How to Apply:

Submit a resume to WC3 at:

jkrull@wccc911.org

Once a resume is received a .pdf fillable WC3 application will be sent electronically to your email.

Candidates with at least 18 months of experience in a State, County, or Municipal 911 center will not be required to take the skills test and will progress straight to the interview stage.

Take and pass an online skills and personality test. After WC3 receives the application, candidates will be notified via email of how to access the online test within 1-2 weeks after applying. Candidates need to regularly check their email (including spam and junk folders) for an email from onlinetesting@invitations.testgenius.com. Candidates will have only 10 days to complete the required online test once notified. There is no cost for taking the test.

Only those candidates who successfully pass all sections of the online skills test, including the typing test (35 WPM or faster), will be reviewed (including a review of their application).  Successful candidates will be invited for a “sit along” in the dispatch center and peer interview at WC3 and the Executive Director.  Post-interview activities will also include a police background check. If selected for the position, post-offer contingencies include a drug screen and physical.
