Recognizing that the search for employment can be a somewhat difficult and sometimes frustrating experience, the City of Highland Park utilizes an online application process to apply for available employment opportunities.  Don't worry, you can still attach a resume and cover letter once you have created your user account and selected a position of interest.  Select the "apply" link below to begin your journey to becomming a valuable member of our team.

Should you not see a listing of available positions at the bottom of this page, we do not have any positions currently open for recruitment.  In the event there are no open positions, please consider selecting the "Job Interest Card" link on the left side of this page.  By following the link you can select job categories that you are interested in.  We will send you a reminder email if a job in a selected category is open for recruitment.  Your interest will be noted for 12 months.  After that, please sign back in to refresh your selected job categories. 



Rest assured that online applications are stored on a secure site. Only authorized employees and hiring authorities have access to the information submitted.

Remember, it is important that your electronic application show all the relevant education and experience you possess. While attaching a resume is appreciated, it does not eliminate the need to complete our application.  We frequently receive a large number of applications for our open positions.  Therefore, applications that are incomplete may not receive the same attention as a completed application.
