- When attaching a resume in an e-mail or the online application, please ensure it is a Microsoft Word or text document.
- Downloading an Application requires Adobe Acrobat.
Some additional important information:
- Applications must be completed thoroughly in order to be considered.
- Applications found to contain fraudulent information will disqualify the applicant
for employment.
- Applicants requesting Veteran’s Preference must include a DD214 form with a completed Application.
- Applications are only accepted for open/posted positions.
It is the applicant’s responsibility to keep their application up to date. Human Resources does not accept telephone or e-mail updates to information on file.
- The Application process includes a Position Submittal/Employment Application Update form which must be completed along with the Application. This allows applicants to specify position(s) they are interested in (and/or update pertinent information on file once they’ve submitted an Application). If applicants wish to be considered for additional positions after initially submitting an Application, they must complete an additional Position Submittal/Employment Application form and submit to Human Resources. NOTE: Resumes and Applications received without a specific position identified will not be processed. Human Resources does not accept telephone or e-mail requests from applicants asking to be considered for open positions.
- Based on essential functions of certain jobs, pre-employment skill testing may be conducted, as applicable.
- Human Resources screens Applications and resumes for minimum qualifications (including testing scores). Those that meet minimum qualifications are forwarded to hiring divisions for review. Charlotte County reserves the right to pursue only those candidates it deems qualified for posted openings.
- Offers of employment are conditional upon successful completion of a pre-employment physical, drug test and background investigation (as appropriate to the position applied for).
- If hired for a position requiring driving, individuals must possess and maintain a valid Florida Driver’s License. If an applicant holds an out-of-state license, a Florida license will be required post-hire, based on timelines in the Florida Statute.
- Human Resources can only accept one submittal form for each posted position; any additional submittals for the same position can not be accepted. If employment or education information on an application has changed, applicants must submit an updated application which can be found on our website or at the Human Resources office.
