If applying in person, the Employment Coordinator will conduct a pre-screening interview on-site. The employment Coordinator will then forward the application, along with the pre-screen interview comments, to the department director for their review. If the department director is interested in interviewing the candidate, they will contact them and set up an interview. If the application is received by mail or fax, the Employment Coordinator will send the application on to the appropriate director for their review.
Q.What are some common
mistakes candidates make when applying for jobs with your facility?
It is important to provide complete information on resume and/or application for employment. Our facility needs complete dates of employment, not just month and year. We enter all applicants into a tracking system and our system requires us to enter complete dates. We also need phone numbers that are complete with area code so that we can contact qualified applicants for an interview.
