Employment Application

This document is an official Application for Employment form for the Township of Downe, New Jersey. It outlines the standard procedures and information required from prospective employees. The Township emphasizes its commitment to being an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer, basing employment offers solely on qualifications without regard to protected characteristics. Applicants are required to complete all sections of the application thoroughly, even if attaching a resume, as incomplete submissions may not be considered. The form requests comprehensive personal details, contact information, eligibility to work in the US, and specific questions regarding previous employment with the Township or criminal history. Detailed sections are included for educational background (high school, GED, college), skills, and professional references. Key employment conditions noted include the requirement for physical exams, criminal and credit background investigations, and drug screenings upon conditional offer of employment. The document clarifies that it does not constitute an offer of employment and establishes an at-will employment relationship. A voluntary affirmative action information section is also provided for demographic data collection, separated from the main application.
