We require you to submit a separate application each time you apply for a position. Every application is evaluated separately based on the classification for which you are applying. You may submit photocopies of earlier applications (with original signatures), but you will need to indicate the title of the position you are applying for on each application.
May I turn in an application for a position that may become available in the future?
Our application procedure requires you to turn in applications for current open positions rather than for positions that may be available in the future.
May I submit a cover letter and letters of recommendation with my application materials?
Yes, however resumes are not accepted in lieu of completing a Jessup application. Applicant pools are competitive, so you may wish to consider including additional materials that demonstrate your strengths and qualifications for the position(s) you are applying for.
Should I bring in my application in person?
We prefer electronic applications however, you may drop your application off to the Jessup receptionist. Please note the specific job opening that you are applying for on the front of the envelope.
How will I know the status of my application?
Candidates who are selected to interview will be contacted by phone or email. The recruitment process can range from a few weeks to a few months depending on the job classification and the complexity of the selection process. It is our goal to let all applicants know the status of their application either by email or regular mail. The volume of applications received is considerable; therefore, this may not happen quickly.
How can I find out about specific requirements for a position?
