Employment FAQ's When will I be contacted about an interview? Human Resources serves as a collection point for all employment applications. Once we receive an application we forward it to the department that has the vacancy. That department, in turn, will contact applicants that they feel are most qualified for an interview. Our goal is to fill each vacant position as soon as possible. It can take 2-3 weeks before the department makes contact with applicants. If no contact has been made after 3 weeks from submission of application, this means other applicants are being considered.
Do I have to fill out an application for each position that I want to apply for? Yes. It is likely that the vacancies are in different departments, therefore, an application filled out for multiple vacancies may not be forwarded out of the department it was originally sent to.
Can I follow up with a phone call to the interviewing supervisor to make sure my application was received? If a contact name and phone number appears on the job posting you may feel free to contact that person regarding the status of your application. If no contact information appears on the job posting, that means that the interviewing supervisor does not wish applicants to contact him/her regarding the status of an application. Human Resources staff will honor that request and will not give out that information to job applicants. Human Resources will forward all job applications on the day that they are received.
How may I submit an application for employment? Applications may be submitted to Human Resources by mail, in person, or online through the website. Specific information is located on the employment site. Please read carefully for instructions. For those who submit applications via the website, a confirmation email of receipt of application will be sent. Please do not submit application more than once. Wait until a confirmation has been received. Confirmations are not automatic, therefore there may be a delay before a confirmation is sent.
Will I be notified when the position that I applied for is filled? Unfortunately, due to the high volume of applications that we receive for each opening and limited staff, we are unable to provide each applicant with a written notification that a position has been filled. However, you may check whether or not a position has been filled by accessing our city website at www.duncanville.com/employment or by calling 972-780-5095. Please note if the notice has been removed, the position has been filled.
