considered for any open position.

a separate application for each position for which

position for which you wish to apply. Photocopies of an application

Q: Do I need to meet all the requirements
listed on the job announcement to qualify?
A: Yes, you must meet all of the “minimum job requirements”
to be considered for a position.
It is important to read the job announcement carefully for specific

or attached to the application, i.e., printout of driving record,
typing certificate, POST certificate or other education and/or training
to meet minimum requirements.

If you submit a faxed application, you must also
submit the original application within one week

Q: May I leave a copy of my resume
on file for future job openings?
A: Due to the volume of inquiries we receive, we cannot keep resumes
on file, and we can only accept applications for positions which
are currently open.

about a decision?
A: After the position closing date, applications
are reviewed and screened based on qualifications.
Candidates are notified by written response
within three weeks of receipt on the status of their
application.
Q: Do I need to take a test?
A: Most of our positions at Douglas County require
either a performance test, written test and/or oral
examination.

all applicants will be notified by written response.
