FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you have any jobs available? If no, how do I find out when jobs are available?

Job announcements are advertised in the Kenosha News each Sunday. Depending on the target applicants, other resources such as additional newspapers, websites and other professional publications may also be used. Job vacancies are also posted on the City website and listed on the "jobline" at 262-653-4137. In addition the positions are posted on both bulletin boards in the Municipal Office Building (1st floor - west end and 2nd floor - outside the Human Resources Department, Room 205).

How do I apply for a City job?

All applicants must complete a City application. No resumes will be accepted in lieu of an application. All applicants will be required to take exams. Any combination of written, performance and/or oral exams may be given, in addition to a departmental interview, which is the final step in the application procedure. Application forms are available in Room 205 of the Municipal Building or can be downloaded from this site. A completed hardcopy of the application must then be returned to the Human Resources Department.

What is the minimum/maximum age for employment?

The minimum age for positions with the City of Kenosha is 18. Exceptions are made for lifeguards and Mayor-sponsored youth employment programs.

Is there a residency requirement for City employment?

Yes. City employees must reside within the following area when they are hired or within a specified period of time. This residency area includes: Kenosha County, Racine County (except for the Town of Waterford; however the Village of Waterford is acceptable), Franklin, Oak Creek or South Milwaukee. However, the Human Resources Director may restrict the residency area to Kenosha County only for certain jobs. Applicants should check the job posting or contact Human Resources to determine the residency requirement for any job they are applying for.
