What Career Opportunities Exist?
All open positions are posted on the job opportunities page, so check the page regularly. You may also complete a job interest card to receive e-mail notifications about new jobs you may be interested in.
Can I apply for a position at any time?
The Town of Queen Creek only accepts applications for open positions that have been announced and for which recruitment is active. General applications are not accepted to keep on file. However, prospective applicants can create an online profile in preparation for any future job openings.
How will I know what jobs I'm qualified for?
The job announcement contains a brief job description, statement of minimum training and experience qualifications, and a description of any special qualifications that may be required, e.g., licenses, certifications.
How will I know when to apply?
When a position becomes available for open recruitment, the Town of Queen Creek issues a job announcement for the position. You can fill out a job interest card or continue to check the website for available positions on a regular basis. Only applications for posted positions are accepted. Opening and closing dates appear on every job announcement. Be certain your application is submitted by the designated closing time and closing date listed on the job posting.
If I want to apply for more than one job, do I have to submit more than one application?
Yes. You must submit a separate job application for each job you'd like to be considered for.
Can I bring in a paper application?
No. All applications must be submitted online.
What should I do if my address or phone number change?
Once you have created an online profile, you can log in to your account and edit your profile. It is important to keep your contact information current. If we are unable to contact you because you have moved or changed your phone number, your name will be withdrawn from further consideration.
How can I update my application materials?
Once you have created an online profile, you can log in to your account and edit your profile.
If I've previously completed an application, will I automatically be considered for other positions?
No, you must log in to your account and submit a separate application for all positions you wish to be considered for. Your application will not be automatically submitted as other positions become available.
How is it determined if I qualify for a position?
The Human Resources Representative assigned to the recruitment reviews the application submitted to determine if you meet the minimum qualifications and special requirements as stated on the job announcement. If you do, your application will be submitted to the hiring authority for consideration. Please note that meeting minimum qualifications does not guarantee you will be invited for an interview.
What happens after I submit my application?
You will receive electronic notification that your application has been received. You can login to your GovernmentJobs.com account to review the status of your application.
What is an eligibility list?
An eligibility list is established after a recruitment has been conducted and contains those applicants who meet the minimum qualifications for a specific position. Usually, eligibility lists expire one year from the date the position closes; however, the Human Resources Department reserves the right to extend the life of an eligibility list or expire the list early in accordance with Town policy.
What are the steps or stages of the selection process?
The steps of the selection process vary depending upon the position. For example, a single round of oral interviews may be all that is required for a particular position. On the other hand, applicants may be required to perform a skills-based assessment related to the position, an oral board presentation, a practical exercise, or multiple rounds of interviews for others.
How will I receive my notifications?
You will receive notifications via email. When creating an online account, you must enter your email address and phone number. Make sure the email address and phone number you enter is accurate and current.
What if I am not selected for an interview?
If you are not selected for an interview but meet minimum qualifications, your name will remain on an eligibility list for consideration for other vacancies that occur until the list expires. If you are not hired during the eligibility period, you must wait for another recruitment and reapply.
What if I am interviewed but don't receive a job offer?
If you are interviewed, your name will remain on an eligibility list for consideration for other vacancies that occur until the list expires. If you are not hired during the eligibility period, you must wait for another recruitment and reapply.
What if I have scheduled an interview, and I am unable to attend?
Please contact the Human Resources Representative that scheduled your interview to cancel.
