    SELECTION PROCESS

    1. Submit a completed City of Concord application and the required supplemental question responses online at www.cityofconcord.org . Only application materials submitted online during the filing period will be accepted.
    2. All qualified applications and supplemental responses will be competitively evaluated, and those candidates demonstrating the strongest qualifications for the position will be invited to a panel interview. If you are selected to participate in the panel interview and are unavailable, we regret that we will not be able to reschedule you.
    3. Candidates that pass the panel interview will be placed on the hiring list, based on rank, for further consideration to fill the current regular vacancy, as well as others occurring over the next 12 months.

    Conviction History and Background Investigation:
    If you receive a conditional job offer, you will be fingerprinted, and your fingerprints will be sent to the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The resulting report of your conviction history (if any) will be used to determine whether the nature of your conviction conflicts with the specific duties and responsibilities of the job for which you have received a conditional job offer. If a conflict exists, you will be asked to present any evidence of rehabilitation that may mitigate the conflict, except when federal or state regulations bar employment in specific circumstances. Having a conviction history does not automatically preclude you from a job with the City of Concord. Appointments to this position are also subject to a polygraph and background investigation coordinated by the Concord Police Department. The following list describes some areas that are covered in the investigation.

    •Your relatives, references, and acquaintances are asked to comment on your suitability for the position.
    •The information supplied regarding your educational history is examined and verified.
    •You must list a history of your residences.
    •Your work history and experience are examined with regard to your dependability, relationships with fellow workers, trustworthiness, and general job performance.
    •Military service records are subject to verification.
    •The background investigation considers your management of personal finances (however, being in debt does not automatically disqualify you).
    •Your criminal, driving, and insurance records are evaluated. Felony convictions will be grounds for disqualification from the selection process.
    •If you have a history of recent or prolonged use of illegal controlled substances (i.e., Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Marijuana, etc.), you may be dismissed from the process.

    Deliberate misstatements or omissions can and often will result in your application being rejected, regardless of the nature or reason for the misstatements/omissions. In fact, the number one reason individuals fail and/or are disqualified during the background investigation is because they deliberately withhold or misrepresent job-relevant information. Applicants must be truthful in all phases of the process and promptly submit documentation when requested.

    Helpful tips when applying:
     •It is important to carefully read the complete job bulletin before submitting your application so you are aware of all requirements of both the position and the process.
    •When preparing your application, consider reviewing the job announcement and classification specification so that you may emphasize work experience relevant to the position for which you are applying.
    •Job duties should be an accurate reflection of the work you completed. Copying and pasting from your job description is not recommended as there may be duties listed that you did not perform.
    •Answer all required supplemental questions completely and honestly. The information you put in the supplemental questionnaire must also be verified in your work history so if you say you have certain experience in the questionnaire, make sure we can see it listed in your job history as well so we know where you performed those functions and for how long.
    •Carefully review your application prior to submittal to ensure its content is accurate and all required documents are attached, and submit it before the closing date.
