Applicant Instructions for the Apply Online Feature:

• For those applicants who do not have a profile, please click on the Log In tab above to create an online profile in order to upload your resume, including your experience, skills, education and objective.

• An Apply Online button will display on those positions for which the candidates can apply online. Be sure to keep your candidate contact information current.

• When applying for a particular job, your stored resume will populate onto the screen, and you can make any edits as needed.

• You will then be prompted to enter your cover letter. After submitting your resume and cover letter, you will receive an e-mail acknowledgement that your resume has been received along with the posting contents of the job you applied for.

• The application times out after 30 minutes of inactivity. Since text entry is not registered by the system as activity, it is suggested that you create your resume and cover letter in word processing software and then cut and paste the information into the application.

Please note that for those choosing not to apply online for these positions, you will continue to have the option of mailing your resume and cover letter to the agency. These alternate mailing instructions will also be included in the How to Apply section.

We hope that you find the apply-online functionality efficient and helpful, and we welcome your comments at the Feedback link below.
