Step Three: Obtain Application

Once you have found a Job Announcement in which you are interested and for which you meet the requirements, you will need to obtain an application. You can get an application two different ways:

1. Print an application
   For your convenience, we have made it possible for you to view an application online and to print blank copies. To do this, you will need to have Adobe Acrobat Viewer on your computer.
Download a current version of Adobe Acrobat Viewer for free.
Once you have the Adobe Acrobat Viewer, you can open and print an application.


2. Have an application mailed to you
   If you are unable to print out an application, you may contact the DOP to request that an application be mailed to you. Please call the Open Competitive Application staff at 609-984-4645. The voice mail will provide instructions on what information you will need to provide.
