Q: What is the best way to stay up to date on current openings at CPCD?

A: CPCD advertises in various places, but our website is the best place to check for current openings within our agency.

Q: How do I know if my resume was received online?

A: You will receive a confirmation email thanking you for your interest and stating that your application has been received.

Q: How does the screening process work?

A: Resumes that are received are initially screened by the human resources department.  If an applicant meets the qualifications their resume is forwarded to the hiring manager.  Candidates we wish to interview will be contacted to schedule an interview.

Q: What is the best way to check the status of my application?

A: During the screening process, candidates are emailed to let them know where they are in the screening process. If you are selected for an interview, you will receive an email with instructions on how to schedule it. If you are not selected to move forward, you will also receive an email notifying you of that decision.

Q: Do I need to contact Human Resources to check the status of my applications?

A: If you received a confirmation email, there is no need to check on the status of your application.

Q: How long will it take for me to hear back?

A: While we try to fill positions as quickly as possible, there are several factors that come into play when working through the recruitment process.  Please be patient as we review resumes, contact candidates and schedule interviews. 

Q: How long are applications kept on file?

A: CPCD keeps applications on file for one year.  However, if you are interested in other positions we suggest you apply as positions are posted.

Q: What does that mean if a job is no longer listed on the website?

A: Once a job has been removed that means that the position has been filled or we are no longer seeking to fill that position.

Q: What opportunities are there for professional growth or training?

A: CPCD supports employee growth through tuition assistance for continuing education, an internal professional development program, and a goal-oriented performance review process. We are committed to helping employees grow and develop throughout their careers with us.

Q: How does CPCD support work-life balance?

A: CPCD offers a generous time-off policy (see our Benefits page). We also maintain standard communication hours from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to help employees fully disconnect outside of work hours. When business needs allow, certain positions may offer flexible or remote work schedules.
