PLEASE READ BEFORE COMPLETING APPLICATION
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Applicants must complete an application and applicant questionnaire (when applicable) for each position. Please follow the instructions shown on the application and applicant questionnaire. All applications must be completed in full. Because the initial screening is based strictly on the completed application, it is very important to include all information requested. The application should include not only paid work experience, but all other experience which may apply to the job, i.e. volunteer experience, licenses, relevant classes you have taken, and professional training. If you need more space, you may attach additional sheets.
A RESUME MAY BE ATTACHED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BUT DOES NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF COMPLETING THE APPLICATION AND APPLICANT QUESTIONNAIRE.
JOB REQUIREMENTS
Please note the education and/or experience requirements listed in the Job Vacancy Announcement and job description. These are minimum standards which all applicants must meet in order to be considered for employment. All employees are required to provide proof of identity and authorization of employability.
EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION REVIEW AND HIRING PROCESS
A completed
Athens-Clarke
County employment application should be received in the Human Resources Office by the established closing date as stated on the job vacancy announcement. Every application received by the established closing date is reviewed for minimum qualifications and competitiveness by the Employment Services Division staff.
Should you meet the minimum requirements for the position, your name will be placed on a register of eligible candidates and forwarded to the appropriate department for consideration. This does not guarantee an interview for the position.
INTERVIEWS
1. Hiring Departments hold oral interviews with selected applicants who are referred by the Employment Services Division. The Hiring Department notifies the persons selected for oral interviews by telephone or letter when interviews are to be scheduled. You will be contacted only if you are selected for an oral interview.
2. After the oral interviews, the Hiring Department makes a selection of the most suitable candidate and returns all applications to the Human Resources Department.
3. The Human Resources Department contacts the selected candidate for submission to a drug test. The candidate must successfully complete the drug test before final employment is offered. After the results of the drug test are obtained, the Hiring Department contacts the applicant and offers the position. All candidates who are interviewed, but not selected, are informed of the decision.
NOTE: Applications and all materials (resumes, letters of reference, etc.) submitted with application become property of Athens-Clarke County and cannot be returned. The information you have provided on the application may be subject to public disclosure under the Georgia Open Records Act.
