1. Can I apply for a position any time I wish?

The Solid Waste Authority only accepts applications for open positions, that is, any position which has been advertised and for which we are actively recruiting. A completed employment application is required for any open position. You may attach a résumé to your completed employment application; however, it will be reviewed for clarification purposes only. General applications or résumés are not accepted or kept on file unless a position is open. Learn more about applying on our Careers page.

2. How will I know what jobs I am qualified for and when to apply?

Whenever a position become available, the SWA's Human Resources Department will create an Employment Opportunity posting. This posting will contain a job posting, statement of minimum educational and experience requirements, and will include a description of qualifications required. To be notified of new postings, click the yellow "Notify Me" button on the SWA Careers page.

Postings will be available for review in the Human Resources Department. We also post on our website, Employ Florida and other related publications. The SWA's current job opportunities

3. How do I file my application?

Applications are found for each individual job posting by clicking "Apply" on the Career Opportunities page.

Applications need to be filled out completely, even if you attach a résumé. Do not state "see résumé" when asked to describe your responsibilities, experience and employment dates. Your qualifications will be evaluated on the basis of information you provide on the application. Your résumé will be reviewed for clarification purposes only. If you are completing a physical application and need more space to describe additional work experience relevant to the position, continue on a separate page.

4. How long must I wait before I know whether my application has been accepted?

Please allow two to three weeks for your application to be reviewed. Applicants selected for further consideration will be notified.

5. If I've previously completed an application, will I automatically be considered for other positions?

No, you will not be automatically considered. You may apply for future careers with the SWA by logging into your account. Your information should be saved, so you will only need to update any changes in your application to apply for future openings.

• If you forget your login password, you can reset it on the login screen by using the "Forgot your Password" link on the login page, but only if you can receive email at the email address associated with your account. 
• If your email address and contact information are not up to date, we will not be able to contact you regarding the status of your application.
