1. How do I apply for a vacant position?

All job openings are posted on the city website under employment.  Online applications are accepted by simply clicking the “Apply” button that is located in the top right corner of each vacancy announcement.  An applicant will then need to create or log into their Government Jobs account to submit their application.

2. How often are jobs available?

The City of El Monte hires on a contingent basis. Whenever a position is vacant, we will accept applications for that position. If you are interested in a position that is not vacant at present, you may submit a job interest card online. We keep all Job Interest Card information for up to 12 months. If we recruit for the position listed on your Job Interest Card, we will notify you and let you know the deadline for submission of a City of El Monte Employment Application.

3. If I'm seeking to verify the employment of a City of El Monte employee, how can I go about it?

Please note that the employment verification will require a signed waiver from the employee.  The employment verification form can be faxed to the Human Resources/Risk Management Department at (626) 350-6197.  The verification will typically take up to a maximum of ten (10) days for return.
