  1. The application was received without an original signature (no copies of signatures allowed).
  2. The application was not received by the closing date and time.
  3. A resume was received without a completed application form.
  4. The application was for a position which there is no current listing. The Civil Service only accepts applications for positions that are listed.
  5. The application form submitted is not one used by The Civil Service.
  6. The position being applied for also requires submission of a complete Disclosure form which was not completed/ received with the application packet.
  7. The position being applied for also requires submission of a Supplemental Questionnaire form which was not completed/ received with the application packet.
  8. The application did not indicate which position was being applied for.
  9. The application indicated that multiple positions were being applied for. A separate application is required for each position being applied for.
