Everything starts at the employment web site, www.yorkcounty.gov/employment.  There you will find links to Employment Opportunities, an Online Employment Application Guide, and Online Help for Getting Started.  Above all, remember to keep a record of your username and password once you have set up an account.  You will need it to apply for other positions or to check the status of your application and when you re-enter the system, you will need to input this information exactly as it was originally entered.

A list of available positions can be viewed 24 hours a day; 7 days a week from any computer with Internet access.  Visit the employment web site at www.yorkcounty.gov/employment and click on either the link for Online Employment Opportunities (Open to All) or YORK COUNTY EMPLOYEES ONLY (Open to County Employees Only).

You may use any personal computer with internet access, so family and friends may be of assistance.

Although we cannot endorse any one particular vendor, free e-mail is available through providers such as Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail.

If you wish to receive notification when a job you are interested in becomes available, go to www.yorkcounty.gov/
employment and click on the "Job Description" link in the left hand column.  Click on the name of the job to open the description.  On the right hand side, click on the link entitled "Email me when more jobs like this are available" and follow the online directions.  Or, click on the "Job Vacancy Notification Cards" link in the left hand column and follow the instructions listed.

Check your email for status notices.  If you are no longer being considered for a position, a notice will be sent to the email address you used on your application.  If you are selected for an interview or an offer of employment, you will be contacted in most cases by phone. 

You must click "SAVE" to retain the information you have entered.  If you close your browser prior to clicking "SAVE," you will lose any information you entered after the last time you clicked "SAVE."  If at any time you need to exit out of the application form, click the "Save" button at the bottom of the form.  You can return to your application later by logging into your account with your Username and Password.

You may either attach or cut and paste a resume into your application.  Resume attachments must be in the following formats:  plain text (.txt file extension), rich text (.rtf file extension), PDF (.pdf file extension), or Microsoft Word (.doc extension).  The attachment size is limited to 1MB.  Please note that submitting a resume does not substitute for completing the application form.

All information is on a secure web server.  Only the Human Resources Division and other County department users authorized to review specific job openings will have access.  The County of York does not share its database with other companies or localities.

Yes.  Once you have created and saved your online application, you can apply for multiple positions that are currently open.

After you have submitted your application, you will see a link to ‘Click here for a printable version of the application you just submitted.’

Everyone who applies for a position is required to create an online application.  Paper applications and resumes will not be accepted.

A separate application is required for each position so you must apply for each job separately to be considered.  To ensure you will be considered for other positions, watch our employment web site or complete a Job Vacancy Notification Card.

No application is submitted until you click on the "Accept" button, which is "Step 4: Confirm and Submit" (see the progress guide at the top of the screen). If at any time you do not want to complete your application, save your work, then logout.

Changes can be made to your application at anytime before it is submitted. Once you submit an application for a particular position, you cannot go back and make changes to the submitted application.  If you make changes and submit another application before the position closes, we will only consider your most recent application.  You may also make changes before submitting your application for any new positions.  If you have any difficulty submitting an updated application before the position closes, please contact the Human Resources Office at (757) 890-3687.
