How to Apply:

Application Materials -
Application Packets are accepted for open positions only. When there are no positions open, Douglas County will not accept or hold applications on file for future positions. (Exception: Social Services - click on Merit System for more information).

We design special application packets that ask you to provide information that is specific to the opening you are applying for. This information is scored and used to rate candidates. Because the application packets are all different, you must submit the specific application packets for each job title.

Resumes will not be accepted instead of applications. We do not accept resumes unless they are sent in along with the application. Please do not send or e-mail resumes separately.
