How do I apply for a job?
Follow the directions here to fill out our online application. You can use this application for future jobs with the City and with many other public agencies as well.
How do I know that you received my application?
When you submit your application online, you'll see a confirmation notice that your application has made it to us. Once a position has closed, it generally takes two to four weeks to review applications. If we decide to interview you, you will receive an e-mail asking you to schedule an interview time. If you do not hear from us, it is likely we received applications from many qualified candidates and have chosen to move forward with other applicants.
How do I find out the status of my application?
Log in to your GovernmentJobs.com account and select “Application status.”
How can I increase my chances of getting a job with the City of Lakewood?
We welcome applications from anyone who meets the minimum qualifications, which are unique to each position. Before you apply, carefully evaluate each of the “Essential Qualifications” and “Physical and Mental Requirements.” Only candidates who meet those qualifications and requirements will be considered for the position. “Preferred Qualifications” are ideal, but not required. Interview panels may involve several City employees, and therefore take place at times that may not be ideal for you. Being flexible about scheduling and arriving on time, dressed professionally, will work to your advantage. Also, if you are disappointed that you were not called back, please know that many factors that you may not be aware of have affected that decision. Always maintain a professional demeanor to be considered for a future City of Lakewood opportunity.
How do I file for unemployment?
The Colorado Department of Labor Unemployment page provides instructions and an online form for you to fill out. Please contact the Colorado Department of Labor with questions about that application.
