How does the agency announce job openings?

We will always advertise any job openings in the Sunday edition of the Seattle Times/Seattle Post-Intelligencer and position-specific websites. Or, if it is more convenient for you, check this Web site for new postings and information about how to apply. We do not have an application packet; rather, we ask for a cover letter and resume.

What happens when I have applied for a job?

We will send a postcard confirming that we received your resume. We screen resumes for qualifications that match our job requirements. Typically, we call a small group to a first round interview. For every position, we form a selection team consisting of managers and key agency staff. Final applicants will be interviewed by this group. The executive director approves all final recommendations. The process, from start to finish, usually takes 45-60 days.

Can I send in a resume even if there are no new job postings?

We prefer to accept resumes when we have a specific job opening.  Please check this Web site for new openings or your Sunday Seattle Times/Seattle Post-Intelligencer employment section.
