Application Process

Applications for employment can be filled out online or picked-up from and returned to Human Resources on the third floor of the Rapides Parish Courthouse. If you are going to fill out online, please use Google Chrome as the browser and you will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer as currently the email link does not work with our server.  We are making every effort to fix this problem and hope to have it done shortly.  When you open the link for the application, click the download icon in your browser and this will save the document onto your computer.  Open the document in the Adobe Reader app on your computer and then you can fill it out and click the Email button when you are finished.  Interviews are done by appointment only with the Director of Human Resources.
