I am currently a West Ada School District employee; do I need to submit an application?

Yes. Internal applications are only for positions of the same class (example – Certified to Certified, Administrator to Administrator, Classified to Classified). If you are an internal employee and applying for a position in a separate classification (example – Certified to Classified), you will need to submit an external application for full consideration.

Can I fax, mail or email my application and resume?

Unfortunately, we no longer accept applications via fax, mail or email. If you do not have access to a computer or the web to apply for vacant positions, most public libraries have computers with internet capability for public use. If you have difficulty finding internet or computer access or if you need assistance with our online process, please contact Human Resources at 208-350-4430.

Do I have to fill out all portions of the application if I attach a resume?

Yes. In order to receive full consideration, you need to completely fill out each section of the application, even if you attach a resume.

How do I check on the status of a position?

Jobs are removed once the filing deadline has past or the position has been filled.

How do I know that my application was received?

After you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive a confirmation email within several hours, we recommend that you check your spam or junk folder.

Who can I contact in the hiring department for an update on the process?

You may email hr@westada.org for an update.

What does “first review” and “open until filled” mean?

If the school or department does not find a suitable candidate among those who applied by the first review date, applications received after that date will be considered.

When is my application due?

For full consideration, please review the specific job posting for which you are applying to for additional details.

When will my references be checked?

References are generally checked after the interview process.

Will you consider my application for other positions available at WASD?

No. You will only be considered for the position(s) for which you’ve applied to. If you would like to be considered for other available positions, you will need to apply for each position.
