1. How do I apply for a job with the City of Allen?

We only accept applications for positions currently posted online. All applications must be submitted through our online system; incomplete applications will not be considered. We don’t accept resumes unless they are submitted as an attachment in the online application process. (Need help setting up your profile? View the online support guide.)

2. If I can't access the online application, what should I do?

If you are unable to access the online application, please choose one of the following options:

1. Call Government Jobs customer service at 855-524-5627 to talk with someone live (or dial 2 and request a call back). Applicant customer service is available Monday-Friday (excluding holidays), between the hours of 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. (Pacific Time).
2. Email support@governmentjobs.com
3. Visit the Government Jobs FAQ page.
4. Reference the application guide for additional help.

3. I want to apply for more than one position. Do I need to fill out a separate application for each job?

Yes, to apply for multiple jobs postings you must complete a separate application for each position.

4. Can I submit my resume instead of completing the job application form?

We do not accept electronic/paper resumes without an application. You can add a resume to an application if you wish, but you should always complete the application as if there were no resume attached.

5. Will I be informed if I did not get the job I applied for?

Yes, all applicants will be informed in writing as to the status of the position.

6. How do I know when you’re recruiting for a specific job?

All current recruitments will be listed on the Job Postings page of our website. You also have an option to submit an interest card specific to departments. You will be notified via email when a position is posted for that department.
