All applicants must register before applying for a job. You can search for jobs without registering. However, you cannot apply for a job until you have registered.
Social security numbers are also used as a unique numeric identifier and may be used for search purposes.
Public Records
In accordance with Florida law, any paperwork related to conducting official business with the government is a public record. Employment applications fall under the definition of a public record, which means that applications to the County are available for review upon request.
Miami-Dade County is a public entity subject to Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes concerning public records which includes all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, tapes, photographs, films, sound recordings, data processing software, or other material, regardless of physical form, characteristics, or means of transmission, made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any agency.
When responding to a print advertisement or online posting, your application will be linked to a specific vacancy (job opening number) and your qualifications will be screened against the announced job requirements. How do I find a job if I only have a job announcement number?
The system allows users to search for information in a variety of ways. To find a vacancy announcement for which you have only a number, follow on-screen instructions on how to conduct advanced searches. When you reach the data entry page, leave all fields blank except for the job opening ID field. A job announcement number and a job opening ID are one and the same.
Miami-Dade County procedures require one application per position. Each time you want to be considered for a position, you need to send an application. Although one application per job is necessary, after you create a user profile, you only have to answer the questions that are specific to the job for which you are applying. By getting information from the user profile, the time that it takes to complete a second, third or fourth application is significantly shorter than the time it took to set up the original profile. Each time you edit your profile, the new information will be dropped into each application stored in the database. The online application system requires that you apply for each job in which you're interested. If you are interested in being considered for employment in five different classifications, you need to submit five separate applications. As long as you turn in one application per job, there is no limit to the number of jobs you can apply for with the County.
When expressing a general interest in employment or applying without a job, your application will be saved in a database available to hiring managers and recruiters. If you have indicated that you possess knowledge, skills and abilities the County is seeking in a prospective employee, you may be contacted to apply or interview for a specific position.
