How do I know that you received my application?
If you applied online, you will receive an automated confirmation reply
to your e-mail address. Some people do not receive that reply because
their security settings send it to the junk mail folder. If you are
unable to find that reply, feel free to give us a call, and we will
look up your application.
How do I find out the status of my application?
Discover the Job Status online
of any position. Once a position has closed, it generally takes two
to four weeks to review applications. We will call you after that to
schedule an interview. If you have not heard from us, it is likely we
received applications from many qualified candidates and have chosen
to move forward with other applicants.
How can I increase my chances of getting a job with the City of
Lakewood?
We welcome applications from anyone who meets the minimum qualifications,
which are unique to each position. Select "See the full job description"
from the job announcement, and carefully evaluate each of the "Essential
Qualifications" and "Physical and Mental Requirements."
Only candidates who meet those qualifications and requirements will
be considered for the position. "Preferred Qualifications"
are ideal, but not required to be a viable candidate.
Interviews may involve several City employees, and therefore take place
at times that may not be ideal for you. Being flexible about scheduling
and arriving on time will work to your advantage.
How do I file for unemployment?
The Colorado Department of Labor Unemployment page provides instructions
and an online form for you to fill out at www.coworkforce.com/UIIC/.
Please contact the Colorado Department of Labor with questions about
that application.
