Application Packet

To be considered for any position, you must submit a completed, signed Whatcom County Employment Application and, if applicable, a Supplemental Application form.  These documents will be used to determine whether you meet the minimum job requirements.  Please do not fill in sections with "refer to resume."

To obtain the required application packet:

  • Print out the appropriate application in PDF format at the end of each job announcement (Note: Requires Adobe Acrobat ); or
  • Call (360) 676-6802; or
  • E-mail to hr@co.whatcom.wa.us and give us your complete postal mailing address including zip code, and the title of the position you are applying for, and we will mail you the necessary application materials.

Application materials must be received in Human Resources by 5:00 p.m. on the closing date.  Whatcom County does not accept postmarks or faxed applications.
