Step 2:  Apply for a Job

If you see a job vacancy that you are interested in and believe that you qualify for that job, you must obtain, complete, and submit an official City of Gatlinburg application by the application deadline specified on the job announcement or advertisement.  The submitted application must be signed in order to be accepted.  Applications are available in City Hall or you may call (865) 436-1400 in order to have one mailed to you.

If you are interested in a job that is not currently vacant in the Police or Fire Departments, you cannot apply at this time; however, you can ask to be placed on the waiting list for the job. A postcard will be sent to all names on the list when vacancies occur.  You can have your name placed on the waiting list by calling the Police (865) 436-5181 or Fire (865) 436-1417 Departments and asking for the Training or Police Accreditation Officer.  All remaining departments do not maintain a waiting list.

Resumes may be included as a supplement to the application but NOT as a substitute.  For some jobs, copies of diplomas, transcripts, or certifications may be required.  The need for this documentation will be specified in the job announcement or as supplemental materials in the application.

Applications must be received in City Hall at the Human resources office by 4:30 on the stated deadline or must be postmarked by that date.  Applications can not be faxed.
