 Tips for Completing the County Employment Application Form

  • Fill out the application completely.
  • It is important to indicate the job title of the position you are applying for on your application. Failure to do so may cause a delay in processing your application.
  • List any education you have including any special certificate or licenses. Be specific about past work experience. In the work experience section, list the names and addresses of past employers, dates of employment, the number of hours per week worked, titles of the jobs held, duties of each job and the reason for leaving. You may attach a resume but a resume will not be accepted as a substitute for completing this section.

 Supplemental Application Form

Frequently, supplemental application information is required. Be sure to complete the supplemental application form and submit with the County application form. Your application and responses to supplemental questions provide us with additional information about your experience and background related to the position and will be used in the selection process. A resume will not be accepted as a substitute for your responses. Failure to complete the supplemental application form may cause a delay in processing your application. Incomplete applications may be rejected.

Be concise and specific with your responses to the supplemental questions. Neatness, clarity of expression, and ability to follow instructions will be considered in the evaluation process.
