A resume is optional and may be submitted in addition to the completed application packet. Other documents, such as transcripts or certificates are also optional.
You may submit attachments by using the My Career Tools box, My Attachments and Cover Letters - Add Attachments page. If necessary, Employment will request hard copies of any documents not submitted on-line.
If you already have a hard copy application on file, it will be necessary for you to create a new online application within the new system in order to apply for another position. Any job vacancies posted after September 8, 2009 will require an on-line application.
Your Careers page will be kept active for a period of one year. If no activity occurs within one years’ time, your Careers page will become inactive and will be purged from our system. If this happens, you will need to register as a new applicant to create a new profile within the system.
Typically, a large number of qualified applicants apply for each job vacancy. In some instances, only top candidates out of a pool of applicants are chosen for interviews or testing. You may ask to be reconsidered for any future openings by contacting the Employment Office.
All offers of employment are contingent upon an applicant’s references, criminal and driving record, passing a post-offer physical (based on the job description and any physical requirements that may exist) and passing a drug screen or any other applicable tests, including vision tests. We do not contact current employers and will not contact references without permission from the applicant.
All application packets become property of City Utilities and copies of your application cannot be made or returned to the applicant. You can access previously submitted application information by logging into your account and viewing the My Applications scroll area on the My Career Tools page with a status of Applied.
