APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT

State of North Carolina

INSTRUCTIONS:

To be considered for NC State Government employment, you must answer all questions (unless listed as optional) and complete all sections of this application form.

The State of North Carolina employs only US citizens or foreign nationals who can provide proof of identity and work authorization within 3 working days of employment. Males subject to military selective service registration must certify compliance to be eligible for state employment (G.S. 143b-421.1). See availability block.

When completing this application make sure you:

Complete the equal opportunity information section.

Apply for one vacancy per application.

If you are a RIF applicant with priority- please check the appropriate box.

Give complete information on your education and work history (“see resume” is not acceptable).

List separately each job held and your duties for each position when you worked for one employer and held more than one position. Use a continuation sheet, PD 107-A, if needed.

As you describe your work history, make sure you highlight your competencies (knowledge, skills, abilities and work behaviors) which demonstrate your qualifications for the position for which you are applying.

Provide only the last four digits of your social security number.

Check for accuracy, sign and date your application.

Thank you for your interest in employment with the State of North Carolina. North Carolina hires the most qualified people available to serve its citizens. Although everyone who applies cannot be hired, each application will be given consideration based on its competitiveness compared to other applications received. PD 107 (REV Feb 2020)

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is the purpose of the PD 107 form?

    The PD 107 form is an application for employment with the State of North Carolina. It is designed to collect essential information about applicants, including their work history, education, and qualifications. Completing this form accurately is crucial for being considered for a job with the state.

  2. Who is eligible to apply using the PD 107 form?

    Only U.S. citizens or foreign nationals who can provide proof of identity and work authorization within three working days of employment are eligible to apply. Additionally, males subject to military selective service registration must certify compliance to be eligible for state employment. This ensures that the state hires qualified individuals who meet legal requirements.

  3. What information must I provide in the application?
    • You must answer all questions, unless marked as optional.
    • Provide complete details about your education and work history; simply stating "see resume" is not acceptable.
    • List each job held and describe your duties, especially if you held multiple positions with the same employer.
    • Include only the last four digits of your Social Security number.

    Accuracy is vital, so be sure to review your application before submitting it.

  4. How does the equal opportunity information section work?

    The equal opportunity information section collects data to ensure that recruitment efforts reach diverse populations. Completing this section is optional, and the information provided will not affect your application. It is used solely for statistical purposes and is not shared with hiring managers.

Common mistakes

Filling out the PD 107 form can be a straightforward process, but many applicants make common mistakes that can hinder their chances of securing employment. One significant error is not completing all required sections. Each question must be answered unless specified as optional. Leaving sections blank can lead to automatic disqualification, as the form is designed to gather comprehensive information about each applicant.

Another frequent mistake involves the education and work history sections. Some applicants simply write “see resume,” which is not acceptable. The form specifically requires detailed descriptions of education and job experiences. Each position held should be listed separately, including specific duties and responsibilities. This information helps hiring managers assess qualifications effectively.

Many applicants also overlook the importance of highlighting their competencies. When describing work history, it's crucial to emphasize skills, knowledge, and behaviors that demonstrate suitability for the position. Failing to do so can result in a missed opportunity to stand out among other candidates. Make sure to connect your experiences directly to the job you are applying for.

Providing incorrect or incomplete information can also be a major pitfall. For instance, applicants often forget to include the last four digits of their Social Security number or fail to check for accuracy before submitting the form. These small details may seem trivial, but they can lead to significant delays or rejections in the application process.

Lastly, many applicants neglect to sign and date their application. An unsigned application will not be processed, which means all the effort put into completing the form could be wasted. Taking the time to review, sign, and ensure all information is correct is essential for a successful application.

Misconceptions

When it comes to the PD 107 form, there are several misconceptions that can lead to confusion for applicants. Understanding the realities behind these misconceptions can help streamline the application process and ensure that candidates present themselves effectively. Here are seven common misconceptions:

  • Only U.S. citizens can apply. While the form states that only U.S. citizens or foreign nationals with work authorization can be employed, many applicants mistakenly believe that only U.S. citizens are eligible. Foreign nationals who can provide proof of identity and work authorization are also welcome to apply.
  • Submitting a resume is enough. Some applicants think that attaching a resume suffices for the work history section. However, the PD 107 form specifically requires detailed descriptions of each job held, including duties and responsibilities. Simply stating "see resume" is not acceptable.
  • Social Security number is required in full. A common misunderstanding is that applicants must provide their entire Social Security number. In fact, the form only requires the last four digits, which helps protect applicants' privacy.
  • Equal opportunity information affects hiring decisions. Many people believe that the equal opportunity information section will influence the hiring manager's decision. However, this information is used solely for statistical purposes and does not impact the evaluation of an application.
  • Applications can be submitted for multiple vacancies at once. Some candidates think they can apply for multiple positions using a single PD 107 form. The application process requires applicants to submit one form per vacancy, ensuring that each application is tailored to the specific job.
  • Work history does not need to be detailed if it's similar to past jobs. Applicants often think that if they have similar work experience, they can provide less detail. However, it is essential to highlight specific competencies and duties for each position, even if they are similar, to demonstrate qualifications effectively.
  • Criminal history will automatically disqualify me. Some individuals fear that any past conviction will lead to immediate disqualification. While a conviction is required to be disclosed, the hiring team evaluates the nature of the offense and its relevance to the position, meaning not all convictions will disqualify an applicant.

By addressing these misconceptions, applicants can better prepare their applications and increase their chances of success in securing a position within the State of North Carolina. Clarity and attention to detail are key components of the application process.
