Frequently Asked Questions
How does the County advertise when there is an opening?
Job openings are listed here on the County website, on a bulletin board outside the Personnel Office, and are handed out to each County Department. Openings are also advertised at least once, in the designated County newspaper. Currently that newspaper is the "Star-Herald".
Where can I get a County application?
Applications are available in the Personnel Office and also available for downloading from this Website.
What information do I need to provide in order to be considered for employment?
The applicant needs to give the Personnel Office a completed, hand signed application, a cover letter listing qualifications and requesting to be considered for the opening, plus an up-to-date resume. This information may be mailed or dropped off, faxes and e-mails will not be accepted.
What and when will I hear back about my application?
Your completed application will be screened by the Personnel Office, and if acceptable will be sent to the department with the opening for selection of candidates. If you are a successful candidate, you will be contacted by phone, and an interview time and date will be set. Unsuccessful interviewees, will receive a letter of notification. Applicants who fail to come to scheduled interviews will not receive letters, as it will be implied that they are no longer interested in the postion. This entire process will be completed as timely as possible, and usually occurs about a week after the closing date for applications.
