1. How and when can I update my application?

Changes can be made to your application at anytime before it is submitted. Once you submit an application for a particular position, you cannot go back and make changes to the submitted application. If you make changes and submit another application before the position closes, we will only consider your most recent application. You may also make changes before submitting your application for any new positions. If you have any difficulty submitting an updated application before the position closes, please contact the Human Resources Office at 757-890-3687. Our normal business hours are 8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m.

2. What if I am not ready to fill out the application at this time?

No application is submitted until you click on the accept button, which is Step 4: Confirm and Submit. If at any time you do not want to complete your application, save your work, then logout.

3. Can I submit a paper application or resume?

Paper applications and resumes will not be accepted. Everyone who applies for a position is required to create an online application, through the Government Jobs website.

4. I missed the deadline, can I still apply?

As with any position, once a closing date has passed, no application will be accepted or considered. You may also want to complete a Job Vacancy Notification Card to automatically be notified when a position you are interested in becomes available. Please continue to apply for new jobs as they become available and visit the Employment Opportunities website.

5. Can I apply for more than 1 job at a time?

Yes, once you have created and saved your online application, you can apply for multiple positions that are currently open.

6. Where can I find information about employment with York County Schools?

York County Schools are a separate entity, information and employment opportunities are posted on the York County School Division website.

7. How do I print my application?

After you have submitted your application, you will see the Click Here button for a printable version of the application you just submitted.

8. What if I want to submit a resume?

You may either attach or cut and paste a resume into your application. Resume attachments must be in the following formats: plain text (.txt file extension), rich text (.rtf file extension), PDF (.pdf file extension), or Microsoft Work (.doc extension). Each attachment size is limited to 1 MB each. Please note, submitting a resume does not substitute for completing the application form.

9. How do I save my application?

You must select the save button to retain the information you have entered. If you close your browser prior to selecting save, you will lose any information you entered after the last time you selected save. If at any time you need to exit out of the application form, select the save button at the bottom of the form. You can return to your application later by logging into your account with your username and password.

10. Will I automatically be considered for other positions if I previously submitted an application?

A separate application is required for each position so you must apply for each job separately to be considered. To ensure you will be considered for other positions, watch our employment web site or complete a Job Vacancy Notification Card.

11. Who will see my application when I apply online?

All information is on a secure web server. Only the Human Resources Department and other County department users authorized to review specific job openings will have access. The County of York does not share its database with other companies or localities.
