It’s been a while since I sent in my resume. Do you still have it? |
|
|
We maintain all resumes/applications for at least one full year. Therefore, if your resume/application was submitted within that time frame and you received an acknowledgment letter from us, you are currently in our files. There is no need to resubmit another resume/application until the one year period has passed. If your employment information has changed significantly during this time period, i.e. new job, skill/experience or address, you should send an updated resume/application. |

|
When and how will you contact me about an interview? |
|
|
Your resume/application is important to us. Due to the volume of resumes/applications received, we are unable to personally contact everyone who sends in a resume. When we have an opening in the district, all appropriate resumes/applications are sent to the administrator at the location that has a vacancy for their review. Upon review, the administrator determines who will be called in for an interview. For interviews, we only contact those individuals whose background and skills most closely match the position requirements. |

When we have an opening in the district, all appropriate resumes/applications are sent to the administrator at the location that has a vacancy for their review.

If I am called in for an interview, how will I be notified if I’ve got the job? |
|
|
|
After you have interviewed for a position, if you are not offered the position, you will receive a letter from the district indicating that you have not been chosen for the position which you interviewed for. If a job offer is to be made, you will be verbally notified by the hiring administrator or the Office of Human Resources. Your resume/application will be kept on file in the district for at least one year in case any other positions for which you qualify become available. |
