Job Openings

  Job Specifications   Job Interest Card
  • Most positions in Daly City's municipal government are in a Civil Service System; some are not.
  • The City does not keep applications and resumes on file.
  • If there is a vacancy for a City position, there is a time period during which completed City applications will be accepted.
  • That time period has a Final Filing Date.
  • You may call or come in to get the application and the Job Bulletin.
  • Applications received after the final filing date will not be accepted. (The department does accept applications which are postmarked with the final filing date.)
  • Positions with the City have formal Job Descriptions/Duty Statements. The statements indicate the Minimum Qualifications which anyone applying for the position must have.
  • Those minimum qualifications may include education, license(s), and specific kinds and duration of experience. Anyone who screens your application needs to know the hours a week and the number of months you worked.
  • When you complete a City application it's critical that you clearly indicate how you meet the minimum experience qualifications. Information on your resume can't be substituted for a completed application.
  • If your application shows that you meet the Minimum Qualifications and the position is a Civil Service one, you'll get a written notice of when and where to take the written examination.
  • Some positions also require a performance examination such as a typing test or a physical agility test.
  • If you pass the written examination, you'll get written notice of when and where to take the oral examination.
  • Generally, the short oral examination is conducted by a panel of three examiners who ask each candidate predetermined questions.
  • If you pass the oral examination, your name will be ranked on an Employment List. You will be notified in writing of your rank and the life of the list. Normally, Employment Lists remain current for two years.
  • At that point, a manager(s) may consider hiring candidates from the Employment List

You will also be notified in writing:

  1. if you don't meet the Minimum Qualifications
  2. if you don't pass the written, performance, or oral examination

Recruiting and creating a Civil Service Employment List is a process which may take longer than you expect. Daly City's Human Resources Department is careful to give all job seekers an equal opportunity to be considered for a vacant position with the City. The City encourages a diverse workforce and offers applicants who need special accommodation in the testing process to inquire directly to the Human Resources Department before the final filing date regarding their needs.
