Candidates interested in employment with the City of Statesville will be able to apply online using NEOGOV (also known as governmentjobs.com), a technology leader in human resources software designed to improve the hiring process.

The NEOGOV system is a secure site and will allow job applicants to create a user account/profile, apply for current job opportunities, and check the status of their candidacy all online. The system will also store the candidate's employment information so they will not have to complete a whole new application each time they apply. Candidates may also want to subscribe to "Job Alerts" through the Job Interest Card and will be notified via email whenever a job opportunity is posted that matches their identified area(s) of interest.

Please note that the City of Statesville will no longer accept paper applications or résumés. Candidates will be required to create an account using the NEOGOV system on governmentjobs.com, which can be accessed from our city website.

Your résumé, as well as any other attachments, can be uploaded in the Attachments section. It is important to note that résumés alone are not accepted in lieu of job applications.

Online applications should be filled out completely and should clearly show that the minimum qualifications are met. Do not leave an item blank. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Simply typing "see résumé" is not acceptable.

All statements made on the application are subject to verification. Exaggerated, false, or misleading statements may be cause for rejection of the application and/or termination of employment. Eligibility for hire may be based on a rating of the application; therefore, completeness and accuracy are of the utmost importance.

Some positions require a job-specific supplemental questionnaire. If the job bulletin states that a job-specific supplemental questionnaire is required, the questions will appear near the end of the online application process.

The application takes approximately 30 - 45 minutes to complete and must be completed and submitted by 11:59 PM on the closing date.
