I like the old way better, why did you change to the online system?
The benefits of the online process to applicants, hiring departments and the agency far outweigh the advantages of staying with our manual application process.
- The online system provides more information to applicants, including: The status of the position(s) for which you have applied,
daily updates to job postings, and
the ability to update your application online.
- The system can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from any Internet connection.
- Applicants can track their progress in the hiring process.
- The online process reduces the process time from when a job is listed to when applications are received thus reducing the time it takes to fill a position.
- It also reduces the redundant work of processing, printing, copying and distributing paper applications/resumes.
- It provides more consistent applicant tracking information and the ability to search and utilize applications on file.

Do I have to fill out an application?
Applications are required of each person applying for a position. System required information is denoted with an asterisk (*). However, we require a thoroughly completed application, including employment and salary history, to effectively evaluate your skills, abilities and qualifications. Completing an online application ensures your qualifications and personal information will be documented and ensures accurate applicant tracking information for every position.

I am already a Lottery employee, why do I have to complete a new application?
Applications are required of each person applying for a position. It is likely that you may have acquired additional skills, experience and education since you originally applied that should be considered. In addition, completing an online application ensures your qualifications and personal information will be documented and ensures accurate applicant tracking information for every position.
