Everything is done through www.aqmd.gov/careers. There you will find links to job opportunities, and will be able to create an account and apply for jobs. Remember to keep a record of your username and password once you have set up an account as you will need it to apply for other positions or to check the status of your application.

After you have submitted your online application you will receive a confirmation. You can also check your own password-protected profile for verification that you have successfully sent your application.

Check your email for status notices. If you are no longer being considered for a position, a notice will be sent to the email address you used on your application. If you are selected for an interview or an offer of employment, you will be contacted via phone, email, or the USPS mail.

As with any position, once a closing date has passed, no application will be accepted or considered. Please continue to visit the site and apply for new jobs as they become available. You may also want to complete a Job Interest Card at www.aqmd.gov/careers/job-interest-card to automatically be notified when a position you are interested in becomes available.

You may either attach or cut-and-paste a resume into your application. Please note a resume will not be accepted in lieu of a completed application. You may not state “See Resume” on the application.

No application is submitted until you click on the "Accept" button, which is "Step 4: Confirm and Submit" (see the progress guide at the top of the screen). If at any time you do not want to complete your application, save your work, then logout.

After you have submitted your application, you will see a link that says "Click here for a printable version of the application you just submitted."

If the position is still open, make the change in NeoGov and submit a new application to the position. If the position has closed, contact the Human Resources Department at 909-396-2800. Provide your name, your old contact information, your new contact information, and the position(s) you are applying for. Don’t forget to also make the change in NeoGov by logging on using the User ID and password that you created when you submitted your application and update your information to ensure that future applications have the correct information.

Candidates successful in the testing process are listed in rank order, based on their final test scores. The top five candidates are then certified to the hiring department for further screening, including a possible hiring interview with the Department Head or his/her designee(s). An Eligible List may be valid for up to twelve (12) months, unless exhausted sooner.
