Recruitment Process 

When there is a vacancy, you must complete the required application and submit it prior to the closing date. Once your application is reviewed, you will be notified. The time line will vary based on the position. Time may vary from 3 weeks to 3 months. Candidates are kept abreast of the process along the way.

If you are chosen to continue in the recruitment process, you will be invited to a test process based on the position for which you applied. The test could be an oral panel interview, written, performance, typing exam or a combination. There is not a set way to prepare for a test.  However, for "skilled" tests such as typing, you may practice your typing;  for "knowledge" test, you may consider reviewing material related to the subject; and for other positions, you may go on-line and learn more about the Town of Glastonbury and the services offered.  If you have a conflict with the test date, you may contact the Human Resources Department at 860-652-7501.  However, depending upon the type of test being administered, Human Resources may not be able to accommodate you.
