Employment Process

Please submit a separate application for each position. Photocopies of the application may be submitted with current date, position desired and an original signature. However, you are responsible for making sure the information on your photocopied application is current.

The Human Resources Department reviews and refers completed applications to the Town Departments. The department with the open position decides whom to interview and makes the selection decision from the applications referred. Depending on the position, the hiring process can take anywhere from 2 weeks to several months. Every candidate that has applied for an available position with the Town will be notified by letter or postcard regarding the status of their application.
