Applicant Resource Center


Careers.Ga.Gov offers the most central place to find job opportunities with the State of Georgia. For any job you find advertised on Careers.Ga.Gov, you will need to complete the State of Georgia Resume Builder and apply on-line for that job. Some of these jobs, however, may also require that you submit additional application materials, including a paper application or resume.

In this case, or if you are applying for a job which is being announced by an individual agency but is not listed on Careers.Ga.Gov, or if you are otherwise applying for a job (or promotional opportunity) with the State that requires a completed State of Georgia Employment paper application, you have a choice of two options:

  • Contact the hiring/employing agency to obtain specific information about what materials you will need to submit in order to apply. The hiring/employing agency should be able to provide copies of the Employment Application, as well as other required materials.

  • The Department of Administrative Services continues to provide the State of Georgia Employment Application for electronic download. The application is available in Adobe PDF (interactive) at:
         State Application
         Supplemental Work History
Please note: Mailed applications should be directed to the specific agency for the job/position in which you are applying. Paper applications are not processed by DOAS Human Resources Administration.
