I'm having difficulty downloading applications
from your website.
All job descriptions and
applications on our website are in Adobe Reader format, and
can only be accessed if the current version of the Adobe
Reader Reader program is installed on your computer.
You can download this FREE program from the Adobe
website at
www.adobe.com/products/Reader/readstep.html. The
current version in use is Acrobat 7.0. If you are
using an earlier version, you may have difficulty viewing
Acrobat files on our website, and we encourage you to
download the latest version of the program to ensure access
to our application materials.
Additionally, computers that
do not have the most recent version of Microsoft Internet
Explorer or another browser installed may not be able to download
application materials properly. Download the current
version of Microsoft Internet Explorer from the Microsoft
website at
microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp.
Older computers that have slower
processors, run on older versions of Windows or Macintosh
operating systems, or have dial-up modems that connect at
slower than 56 kbps may also experience difficulty in
downloading applications from our website.
The larger the file, the longer the download time.
Typically, applications on our website take only minutes or
less to download on a 28.8 kbps connection, but if your
computer has any of the issues mentioned, you may need to
wait longer. If, after several minutes, you continue to
experience difficulty, please follow these instructions:
a) Click the "Back" button on your browser.
b) Right-click the link to the application you would
like to download.
c) Select the "Save Target As" option and save the
file to your desktop.
Cleaning out your browser's
cache and then restarting your computer may also enable you
to view our application materials.
If
you are still unable to view or print applications from our website
after following the instructions above, please call the
24-Hour Job Line at (760) 744-1150 ext. 4181 or stop by the
Human Resource Services office in room A-1 on the main
campus in San Marcos to access current job opportunities and
obtain application materials.

I'm having difficulty viewing or
printing pages of your website.
You may be using a computer
that has a slower processor; runs on an older version of
the Windows or Macintosh operating systems; or have a dial-up modem that connects at
slower than 56 kbps. Computers with any of these
issues may take
longer to download any webpage. Please be patient
while each page is loading.
Computers using outdated versions of browsers
may also experience difficulty downloading web pages.
You can download
the current version of Microsoft Internet Explorer at
microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp.
If you are still unable to view or print
pages from our website after following the instructions
above, please call the 24-Hour Job Line at (760) 744-1150
ext. 4181 or stop by the Human Resource Services office in
room A-1 on the main campus in San Marcos to access current
job opportunities and obtain application materials.

Can I submit my application online?
Applications for all permanent and part-time faculty
positions may be filled out online.
Please note, however, that after you fill out the
application online, it must be printed, signed and submitted
with the other application materials required for the
position for which you are applying. Application
materials may be submitted to Employment Services in person,
via postal service, or by fax if followed with a hard copy
sent by postal service.

How do I fill out the application online?
1. Complete
all required form fields
of the application, starting with the "Date of Application"
field. If more space is required to complete any section
- for example, if there are not enough fields on the
application form to list your entire employment history -
please create additional sheets to include the information
that doesn't fit on the form, and attach these sheets to
your application.
Helpful Hints:
-
Hold the
mouse cursor over the form field without clicking
to view a description of what information is required in
the field and suggested formatting tips.
-
Type the
required information into
the field.
-
Press the
"Tab" key to move to the
next field.
2. Print all
pages of the application.
3. Sign all
required portions of the application.
4. Submit
your completed application packet and other items
listed on page 2 of the Position Announcement to Employment
Services.

I am unable to
fill out the application online. How else can I
complete it?
●
You may save the application on your
computer so it can be completed offline at a later
time. Click the “Save” button (indicated by the floppy disk
icon). Then, select the file or location where you wish the
application to be saved on your computer. Finally, click
the “Save” button again. Please note: saving the
application to your computer may not save the
information you type into the form fields, depending on
the version of Acrobat that you have.
Therefore, we recommend that you complete your entire
application at one time and print a
copy for yourself prior to submitting it to Employment
Services.
- You may print the application
and fill it out by hand or
typewriter.
- If you have access to a scanner,
you may also choose to print the application,
scan it, and then type the
required information into the form fields.
- Technical questions or comments about
completing the application online?
Please call (760) 744-1150 ext. 3043 or send
an email to
palomarjobs@palomar.edu.

Where can I find
applications on your website?
Applications for permanent
and part-time faculty positions are available on our website
at
www.palomar.edu/hr/palomarjobs.htm. Click on the type of position
you are interested in applying for (for instance, click
"Full-Time Faculty" if you are interested in a full-time
faculty position), and you will be directed to the page of
our website containing the corresponding open positions.
Then, click on the position title that interests you to
access the position announcement and application for that
position. For all positions except part-time faculty,
the actual application packet for each position
begins after the first two pages of information about the
position.
Please note: With the
exception of part-time faculty positions, Employment
Services can only supply and accept application materials
for specific open positions. As each application
packet is tailored to a specific, current opening, we are
unable to give applications to candidates for general use or
future consideration.
