LIBRARIAN III (CHILDREN’S LIBRARIAN) – SHIFT WORK – MAUI Full Time

Please read the following information carefully.

A. At a minimum, applicants must submit a cover letter, detailed resume, list of recent professional reference, as well as responses to the required Supplemental Question(s).

DHRD and the hiring agency will use the information provided by the applicant to determine whether the applicant meets the Minimum Qualification Requirements and/or the final score as applicable. Failure to provide complete and detailed information may result in the application being delayed, rejected, or a lower score.

B. The resume must include each employer’s name, complete employment dates (month/year to month/year), your job title and a detailed description of your job duties with the employer as they directly address each of the Requirements.

C. You must submit verification (e.g., copies of official transcripts or diploma as directed) in order to receive credit for education. In general, proof of education downloaded from and/or submitted through the internet will not be accepted. Education obtained outside the United States must be comparable to education earned at a regionally accredited school in the United States. We also reserve the right to request further information about your academic program, evidence of comparability, or an original transcript.

D. To receive credit for substitute, temporary assignment, or volunteer experience, applicants must submit an official letter of verification from the employer. The letter should include the job title, employment dates, number of hours worked per week, a description of the duties performed, and a contact name and phone number.

E. Applicants must meet all Minimum Qualification Requirements (MQRs), as of the date of application, unless otherwise specified.

In general, concurrent experiences and/or education will not be double credited unless otherwise specified. Your possession of the required amount of experience will not in and of itself be accepted as proof of qualification for the position. The overall paid or unpaid experience must be of such scope and responsibility as to conclusively demonstrate that you have the ability to perform the duties of the position.

Our calculation of experience will be based upon a full-time, 40-hour work week. Part-time experience will be pro-rated.

Example: Twelve months of experience at 20 hours/week will be pro-rated to six months of experience. Also, hours worked in excess of 40 hours/week will not be extra credited.

Example: Twelve months of experience at 60 hours/week will be credited as one year of experience, not one and a half years.

F. Any information you submit may be verified.

G. It is the applicant’s responsibility to provide complete and accurate information which will clearly substantiate whether the applicant meets the MQRs.

H. Possession of the required number of years of experience will not in itself be accepted as proof of qualification for the position. The applicant’s overall experience must have been of such scope and level of responsibility so as to conclusively demonstrate that the applicant has the ability to perform the duties of the position being sought.

I. Supporting documents must be either electronically attached (recommended) to your application or submitted to our office via email, fax, or USPS as soon as possible. Please call our office at (808) 587 0936 for USPS or emailing addresses.
