Human Resources Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I apply for a position with the Department of Banking? 
 
A: To apply for a position with the Department, submit a State of Texas Application by fax (512-475-1313), mail (TX Dept. of Banking, 2601 North Lamar Blvd., Austin, TX 78705), email (jobs@dob.texas.gov) or in person at the above address. For positions requiring college credits or degrees, a photocopy of the official college transcript must be submitted with the application.

Q: May I submit a resume to apply for a job?
 
A: You must submit a completed State of Texas Application form to be considered for a position with the Department of Banking. You may include your resume with the application but all prior employment information must be on the State of Texas Application.


Q: If I submitted my information on WorkInTexas, is that sufficient to be considered for a position at the Department of Banking?
 
A: No, to apply for a position with the Department of Banking, you must submit your application directly to the Texas Department of Banking.


Q: How long does the Department of Banking hold applications?
 
A: Applications are considered only for the open position indicated on the application. Applications are not held for future consideration.

A: If the posting requires college hours or a degree, a photocopy of the official transcripts must be submitted before your application will be considered.


Do I have to submit all the transcripts from every college I have attended?
 
A: Transcripts are used for verification of the minimum qualifications for the position. For example, if college accounting classes are required you should submit as many transcripts as necessary to verify the completion and grades for your accounting courses. Transcripts should include all degrees conferred and must be clear and readable. 


Q: If I don’t have an official copy of my transcripts, should I submit the application first, then the transcripts later?
 
A: The application cannot be processed without the transcripts, if transcripts are required. Applications will be held in pending until the transcripts are received. If the position closes before the transcript(s) is received the application will not be considered.

Q: How long does it take to fill the vacancy?
 
A: The time frame is dependent upon several factors and varies widely. Some position may be filled within three weeks. Positions that are difficult to fill usually take much longer.
