Some county positions require testing. For some tests, you may need to contact a recruiter directly, via resume, cover letter or e-mail. Our Assessment Center offers skill testing by appointment on a regular basis. Job postings will contain additional information on required testing. Please review our Testing & Scores page for more information.

In order to protect the safety of Riverside County employees and the public, all employment offers are contingent upon fulfillment of established medical standards for the position. A pre-employment physical examination, including drug and alcohol testing, is required. Candidates who refuse to submit to testing will be disqualified.

If you are among the most highly qualified candidates and interested in a current opening, you will be invited to participate in a competitive interview process.

Resumes are considered current for one year. Choose a date to reactivate your resume annually to make sure it is always available and that your information is up to date. Resumes older than one year are not considered current and could result in missed employment opportunities. Once you are hired or promoted with the County, your resume status automatically changes to inactive; if you wish to remain eligible for open positions, please submit an updated resume.

It is important that your contact information, which should be a minimum of your address and one phone number, is always up to date. Always keep your current resume on file with valid contact information.
