1. I have filled out a County application before. Can I just submit a copy of that application?

No. Effective April 1, 2016, you must complete an applicant profile and submit a job application online with our new recruitment system, NEOGOV. Once you create a profile in NEOGOV, you reuse the same profile to apply for additional jobs online. For instructions to create a profile and apply for a job online, go to www.governmentjobs.com/careers/Maui www.governmentjobs.com/careers/Maui

2. I was previously convicted of a criminal offense. Can I still apply?

Yes. A conviction does not automatically bar you from employment. Each case is considered on its own merits.

3. What assistance is available for persons with disabilities?

The Department of Personnel Services is committed to offering applicants with disabilities a broad range of services and reasonable accommodations enabling them to compete for employment opportunities.

If you are an applicant with a disability who feels you may need assistance in the application process or a testing accommodation, please contact our office to discuss the request. It is your responsibility to inform us of your need in a timely manner so that we can determine if a reasonable accommodation can be provided.

Veteran’s Hiring Preference
Certain recruitments allow applicants to claim 5 or 10 points for veteran’s preference, as follows:

3. During the Gulf War from August 2, 1990 through January 2, 1992; or
4. In the campaign or expedition for which a campaign medal has been authorized, including El Salvador, Grenada, Haiti, Lebanon, Panama, Somalia, Southwest Asia, Bosnia and the Global War on Terrorism.

• 10 points veteran’s preference may be awarded to:
1. A veteran who served any time and who (1) has a present service-connected disability or (2) is receiving compensation, disability retirement benefits, or pensioner from the military or the Department of Veterans Affairs. Individuals who received a Purple Heart qualify as disabled veterans.
2. An unmarried spouse of certain deceased veterans, a spouse of a veteran unable to work because of a service-connected disability, and
3. A mother of a veteran who died in service or who is permanently and totally disabled.

Applicants claiming 5 points must submit a copy of their DD-214. Applicants claiming 10 points must submit an official statement from the Veterans Administration or armed service dated within the past 6 months which confirms their qualification to receive 10 points preference. Spouses or widows must also submit evidence of marriage and, as applicable, veteran’s death.
