What information will I need to complete the application?
You will need to know your work history including: name of employers, past employment dates, reason for leaving, telephone numbers, education history and references including names, phone numbers and relationship.
How far back into my work history should I go?
You should provide as much detail about your work history as possible so we are better able to determine your qualifications for the position.

Your application will be reviewed as quickly as possible. Due to the volume of applications received, we are only able to contact those candidates we feel meet our qualifications.
How will I be contacted if I am considered? What are the steps in the hiring process?
If we determine that you meet the qualifications of a current opening, Human Resources will contact you by telephone to schedule a time to discuss your background, experience and interest and the current opening. After the initial conversation, if you are selected to proceed in the process, we will schedule you for interviews with other individuals related to this position. Our goal is to make the interview process as convenient and as informative for you as possible. (Reference checks, drug screens and background checks will be conducted upon offer of employment.)
Why wasn’t I considered or called for an interview for the position I applied to?
There could be multiple reasons why you were not considered for the position: your desired shift and FTE may not match what the position calls for, you may not meet the requirements of the position or internal applicants are being considered to fill this position. If we do not have a current opening matching your qualifications, we will retain your resume/application according to state guidelines.
What should I keep in mind when preparing for an interview?
Be prepared to discuss your strengths, developmental needs, accomplishments, goals and expectations. At the conclusion of each interview, ask for a business card so you can write a thank-you note. Use the thank-you note to confirm your interest in the organization and in the position, reiterating points that were discussed during the interview.
