Job Descriptions

In accordance with Policies and Procedures, Section 3.4, job descriptions should be reviewed periodically by department personnel, including the position incumbent, the position supervisor, and the appropriate department management staff. Job descriptions are essential to accurately detail and communicate the specific tasks, duties, and responsibilities expected of each position. Job descriptions also include detailed information on other aspects of the position, such as the work environment, physical requirements, other position specific requirements such as certifications/licenses, and any job-related testing requirements, such as hearing or tuberculosis testing.

I’ve been working for the County for a long time. Why do I have to fill out another application? 

Applications are required of each person applying for a position. It is likely that you may have acquired additional skills, experience, and education since you originally applied that should be considered. In addition, completing an online application ensures your qualifications and personal information will be documented and ensures accurate applicant tracking information for every position.
