Step One: Job Announcement

New job announcements are posted on the county's Vacancies page, which is updated when positions become available. Internal or external job announcements are required to be advertised for a minimum of 5 calendar days. Check each announcement for the closing date. Resumes must be submitted prior to midnight on the closing date.

Step Two:  Applying for the Job Announcement

Resumes will only be accepted online with your application when applying. When applying for the position, you may wish to gather all your work history so you can complete the process.

On the first visit, applicants create an account with a User ID and PIN. When applying for the first time, you will go to the Vacancies button below and click "Sign In" in the upper right corner of the page. Scroll down to the bottom, click on "Create New Account", and follow the instructions/prompt. (Please review all steps to become familiar with our process before applying)

Step Three: Review Process

After the job announcement has closed, applications and resumes are reviewed either by analysts in the Department of Human Resources or by the hiring department. These are reviewed against the job's qualifications and requirements—based on the information in the job announcement—to find the applicants that are the closest match.

To remain in consideration for the job, applicants must clearly demonstrate that they meet:

• all the Minimum Qualifications
• all the Special Requirements
• many of the Preferred Qualifications

Step 6: Offer of Employment

An offer of employment is made to the applicant who was determined to be the best match for the position. All interviewed applicants who did not get a job offer are notified—usually by letter—of the outcome of the selection process.

Step 7: Background Check

Prior to starting work, a background and reference check will be conducted on all potential hires. Some positions, however, will require additional background checks to include:

• criminal background record (initiated by fingerprinting)
• driving record
• credit history (for financial positions)
• education
• professional licenses
