If you want to become a part of our big family, The Division of Child Development & Early Education has a variety of positions located throughout the State of North Carolina. For a listing of specific vacancies, including their location and closing dates, visit the North Carolina Office of State Human Resources (OSHR) Job Opportunities Website. First time users of the OSHR Job Opportunities Website must create an account. Once your account is established, you can build an application. The saved application can be used to apply for specific jobs. It is important to include all of your relevant education and experience. Resumes are not accepted as a substitution for a completed application. Information included only on a resume will not be considered in determining qualifications. Update your saved application for each job you apply for. Be sure to list all experience, education, and training that qualify you for the position on the application form.
Submitting one application for several openings without updating the application for each position is not usually the best idea! Each job posting usually has some different "knowledge skills and abilities" and "management preferences" listed, so make sure that you write separate descriptions of your experience for each position. If your past experience includes some different jobs and duties, describe how your past experience fits each job.
