Applying for a Position

• The OLA (On Line Application) system:
  OLA is designed to allow you to apply for positions you are interested in without going to the District Office or sending the application through the mail. Some additional points to remember when you use the OLA system follow.
  • You must submit the application, resume and cover letter prior to 5:00 pm on the deadline day. This means you will need to start your OLA application several days prior to the deadline so if you experience any difficulties you will have time to complete and submit the application.

  • Read all of the OLA instructions so you will not miss a step.

  • You will be completing a "Personal Information Form".

  • Before you submit the form, be sure all of the information is correct. The system will not allow you to enter another Personal Information Form with the same Social Security Number.

  • Once you have submitted the "Personal Information Form", you will move to the application portion of the system. Be sure to click the "Save and Continue" button at the bottom of each page. If you miss this button you will lose the information you just typed in.

  • If you go back to a previous page, be sure to click continue first.

  • A time saver is to type your job descriptions in a MS Word document then copy and paste to the appropriate section in the application.

  • This is also where you will submit your cover letter and your resume. Details of the resume and cover letters are accessible later in this program.

• "Word format" application:

  • Be aware that the job description sections of this application are space limited so you will need to be very concise with your wording.
