Yes, please ensure all applicable sections of the online application are completed. Incomplete applications will not be sent to the hiring department. Your online application should reflect the required work experience and education needed to meet the minimum qualifications of the position for which you are applying. Work experience is a required field, even if you are unemployed. See the ‘How to Apply’ instructions for more information.

At the beginning of the online application, you will be able to attach a resume each time you apply for a position. Attaching a resume, however, does not substitute for completing the entire online application.

Yes.

As many as you like.

No, all applications must be submitted through the online application system. Please do not contact the hiring department.

Once you submit an application, you will receive an email confirmation. All applications are reviewed and screened against position qualifications. Approximately 3-7 business days after the application submission deadline, you will receive an email regarding your eligibility for the position. If your application meets the position qualifications, it will be forwarded to the hiring manager for review. Hiring managers will then contact candidates who best meet the position requirements.

Please contact Human Resources at 850-891-8214 during normal business hours (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST). You may also submit an email by clicking on the ‘Contact Us’ link at the bottom of the Human Resources webpage.

Job postings are updated weekly on Saturdays. Please pay attention to the application submission deadline for each position you are interested in as applications will not be accepted after that time.

While you cannot update an application once it has been submitted, you may submit another application for the same position before the specified application deadline to update your information.

No, if you have submitted an application in the past, the information you previously entered will populate on your new application. When this occurs, please review your information and update it, if necessary.
