Employment FAQ
I would like to apply for multiple positions on campus. May I submit one application for all?
No. A completed employment application is required for each desired position. Any resume submitted without a completed application will not be considered.
May I e-mail my application?
Yes, applications may be emailed to Employee Services using human.services@sonoma.edu as the address.
Are a cover letter and resume required?
These items are not required but are recommended.
I submitted samples of my work along with the employment application and would like them returned to me.
Materials submitted with your application will not be returned.
What does "open until filled" mean?
If the department does not find a suitable candidate among those who applied by the first review date, applications received after that date will be considered. This explains why a position may still be posted on our web site even though the "first review" date has passed.
I recently applied for a position. How long will it be before I hear from someone?
You will receive an email confirming that we have received your application. The screening process typically includes a three to six week review and selection period after the closing date. Only those candidates selected for an interview will be notified.
How many applicants will be selected for an interview?
A limited number of qualified applicants will be selected for interviews and will be contacted directly by the hiring department.
I'll be in your area, may I stop by for an interview?
If you are chosen for an interview, the hiring department will contact you directly. You may note your availability in the cover letter.
Is there someone I can call in the hiring department for an update on the process?
Hiring departments prefer not to be contacted by applicants. You may call (707) 664-2166 for an update.
Will you keep my application on file for a future position?
We only accept applications for posted jobs, and do not keep applications "on file".
Will I be notified by mail once a position has been filled?
Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to notify each and every applicant that a position has been filled. If a position has been taken off the jobs page on our web site, you may assume the position has been filled.
