How do I apply for a job at CPC?
The best way to apply for a job at CPC is to e-mail your resume and cover letter to hr@cpcwa.org. You can also mail us a hard copy of your resume and cover letter at Community Psychiatric Clinic, Attn: Human Resources, 11000 Lake City Way NE Ste 200, Seattle WA 98125. It is not necessary to submit both an e-mail and a hard copy – one or the other is fine.
I am interested in several positions. Should I send you separate resumes/cover letters for each?
We are glad that you have found a variety of positions at CPC that interest you. Please only send us one resume and cover letter, but be sure to mention in your email and cover letter the different positions you are applying for.
Do I need to fill out a job application as well as sending a resume?
If you come in for an interview, the Hiring Manager will give you an application to fill out. It is not necessary to fill out an application before then.
What happens after I send you my resume?
After you send us your resume, it is processed by our Human Resources staff and forwarded on to the appropriate hiring manager or managers. They then review your information and determine if they wish to interview you for an open position.
I sent you my resume. Why haven’t I heard from you?
We do not contact applicants unless we are interested in setting up an interview. If you have sent in a resume and one of our hiring managers is interested in setting up an interview with you, he or she will contact you directly, usually within a few weeks. If you have not heard from us in six to eight weeks, it is safe to assume that we have not selected you for an interview at this time.
How do I know if you received my resume?
CPC does not send resume confirmations, nor can we confirm receipt over the phone. To confirm that CPC has received your resume, we recommend you either attach a read-receipt to your e-mail, or use the Return Receipt or Delivery Confirmation services available through the US Post Office with your mailed hard copy.
If I call you, can someone in HR tell me where I am in the hiring process?
Because of the volume of resumes we receive, it is impossible for us to speak to each and every applicant. If one of our hiring managers is interested in interviewing you, he or she will contact you directly. If you have not heard from us in six to eight weeks, it is safe to assume that we have not selected you for an interview at this time.
Can I speak to the hiring manager?
We strongly prefer that prospective candidates wait for us to contact you rather than trying to contact us after you have applied for a job. Because of the volume of resumes we receive, it is impossible for us to speak to each and every job candidate.
What happens if you never call?
If we do not call you within six to eight weeks, it is safe to assume that we have not selected you for an interview at this time. However, we will keep your resume on file for a year, and you may be contacted later for another job if you fit our qualifications.
