Incomplete applications will not be considered for employment. All statements made on the application are subject to investigation and verification. Copies of documents verifying education, driver's license and any other licenses or certifications required by the position notice should be presented with the application. Any falsification of information on an application will subject the applicant to disqualification from employment.

As provided in the Florida Statutes, preference will be given to applicants who are eligible veterans and spouses of veterans. To receive Veterans Preference applicants must complete the veteran's preference section of the application and submit a copy of their DD214 (separation papers) which indicates character of service, at the time the application is submitted.

Original applications remain on file in the Human Resources Department for one year.
