In reviewing application materials, Human Resources cannot consider any outside information. If you do not write down what you do, Human Resources cannot consider your work experience. Explain what you do and use more pages if needed for the Application, write a long cover letter describing what you do, or have a detailed resume. You should also describe what you do during an interview so that your experience is highlighted and fully considered.

If you want to be considered for the Position (or given credit for a Preferred Qualification) you must explain how you meet the requirement. For example, if the Disqualifying Question is “Do you have data entry experience?” somewhere in your application, cover letter or resume you should affirmatively state how you meet the data entry experience requirement. “Use Excel” is not sufficient “Work on the AS 400” is not sufficient.

Candidates must produce copies of the required documents listed on the Notice of Job Opportunity by the conclusion of all of the interviews for the Position. Candidates who fail to timely produce the required documents will not be further considered for the Position.

Candidates who fail to appear for the interview within 15 minutes of the scheduled interview time will not be interviewed or further considered for the Position.

Application materials are reviewed and validated to determine if you meet the Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications, if applicable, for the Position.
