How long should I expect to wait before hearing from the City regarding the status of my application?

Once the position has closed, it may take two to four weeks for all the applications to be reviewed – first by Human Resources and then by the hiring department. The length of time to review the applications is dependent upon how many applications are received – sometimes up to 300 applications for one open position! At the completion of the application review process, all applicants will receive a letter in the mail notifying them whether or not they have been selected for an interview.
