2.     The Screening Procedure is as follows:

**Note: The District does not provide expense reimbursement for those invited to initial interviews.

c.     For classified positions, recommended candidate(s) may be interviewed by the appropriate Vice President.

d.     For instructional positions, the Superintendent/President and/or Vice President will interview those recommended candidates. The Superintendent/President may recommend a final candidate to the Board of Trustees.

3.     In the interview, consideration will be given to factors other than education and experience, including, but not limited to, personal development, ability to work with others, initiative and sensitivity. A demonstration of teaching technique will be required for instructional positions.

4.     If a candidate applies for a position based on “equivalency” of qualifications, a detailed written explanation and documentation must be provided for committee review.

5.     Candidates should expect official notification of their status once the Board of Trustees has acted on the Superintendent’s recommendation for employment.

6.     The College reserves the right to contact the current or most recent employer of any candidate, to investigate past employment records, and to visit the present place of employment.

7.     The College reserves the right to re-advertise the position or to delay indefinitely filling a position if it is deemed that applicants for the position do not constitute an adequate applicant pool.

8.     The College does not return the candidate’s material submitted in application for a position.

9.     If reasonable accommodation is required, the candidate must let the EEO Officer know. All contacts will be kept confidential.

10. A “Supplemental Equal Employment Opportunity Sheet” is distributed with each application. Completing and returning this sheet is done on a voluntary basis by the candidate. This information is used for statistical information and does not circulate through the screening procedure with the application.
