Welcome to the Dearborn Public Schools Human Resources Department website.

1 Q. How do I apply for a specific job opening?
A. Before you can apply for an open position, you must complete the online application. Once you have completed the application, you simply select the job for which you want to apply and click “Apply for this position”.
2 Q. Can I apply for more than one job?
A. Yes. You would need to apply separately for each job, by clicking the job number of the position. This will give you a description of the job, including wages, start date, etc. Once you have reviewed the job information click “Apply for this position”.
3 Q. Do I have to create a User Name and Password to complete an application?
A. Yes. You will not be allowed to enter the online application menu until you create a Username and Password.
4 Q. Do I have to create a User Name and Password to view open positions?
A. No. You may view open positions on the Human Resources webpage. Simply follow the link on the DPS homepage.
5 Q. How do I check the status of my application?
A. Once you submit your application, we receive it immediately in our applicant database. Unless you get an error message, your application has been received by the Human Resources Dept.
6 Q. Will I be notified if a job I applied for has been filled?
A. No. You will need to check periodically to see the status of open positions. If the status indicates “closed”, that position has been filled.
7 Q. Which documents should I upload with my application?
A. For the initial application process only licenses or certifications are necessary (e.g. teacher certificate, journeyman’s card, CDL etc.)
8 Q. Each time I click the “send” button, I get a “Script time out error” message. Why?
A. The type of internet connection you are using (Dial-up, cable, DSL) may effect how long it takes your computer to send your application information. You may want to check with your local internet service provider for assistance with this issue.
9 Q. How long will my online application remain active? Can I renew my application?
A. Applications will remain active for one (1) year. If you wish to have your application remain active, you must login to your existing account, review/update if necessary, and click “save” before the one year period expires.
10 Q. How long can I work on my application online during one session?
A. You have 90 minutes to complete each section of the application during one session. You can always save your work and come back to that session, but after 90 minutes you will receive an error when you try to save your work. A time limit is in place due to server technology. It helps to be prepared when you sit down to fill out the application. Have your resume and other information readily available for quick reference as you fill out the forms.
