How to Get Started

Below are the steps to follow to complete the Clark College online job application:

To apply online for a job at Clark College, please create an account. If you have already created your NEOED (NEOED (NEOGOV)) account, please visit our website: www.clark.edu/jobs to begin the application process.
For new users, enter a username, password, and an email address. Write down your login information and keep it in a place where you will remember.
Once you have created your account and/ or logged-in, enter the name of the application and click “create application”. You do not need to recreate a new application every time you apply for a position. For returning users, you will use your username and password every time you sign-in to NEOED (NEOGOV).
If you have problems logging-in to your account, please contact NEOED (NEOGOV) Customer Support at 1-877-204-4442.
Collect all information that you will need to apply for a position. This includes your resume/CV, educational credentials transcripts, degrees, licenses, DD214 (if applicable), Veterans Affairs disability letters, etc., and anything else that might be relevant to the positions for which you are interested.
Ensure that your transcripts show that a degree was awarded or conferred if you are stating that it is your highest level of education completed. If you certify your level of education and it cannot be verified from your transcript(s), your application will not be referred to the selection committee.
If you are in the process of earning a degree, do not list it as your highest level of education completed.
Unofficial transcripts are acceptable. If it is a completed degree, make sure the transcript states that the degree was awarded or conferred.
Foreign degrees are acceptable provided they show that a degree was awarded or conferred. To make sure that you are given proper credit for your foreign degree, it is often helpful to have the degree translated and confirmed by an independent service that it has an equivalency to a U.S. Associates, Bachelor’s, Master’s or other degree.
If a job requires that you demonstrate completion of a specific number of hours in a certain discipline, be sure to attach the transcript pages that confirm those hours. You do not need to upload high school transcripts or your GED for your application. However, please keep in mind that a hiring agency may request a copy at the time of hire. If you have questions about this, it is best to contact the hiring agency for the position. All documentation that verifies education and semester hours completed will need to be electronically attached (uploaded) to your application at the time you apply. If you upload these documents after you apply for a position, you will need to reapply after the documents are uploaded in the system.

Creating the online job application/personal profile

Personal Profile: Applicants must enter their personal contact information. The applicant must enter all the required information in all fields to move to the next step by clicking “Save and View Application” button.
Education: Although your educational history is on your cover letter and resume, please include your educational information in your personal profile, as it is part of the application materials that we use to determine if you meet the qualifications to forward your application to the selection committee.
Work history: Remember you want to provide as much information as you can that relates to the job you are applying for. It is important to know that even when you attach a Resume, CV, and Cover Letter/Letter of Interest, you still want to enter your work history to be considered a competitive candidate. Typing “see resume” is not a viable option.
Certificates and Licenses: You can provide your valid license number in this section of the online application. You do not need to upload a copy of your license if you provide your license number with effective dates. However, we do not discourage you from uploading a copy of your license.
Skills: Remember to add all your computer skills and office skills in this section. If this information is not included in your personal profile, resume or cover letter, and it’s a skill you must have to qualify for the position, your application will be screened-out and your application not be released to the selection committee.
Additional Information: Include any information that will help us evaluate your application.
References: All positions require an applicant to include 3 names of professional individuals that can verify their work history.

Supplemental Questions: Supplemental questions allow us to collect information related to the job you are applying for. It is very important you take the time to answer each question as Human Resources uses the questions to aid in evaluating your education, training and experience to compare if you meet the minimum qualifications listed in the job announcement.
