APPLICATION GUIDELINES AND INSTRUCTIONS

When applying for this position, please thoroughly complete the Education, Work Experience, and Supplemental Question sections of your application. The information provided in these sections, particularly the job-specific Supplemental Questions, will be used to determine whether you meet the qualification requirements for the job and your final score. Failure to provide detailed and complete information or submit any required documentation may result in your application being rejected or you receiving a lower score.

Please do not submit resumes in place of completing any of these sections.

List each work experience separately, do not combine jobs. For example, if youve held more than one position or job level(s) for the same employer, they should be listed and described separately so that the resulting changes in your duties and responsibilities are accurately reflected. If any part of your experience is unclear, you may be asked to provide a copy of your official job/position description (PD).

In general (unless otherwise specified on the job posting), the following criteria is utilized for evaluation of the Minimum Qualification Requirements:

  • Substitute, temporary assignment, internship or volunteer experience requires an official letter of verification from your supervisor and/or Human Resources department. The letter should include the job title, employment dates, number of hours worked, a description of the duties performed, and a contact name and phone number.

  • Concurrent or overlapping experiences and/or education will NOT be double credited.

  • Professional experience is defined as work typically involving independent analytical work that included solving complex (non-routine) problems, writing reports, and interpreting and applying technical materials.

  • Most work experience as an intern will NOT be creditable as equivalent to professional experience.

  • Calculation of experience will be based upon a full-time, 40-hour work week. Part-time experience will be pro-rated. Hours worked in excess of 40 hours/week will not be extra credited.

  • Example: Twelve months of experience at 20 hours/week will be pro-rated to six months of experience.

  • Example: Twelve months of experience at 60 hours/week will be credited as one year of experience, NOT one and a half years.

  • All requirements for the position must be met at the time of application or by the closing date of the recruitment, unless otherwise noted.

Possession of the required amount of experience will not in and of itself be accepted as proof of qualification for the position. The overall experience must be of such scope and responsibility as to conclusively demonstrate that you have the ability to perform the duties of the position.

Any information you submit is subject to verification. Supporting documents must be either electronically attached to your application or submitted to our office at: Department of Human Resources, 650 South King Street, 10th Floor, Honolulu, HI 96813.
