You are strongly encouraged to use the Online application process if you have access to the Internet. This is a more expedient and efficient way to apply, as it is very user friendly and saves your information so that you do not have to complete it again in the future should you be applying for multiple jobs or at multiple times.
Applicants will need to remember their user id and password. You will be able to change contact information, apply for other positions using past applications, and visit "My Careers" page.
You must complete all information for the application in one sitting. You cannot save it and add more information at a later time.
If you do not complete the final submission process (clicking the Submit button on the last page) your information will not be saved. Once your application has been submitted, you will be unable to see it, retrieve it or change it, unless you are applying for another position.
Applicants must click on the yellow "Submit" button for their application to be received by our on-line system. Unless you have completed the final submission step (clicked on the yellow "Submit" button on the last page), you have NOT applied for a position.
You may apply for each position only once.
If you do not have access to the Internet, you can access the Internet to apply on line free of charge at the Catawba County Personnel Department, located on the 2nd floor of the Government Center at 100-A Southwest Blvd. in Newton, NC 28658, as well as all of our County Library sites and the Employment Security Commission.
For those applicants who do not have access to the Internet, we will continue to accept paper applications for the time being. Paper applications can be mailed to Catawba County Personnel, P. O. Box 389, Newton, NC 28658-0389 or faxed to 828-465-8472. Applications sent via email will not be accepted.
Our available jobs will continue to be posted here on our website (www.catawbacountync.gov), the Personnel Department at the County Government Center in Newton, the Employment Security Commission, the County libraries and other County facilities.
In order to apply with us, a Catawba County application must be completed. We will not accept other application formats. (ie: state applications, other county applications, etc.) Although cover letters and resumes are encouraged as physical and scanned attachments, we do not accept resumes in lieu of the Catawba County application. This applies to both the online and the paper application process as well.
Note that Catawba County does not accept applications for positions that are not currently available. In addition, we do not keep applications on file to be used at a later date. Applicants must submit a separate application for each job for which they would like to be considered.
Applicants should read the Job Posting completely to learn of the job responsibilities, requirements and salary information.
It is imperative for you to complete all sections of your application thoroughly and accurately. Applications containing incomplete and/or inaccurate information will be disqualified.
Be sure to let us know how you prefer to be contacted. Be sure to provide up to date contact information, including email address if you have one.
Be sure to update your contact information should your address, phone number, email address, etc. change. You will also want to update your education and experience information as it changes.
Know that if an email address is listed on your contact information, which is our preference for those persons that have email addresses, you will receive confirmation via email of receipt of your application. Applicants who do not list their email address will not receive this confirmation.
All applicants who apply, but are not chosen will receive written notification via email or letter mailed. This notification will typically occur after the position has been filled.
You must meet the stated deadline to be eligible for consideration for any position. This means the application must be completed by 11:59 pm on the deadline date. If you turn in an application after the deadline, it will not be considered. (Note that some positions do not have closing deadlines).
