| The
following guidelines have been provided to assist you with important
information about Otay Water Districts recruitment process. |
| 1. |
An
online District application must be completed.
The application is one of the most important screening tools used by the
District and is the applicants primary method of illustrating his/her
qualifications. Applications must be
filled out completely and clearly show that the minimum qualifications are
met. False statements, as well as
failure to disclose requested information, will be cause for
disqualification, removal from an eligibility list or discharge from
employment. All statements made on
the application are subject to investigation and verification, and
applicants may be required to provide documentary evidence of certificates,
degrees, training, experience, licenses or educational credits. |
| 2. |
If the position requires a
supplemental questionnaire and required responses are not included, the
application will be determined incomplete and may not be considered. |
| 3. |
Online applications and
related materials will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. on the closing date or
the date indicated on the job posting announcement.
|
| 4. |
Applicants must re-submit
an online application for each position for which they are applying.
Applications shall only be accepted during a recruitment period for the
designated position. |
| 5. |
All positions require a
valid California Drivers License. Your driving record must demonstrate
ability to legally and safely operate a vehicle while performing District
business without restrictions. The District may impose additional
requirements on applicants who may be required to operate a District vehicle
in connection with their position.
|
| 6. |
All application materials
will be evaluated based on related experience and education. Those
applicants who best match the requirements for the position will be invited
to continue in the selection process, which consists of an oral panel
interview and/or written evaluation of experience and education and/or other
appropriate testing techniques
which may include performance tests as required.
The
District makes reasonable accommodations for the disabled. If candidates
require special arrangements to participate in the interview process, they
should state their needs when invited to participate in an oral panel
interview.
|

Final applicants must
successfully pass a background check investigation to include fingerprinting
and may be required to submit documentation establishing qualifications.
|
| 8. |
Final
applicants will be required to take and pass a drug screen urinalysis test
and pre-placement physical. A
positive test will disqualify an applicant from employment if it indicates
abuse of illegal drugs or improper use of prescription drugs. Applicants who
refuse to submit to a drug screen will also be disqualified from employment.

Candidates are cautioned
not to quit or give notice to present employers until they qualify on the
pre-employment physical, drug screen examination and background
investigation.
