When will I be called for an interview? Our process is as follows: a) Personnel receives the application by mail or in person. b) Personnel reviews the application to determine if the applicant meets the posted requirements. c) Qualification status is logged into computer. After one week, the applicant may contact Personnel and find out their status. d) Qualified applications are sent to hiring department for further review e) Hiring department selects applicants and contacts only those candidates who are the closest fit for the job for an interview. f) A qualified status from Personnel does not guarantee an interview. It takes approximately one week for the department to receive the qualified application for review.
How do I know if I qualified? After one week , an applicant may contact Personnel and find out their status.
If I am qualified, why have I not been called? Will I receive a letter? The hiring department contacts only those individuals they determine most fit their needs. Due to the large amount of applications received, it is not cost effective for the City to mail out notification letters.
I had an interview and I haven't heard anything. Is the job still open, and am I being considered? If you have had an interview and you have not heard anything, you may contact the hiring department directly to determine status.
Why was I disqualified? I know I am qualified! Please contact the Personnel Department. The application will be reviewed again on the spot and supplemental information may be requested or an explanation why the applicant was disqualified will be provided.
Can I contact the hiring department directly? No. Because of the large number of applications received, the hiring department will contact the individuals they want to interview.
Will you take experience in lieu of a degree? No. If the posting states a degree is required, experience will not be substituted for the degree requirement.
I had an interview and the department says I am going to be hired. What happens now? a) The department prepares new-hire paperwork. b) Personnel reviews paperwork for completeness. c) Paperwork is circulated for approval. d) Personnel will contact you for pre-employment physical. Level One - 2 to 3 days; Level Two - 1 to 2 weeks (because it requires a back x-ray); Level Three - approximately one month (because it requires additional background, psych & polygraph along with physical). e) Upon passing the pre-employment physical, the department will call you for a start date.
