs of the City.

Reapplication Process: A disqualification from one recruitment does not restrict an applicant's ability to re-apply in future recruitments.

Applicants are responsible for their own travel expenses.
