• The Transit District accepts completed District applications only for positions that are currently open.
• A separate application must be completed FOR EACH POSITION FOR WHICH YOU ARE APPLYING.
• You may attach a resume to your application, but the application must be completed in full (do not say "see resume" on application). An incomplete application form is cause for rejection.
• Some positions require a SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE. Please check the job announcement closely to see if one is required for the position for which you are applying.
• Final Filing Date: The job announcement states the final filing date for each position. To be considered, your completed application form must be received in our office by 5:00 p.m. or postmarked on the final filing date, unless stated otherwise on the job announcement.
• It is the policy of the Transit District to maintain a fair and equitable system in its hiring procedures. Qualified candidates may be invited to written, practical, oral and/or other tests as deemed appropriate by the Human Resources Manager. See the "Application Procedure" portion of the job announcement.
• As soon as possible after the final filing date, you will be notified by mail regarding the status of your application.
• All forms turned in to the Human Resources Department become the property of the Transit District--copies are not available.

DRIVING RECORD

If the job recruitment flyer states that a motor vehicle record is required, please note the following:

• The H6 motor vehicle record submitted to the Human Resources Department must be the original from the Department of Motor Vehicles. The record can be obtained from any DMV office.
• The motor vehicle record must be dated during the recruitment period of the position to which you are applying and must be submitted with the completed application. Prior to appointment to the position, you will be required to obtain and provide the District another H6 motor vehicle driving record which is current within 30 days of your date of hire.
• Applications received without the original driving record will not be considered.

Safe driving criteria are used to determine if an applicant will be considered for further processing. The violations which will disqualify an applicant include, but are not limited to, the following:

• any conviction for hit and run or reckless driving
• any conviction involving drugs or alcohol
• a current DMV printout reflecting, within the past five years, poor judgment or irresponsibility, more than one moving violation, or responsibility for more than one vehicle accident
