You will affirm your possession of the required credential and enter your credential number into a text box. You will be asked to upload a resume or complete the work history section. This step is required by law, but the resume submitted will not be assessed as part of the screening process. Applicants that interview will provide a final resume for review at that time. To apply: Click on "Apply for Job" to start the application process. Follow the steps outlined in the application process to submit your application. Submitted information will be evaluated and qualified applicants will be invited to participate in the next step of the selection process. You will be asked about your license in the application process, and there will be a field for you to enter your license number. Please enter it as it appears on the DSPS website as this is how we will verify your license. This is the License # that ends in "-30".

Full-Time work is any position with an expectation of 40 hours per week. Part-Time is anything less than 40 hours a week, some positions might be 90%, 80%, 60% et cetera. You would be notified of the percentage when offered an interview and would be able to choose whether to interview based on that information. You will not be able to change your Full-Time/Part-Time selection after you apply without withdrawing and reapplying, so we encourage you to select your options based on what you might be interested in and would like to be contacted about. If you do withdraw to change your FT/PT selection, there will be a window where you may miss opportunities to be certified.
