Applying for non-civil service state jobs just got easier 

The commonwealth has improved the way residents can apply for non-civil service state jobs. Paper applications are being phased out, so from now on residents should apply online at www.employment.pa.gov.  During this process, residents will provide contact information and work history, and then individuals should select the type of job for wish they would like to apply.  Applicants say it takes about 20 to 30 minutes and they can log back on any time to update information or apply for additional jobs.  

About 70 percent of the state's jobs are civil service including, for example, technical and professional positions in fields such as nursing, budgeting or accounting, auditing, engineering, information technology, and human resources. If interested in civil service jobs, continue to apply at www.scsc.state.pa.us.  

More information on PA jobs -- including salaries and benefits -- is available at www.employment.pa.gov. For those without Internet access, computers are available at most public libraries and PA CareerLink sites. Call 1.866.858.2753 to locate the closest PA CareerLink.
