Q: How will I know if I have been selected for an interview?
A: Once the hiring supervisor has reviewed applications, any applicant that will be interviewed will receive a call from the hiring supervisor.

Q: What happens if I am selected for employment?
A: If you are selected for a position the hiring supervisor will give you all instructions regarding the steps of the hiring process. All paperwork will be completed through Human Resources, but exact instructions will be available at the time a verbal offer is given.
