Central Lincoln determines whether you meet the minimum requirements for the position applied for by referencing your resume and supporting materials, including your education history, work history, and answers to ‘Supplemental Questions.’ If a requirement is specified in the job posting, it is in your best interest to ensure that your submitted application clearly states how your qualifications meet the desired requirement. Answers to questions about specific experiences must be supported in your work experience statements in the application form. Only those individuals who most closely match the desired attributes will be invited to an interview.

If all the required information is not provided, your application will not be considered.

Central Lincoln takes your privacy very seriously. All information is on a secure web server hosted by BambooHR. Only the Human Resources Department and designated staff who are authorized to review applications for specific job openings will have access. Central Lincoln does not share its database with other companies. Certain information is kept confidential within the Human Resources Department and is not shared with anyone. This would include information on EEO-related questions such as sex and ethnicity.

Yes, the closing date for each position is listed at the top of the job posting. All application materials (including Veterans’ Preference documentation) must be received by the posted close date. Once a position closes, it will be removed from the website, and no further applications will be accepted.

Employment Opportunities that have ‘Continuous’ or ‘Open until filled’ listed as the closing date will remain open until all positions have been filled. All continuous/open-until-filled positions will have various review dates, and applicants will be screened on an ongoing basis. You are encouraged to submit your application as soon as possible in order to be included in the next scheduled review.

Allow approximately 15 minutes to complete your application.

Note: You must submit your application by the posted close date in order to be considered for the job posting. Please allow plenty of time to apply online in case you have technical difficulties with your computer. We recommend not waiting until the last day to apply.

Upon submitting your application, you will receive an email thanking you for applying. Once the close date for the position has passed, the hiring supervisor will review all of the applications. Whether or not you are selected to move ahead in the interview process for a position, you will be notified by a member of the Central Lincoln Human Resources team. Please check your email regularly.

You will be contacted by a representative of Central Lincoln by email. Interview requests or job offers will be conveyed via telephone and/or email.

No, once a closing date for a position has passed, no applications will be accepted or considered. Please continue to visit the Central Lincoln website and apply for new jobs as they become available.

Vacancies are filled in a competitive process. If you are not chosen, it does not necessarily mean that there was something wrong with your application or that you performed poorly during the interview (if you were selected for one). It simply means that someone else was selected who more closely meets our needs for the position. Continue to check our job openings for other jobs that interest you, and apply if you feel you are qualified.
