1. How do I submit an application?

Application for employment must be made on the City's official application form. Resumes by themselves do not satisfy this requirement. Please provide as much detail about your work history as possible and attach additional sheets as necessary. Applications are only accepted for job vacancies that are posted. Applications may be completed via an electronic form and emailed to our department.

Applications are available between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at:

City Hall
620 E Main Street
Haines City, FL 33844

Applications may be mailed to:

City of Haines City
Attn: Human Resources
620 E Main Street
Haines City, FL 33844

Note: If submitting an application by mail, your application must be postmarked by the posting deadline.

2. Do I have to submit multiple applications to apply for several positions?

Yes, a separate application form must be completed for each position.

3. What is the status of my application?

If your qualifications and experience meet the position requirements, Human Resources will identify you as a potential candidate and forward your application to the hiring manager.  The time frame varies and depends on the position and number of applicants.  If selected for an interview, you would typically be contacted 2 to 3 weeks after the closing date of the position.

4. Would having a criminal record affect one’s chance of getting a job?

Applicants with a criminal record are evaluated on a case by case basis. Be honest and forthright concerning your background on the application form and during the interview. A conviction will not necessarily bar you from employment, but will be weighed with respect to time, circumstances, seriousness, and the position for which you have applied.

5. How do I reach a live person?

You can email Human Resources or call 863-421-9926.
