Online Job Application Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why does SCOE use an online application?

We value customer service, speed in processing the application, and selection of the most qualified candidates. Online technology permits SCOE to organize applicant data in a standardized format, quickly schedule examinations, and communicate with our candidates more efficiently.

Is there any alternative to completing this form online?

Yes, if you are unable to apply directly online, you may download a PDF version of our job application and mail it, hand deliver it, or fax it to our office. You may also call (916) 228-2332 to request an application.

What if I don't have an e-mail address?

Registration requires a valid email address that you can check for login information. Free e-mail accounts are available from many sites, including mail.yahoo.com and gmail.com.

How much time does it take to complete this form?

It takes approximately 20 minutes if you have all the required information at hand. Be prepared to answer questions about your education, your work experience, and your references (including phone numbers and dates).

Can I leave the form in the middle and come back to it?

Yes. The "Save and Continue" button saves the information you enter. Information will be lost if the browser window is closed or the browser is quit before the information on the page is submitted via the "Save and Continue" button.

What happens if I close or quit my browser?

If you quit or close your browser without submitting the information via the "Save and Continue" button, information on the current page will be lost and you will need to enter it again.

If I want to apply for several jobs, do I need to file more than one application?

Yes. Your application is tied to a specific position. If you are applying for multiple positions, you will need to complete a separate application for each position. Make sure the application you are completing is listed under the correct job description and that the title at the top of the form is the one for which you intend to apply.

How do I know my application was received? Will I be contacted about my application?

Upon submitting all the information required for your application, you will receive an on-screen "Thank You" message indicating your application was successfully received. You should also receive an automated confirmation e-mail message. You will not receive any further communication until the selection process begins.

How do I update my information?

You may update your profile by logging in as a returning user. Once you are logged in, you may make changes and save your updated information.

Do you have any helpful tips for me?

Yes. You may copy and paste any existing information you have from other documents (such as word processing documents, online resumes, etc.) into the form fields of this online job application. This may save you the time of retyping information, particularly if you are applying for several positions and wish to reuse some of the same information for each application.

Who may I contact if I am having problems with the online application system?

You may contact our Personnel Department: scoejobs@scoe.net or (916) 228-2332.
