Application and Resume Policy

The following are policies and procedures followed by the Human Resources Department of the City of Novi regarding the collection, storage and use of resumes and applications.

Resumes and applications are divided into two categories:  Solicited and unsolicited.  Solicited resumes and applications are those received in response to action taken by the city to fill a vacancy.  Unsolicited resumes and applications are those received by the city which are not in response to action taken by the city.   These can be for specific advertised positions or for general employment.

Both solicited and unsolicited resumes and applications are accepted at all times and will be kept on file for a period of one year.  It is the responsibility of the applicant to notify the Human Resources Department if they wish to be considered for a specific advertised position or extend their application beyond a year.  Only Police Officer candidates will be automatically considered for a current vacancy without direct notification.

All resumes and applications are stamped with the date received.  All solicited resumes and applications will receive a response from the Human Resources Department.  Any individual who wishes to be considered for a specific position will be required to fill out a City of Novi Application for Employment.  A pre-employment physical and drug test will be administered after a conditional offer of employment is made.
