Information for Applicants (READ CAREFULLY)

The City of Lockhart Human Resources Department accepts applications for posted job vacancies only. All individuals who wish to be considered for employment are required to complete and sign an Employment Application. A resume may be attached; however, the application form must be completely filled out in order to be considered for an interview. Considerations when choosing applications for interview include: (1) All applicable information is filled out, (2) neat and legible, (3) proper grammar, (4) spelling must be correct, and (5) all job history information is completed. Failure to sign the application form or Job Description form will result in rejection.

You must meet all of the qualifications of the position for which you are applying. If questions are not applicable, enter “NA.” Do not leave items blank. A separate application form must be submitted for each position for which you are applying. You may submit photocopies as a substitute for an original application form; however, the City of Lockhart will not provide photocopies of applications or resumes for you.

Completed applications must be received in the Human Resources office no later than 5 p.m. on the date of the deadline. Applications received after the deadline will not be processed and will be returned to the applicant.

The application form and all attachments become the property of the City of Lockhart. Information provided by applicants is subject to disclosure in accordance with the provisions of the Texas Public Information Act. Any questions, concerns, and/or complaints regarding the application process should be directed to the Human Resources Department. The process takes approximately 2-3 weeks from the closing date listed on the job posting; however, some positions may take longer. The hiring supervisor will contact applicants selected for interview and make the final hiring decision.

All information on the application form and any attachments are subject to verification by the Human Resources Department. If an applicant is recommended for hire, the following checks will be made: an evaluation of the applicant’s driver’s license record (if driving is a requirement of the position), work references and a criminal history check. After a conditional offer of employment is made, a medical examination and a drug and/or alcohol test may be required for all positions. Applicants refusing to cooperate, failing to show up for scheduled appointments and/or failing to successfully pass required tests will be disqualified from consideration for employment for the advertised position.

Thank you for your interest.
