The application may be submitted at www.cityofconcord.org. This is a continuous recruitment and is subject to close at any time. Prompt application submission is encouraged. 2. All qualified applications, supplemental responses, cover letters, resumes, and work sample submissions will be competitively evaluated, and those candidates demonstrating the strongest qualifications for the internship opportunity will be invited to participate in a screening interview and/or a series of screening interviews. Conviction History If you receive a conditional job offer, you will be fingerprinted, and your fingerprints will be sent to the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The resulting report of your conviction history (if any) will be used to determine whether the nature of your conviction conflicts with the specific duties and responsibilities of the job for which you have received a conditional job offer. If a conflict exists, you will be asked to present any evidence of rehabilitation that may mitigate the conflict, except when federal or state regulations bar employment in specific circumstances.
