1 FHRA INTERNAL JOB POSTING PROCEDURES The Fargo Housing and Redevelopment Authority (FHRA) is dedicated to assisting employees to reach their professional goals through internal promotion and transfer opportunities. One of the tools the FHRA makes available to employees in managing their career is Internal Job Posting. This procedure enables current employees to apply for any available position before the position is advertised outside of the company. Internal job opportunities will be posted in workrooms/breakrooms and sent via to FHRA subscribers. To apply for an opening: Step 1: Ensure that you meet the following eligibility requirements: You are a current, regular full or part-time FHRA employee. You have been in your current position for at least six months. (Exceptions to this sixmonth requirement can be made by your current supervisor and should be consistent with company business needs.) You have not had an employee counseling or corrective action within six months. You are not following a performance improvement plan for your current position. You meet the qualifications listed for the position on the job posting. Step 2: Complete an Internal Job Application form: Applications will be attached to all Internal Job Posting s and are also available in the reception area at 325 Broadway, Fargo, ND. Attach your resume to the completed Internal Job Application. Step 3: Submit your completed Internal Job Application and resume: Submit your completed Internal Job Application and resume to: Amy Rissmann, HR Manager/Executive Assistant Step 4: Hiring Process: After the application deadline, your application will be reviewed to ensure that it is complete. It will then be determined if your work experience and qualifications match the job for which you have applied. Qualified candidates will participate in an initial interview with the supervisor of that position and the HR Manager. After first interviews are complete, FHRA management may determine if a second interview is necessary. Please note that the FHRA may not interview all applicants for a position.
