Application Process

Search openings and apply to the one that best fits your skills and interests. Positions are filled on a rolling basis.

Fill out the online application. It takes about an hour. Pro tip: tailoring your resume to a specific opportunity can help position you for success.

You can have up to three active applications at one time.

Complete the health history form so we can start to understand your individual health needs.

For us to support your medical needs during service, it is critically important that we have your complete and accurate health history.

Medical information is confidential and will be sent to the Office of Health Services for the medical clearance process to make sure you have access to the necessary medical treatment and support needed during your service.

When you apply, we ask about your legal history. This is the place to disclose any and all information including any citations, arrests or charges — regardless of whether the charge was dismissed, sealed, or expunged.

All such incidents will show up later during your background check. If you don’t disclose at this point, you risk your invitation being rescinded based solely on non-disclosure, regardless of how minor the offense might be.

While evaluating disclosures, we consider the nature of the offense(s), how long ago the offense(s) occurred, the nature of the position in question, other relevant facts, and evidence of rehabilitation.

If you receive an interview request, you’ll participate in a virtual interview. The interview will last about an hour. Be sure to prepare answers ahead of time to the questions in the interview request email.

If selected, you’ll receive a conditional invitation to serve. The invitation will come by email, and you must respond within 2 days. Note that being invited to serve is NOT the end of the application process — you must still be medically and legally cleared for service.

Provide additional medical information so our health team can certify that appropriate support will be available at your site; and additional legal information so our legal team can complete a background check.
