Guidelines
-
The job application form is the first impression
the employer will have of you. Neatness, accuracy, and completeness
are critical.
-
The city can only evaluate your attributes according to the information
provided.
-
An incomplete application is almost a guarantee
that the applicant will not be considered for further steps in
the selection process.
-
Falsification of information will result in immediate
rejection.
Processing Application Document
When the completed application form is received in the Department
of Human Resources, the application will be recorded in the computer
system, assigned to an "inactive status". The application
computer record indicates the position(s) for which the candidate
requested consideration.
It is , therefore, very important for an applicant to be as specific
and detailed as possible when completing the application since this
is the only source of information the Department has to evaluate an
individual's attributes. Candidates selected for a selection process
will be evaluated according to their knowledge, skills and abilities
relating to the specific position.
Each candidate will receive notification from the Department of Human
Resources regarding a) status report, b) test schedule, c) assessment
program, and d) medical screening as may be assigned. The time frame
involved in the application review and selection process varies with
each position.
If you are chosen for a position, your employment status will be
contingent upon successful completion of a drug/alcohol test, along
with any other medical screening applicable to the job requirement.
Upon satisfactory completion of the medical screening, the candidate
will be assigned a date/time/place to report for a "new
employee orientation" session, which will be conducted by the
Department of Human Resources prior to the start date.
