This link will take you to the “User Login” page. If you have not already created an account, click on “create an account” at the bottom of this page. You will then be asked for a User Name and Password, as well as a valid e-mail address and a security question and answer.

How do I apply for a posted position after I have created a User Name and Password?
After you have completed the Application Builder and attached a resume or other documents, click on the desired position on the “Employment Opportunities” page. After reading the description and qualifications, click on “Apply for this Position” at the bottom of the page. You will be asked to read the “Certificate of Applicant” and click the agreement box. You may then click the button to apply for this position. You will receive a confirmation e-mail when your application is successfully submitted.
I have forgotten my User Name or Password.
The Human Resources staff does not have access to this information. The link to retrieve your password is not currently working. Until this problem is fixed, you can create a new account using a different e-mail address from what was originally used or contact the Human Resources office to try to resolve this issue. There are no guarantees that Human Resources can help and it could take an extended period of time to retrieve your User Name or Password from the website master. We are sorry for this inconvenience.
I cannot register, log on, view jobs, or apply using my computer.
You may not be able to view our job postings if you are trying to access this portion of our website from a computer that has certain firewall features or if you have slow internet access. Computers are available at some public Libraries or you may use a computer located in the Human Resources lobby. We are located at 109A E. Orange Avenue, Eustis, Florida 32726. While we do encourage applicants to use our online Application Builder, you may complete a regular application, which can be mailed, faxed, scanned and emailed, or submitted in person. A printable application can be found on the Human Resources page under “Traditional Employment Application”.
Do I need to include all previous employment on my application?
Yes. The City of Eustis Employment Application requests that all previous employment be included. If you are completing a paper application, you may include a separate sheet of paper listing additional employment.
Do I need to include complete addresses for previous employers and references on my application?
Yes. The Human Resources office will contact previous employers and references by mail. It is very important that complete and accurate addresses are given. If addresses are not provided, this may slow the hiring process down considerably.
How do I update my online application?
Once an online application is submitted or attached to a position, it cannot be altered. However, before applying for another position, you can log in to your account by using your User Name and Password to update or change items. Click “save and continue” until you complete the application. Your changes should now be saved, so when you apply for another position, the changes will appear on the application submitted for that position.
How do I attach a resume or additional items to my online application?
Once your online application is completed, you have the option of attaching one PDF or Microsoft Office document. If you have multiple documents, please scan them to a single PDF file before attaching it to the application. If you are not able to do this, you may fax or e-mail the additional items to the Human Resources office. Please clearly note on the cover page or in the e-mail that you would like to add these items to your application and for what position you have applied. You may call 352-483-5472 for more information or to confirm receipt of your items.
How do I qualify for veteran’s preference?
Veterans who wish to claim veteran’s preference under Florida Statute 295.07 must identify themselves as eligible veterans on the employment application. An applicant claiming veteran’s preference is responsible for providing the City with the required documentation by the closing date.
Do I need to give my social security number when applying for a position?
Police Officer and Firefighter applicants will be asked to provide a copy of their social security card when completing their application packet. For other positions, the social security number will only be requested if/when you are asked to test or interview for a position. This is required for criminal history background checks and will be protected at a secure location at all times.
I have submitted an online application for a position currently advertised. What happens next?
Once your application has been successfully submitted, you will receive a confirmation e-mail. If you do not receive this e-mail, you have not successfully attached your application to the position. Log back into your account and try to submit again. If it was successful the first time, you will get a message letting you know you have already applied for this position.
You will most likely not hear anything regarding the position until after the closing date. You will then receive an e-mail letting you know that the position is closed and in the selection process.
The Human Resources Department screens applications and the applications are also submitted to the hiring department for review and consideration. Qualified applicants are selected for interviews based on a comparison between their experience, education, training, testing, background and the minimum requirements of the position. Only the applicants with the most job related qualifications will be selected for testing or interview. The City’s hiring process may take from three (3) weeks to several months for certain positions. Those who are selected for testing or interviews will be contacted by telephone or e-mail.
All online applicants will be notified by e-mail when a position is filled or if the position will not be filled. Applicants using a paper application will be notified by mail after the hiring process is complete.
If I am not chosen to fill a position, will my application be considered for another position?
No. A separate application must be submitted for each position. The online Application Builder allows you to continue to use the same application, but you must attach it to each position for which you are interested. Police and Fire applicants will need to attach their application each time the position is posted to be considered again.
