OPEN RECRUITMENTS - INTERNAL EMPLOYEES
The internal employment opportunities postings have been relocated to the City Intranet (The Loop). Since we have been receiving many applications from external applicants who are ineligible for the internal opportunities, for efficiency we determined it would be helpful to post internal job opportunities exclusively on the Intranet.
