NOTE:

For the purposes of applying for jobs, our application system requires a unique email address for each user. If two individuals share an email address and the first person has already set up an account, when the second person tries to establish an account, they will get an error message telling them that the email address is already associated with a registered user.

If you do not have an email address, there are websites you can go to, e.g. Yahoo, Google and Hotmail, where you can sign up for a free email account.

You will receive a confirmation email when your submission has been received. If you do not receive a system-generated email response, call the Office of Human Resources at 240-777-5000 to ensure that your submission was successfully submitted and has been received by our Office. You must print and retain the confirmation email for your records.

Current County employees who are disabled under the Americans with Disabilities Act or have been subject to Reduction in Force must be considered before others for advertised vacancies for which they qualify. Veterans may be considered before other candidates under certain conditions (see "Veterans Credit" heading for specific information).

Montgomery County Government is an equal opportunity employer, committed to workforce diversity. Accordingly, as it relates to employment opportunities, the County will provide reasonable accommodations to applicants with disabilities, in accordance with the law.
