  • Saves money on postage
  • A record of all postings and applications is kept inside your profile in OHMS
  • You will be able to see the application status when logged into your OHMS profile
  • Application is received instantly after you certify and submit it
  • Supplemental questions are answered during the application process instead of having to submit them separately, with the paper application

Benefits to the hiring agency:

  • Saves time and effort; agency does not have to manually enter the application into OHMS, or contact applicant regarding responses to the Supplemental Questions
  •  Gives agency the ability to start processing the application immediately upon receipt
Instructions for Applying with Paper Application

Applicants are encouraged to apply online to make it easier to apply for multiple positions, and respond to supplemental questions that may be included with the online posting.  However, a PDF of the paper application is available.
 

The paper application must be printed, completed manually and mailed directly to the agency. A separate application must be completed for each position. You may wish to make a copy of the completed application to retain for your records.
 
The agency's mailing address is listed at the top of the printable job bullentin.  Click “Print Job Information” from the posting to view the printable job bulletin.
