The City of Wichita has launched a new online job application system. The new system streamlines the process and creates efficiencies for both the Personnel Department and job applicants. Job applicants can now log-on to their MyWichita account and post their resumes along with their application form. This allows the applicant to apply for multiple positions, manage their information for future updates or applications, track the process and status of their application, view open job descriptions, and obtain quicker feedback on an application. This all results in better service to those individuals applying for positions with the City and helps the City streamline the hiring process.
The City is currently redesigning its Web site to make it easier for citizens to find the information they seek. MyWichita is a new personalization feature, which will be part of City’s new Web site design that will offer a wide variety of access to City information. With a valid email address and a username, citizens can select the specific content that is specific to their interest or the area in which they live. This content is then delivered to them in a single, well-organized and convenient location and format. In an effort to make more City information easily accessible by the public, City will be continually integrating new features into MyWichita such as subscriptions, crime information, construction projects, DAB information, and various City activities that are directly related to the desires and needs of the citizen and their specific requirements.
