2. What happens after I apply for a job?

Submitted applications and responses to supplemental questions are reviewed for completeness and to determine if an applicant meets the minimum qualifications for the position. Applicants who do not meet the minimum requirements are automatically "screened out" and do not advance to the next step in the evaluation process.
Those applicants that meet the minimum qualifications are then reviewed to determine if they possess the preferred skills necessary to perform the functions of the position. Applicants who possess the preferred skills are forwarded to the Hiring Manager who schedules and conducts selection interview(s) and determines if an offer will be extended to any of the candidates. If the position requires testing, you will be contacted by Human Resources to schedule a test date.
