MANDATORY FORM INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ THE BELOW AGAIN AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!

This form is essential and must be completed before submitting to client.

Please read and follow all client instructions AND WATCH YOUR SUBMISSIONS FOR TYPOS.

We find it unfortunate that many folks just don't read everything and get deleted in the

submission process since there are errors.

These are CLIENT INSTRUCTIONS, not ours.

Please, the form must be complete and accurate. We had an instance where a personal reference did NOT list a phone number.

Fortunately, we have a strong relationship with the HR folks in Texas and if not, the entire resume would have been put in the trash and NEVER REVIEWED.

Don't let that disqualify the individual and remove all your hard work!

Read carefully and follow every requirement. The requirement must be met or exceeded or HR/Texas will not accept. These are client rules, not our rules

Please....

Three references with valid Phone Numbers
All docs in Word
Each requirement must be met or exceeded. With "Preferred," there is some flexibility, but less than the number of years for a "Preferred" means less hourly rate and may decrease interest in the candidate.

Also, local, state, or Federal experience should get an interview.

Where Possible:

Public-sector experience has become more important. This becomes stronger when the Texas position relates directly to the previous public-sector experience. For example, if Texas has an opening in Motor Vehicles, your candidate with Motor Vehicle experience in say Michigan is a huge plus to be selected for an interview. Even better if the candidate
