City Employment Opportunities
Welcome to the City of Pasadena's application process!
You can now apply on-line. If this is the first time you are applying using our on-line job application, you will need to create an account and select a Username and Password. After your account has been established you can build an application by clicking on the "Build Job Application" link.
This application can be saved and used to apply for more than one job opening. It is important that your application shows your entire education and job experience record (please explain all gaps in job history). A preference may be given to current City employees to fill a vacant position. NOTE: an attached resume is not a substitute for the required information on the application. Applications may be rejected if incomplete.
IMPORTANT: Each applicant must have their own email address when setting up an account. Do not share your account with anyone. If you do not have an email account, you can sign up for free email at Hotmail, Yahoo, or Google. It only takes a few minutes to register!
If you have submitted your application correctly, your status should read "Application Received." There is no need to contact Human Resources to see if received. If it does not, you may have not clicked on the "submit button".
Please note: If you would like to know your application status step by step login to your account and click on application status. Once your application has been received, Human Resources will not have any other information regarding your application status. The City of Pasadena reserves the right to change the content of any posted job opening at any time.
An applicant receiving a conditional job offer will be required to successfully complete a timely drug test, background investigation and fingerprint appointment. Otherwise, the applicant will be removed from current consideration.
