General Applicant Information

Application materials are accepted only for positions which are currently posted. We do not accept application materials for any other positions. Unfortunately, we must also return any unsolicited resumes.

We request that you provide us with a Klamath County Employment Application for each position in which you are applying. In some cases, a resume may be accepted in place of an application. Please review the job announcement to determine the items required for the position which interests you.

While completing our employment application, be sure to read it carefully and answer all of the questions. In order to be considered for employment with Klamath County, your application must be complete. It is strongly recommended that you type or neatly print all information on the application form. Be sure to include all education and experience that you would like us to consider and be sure to sign and date your application. All materials submitted are retained by Klamath County, so be sure to make copies of your documents in advance.

Our “Career Opportunity” job announcements and application materials are all available from the County's Human Resources Department in the Government Center, located at 305 Main Street in downtown Klamath Falls. In addition, we often list our job opportunities state-wide with the State of Oregon’s Employment Division. Our outreach to northern California communities is usually through California’s Employment Development Department offices in both Alturas (Modoc County, CA) and Yreka (Siskiyou County, CA). Most positions are advertised locally in the Klamath Falls Herald & News or regionally in The Oregonian. All of our positions are based in Klamath Falls unless otherwise indicated on the job announcement.

After a position has closed, it will normally take 2 to 3 weeks for the interviewing process to begin. Only applicants selected for an interview will be contacted. Once a position has been filled, the unsuccessful applicants that interviewed will be notified, as well as the applicant being offered the position.
