Nothing further is required until requested by the Human Resources Office. At that point, we may ask you to submit documentation to support statements made in your resume.

If you are claiming veterans' preference, we may ask you to submit proof of veterans preference (DD-214, and, if claiming 10-point preference, SF-15 plus proof required by that form). If you fail to provide the required documents within the stated time period, we may withdraw a job offer and/or remove you from further consideration.
