Employment Procedures

How to Apply

The Board of Architectural Examiners (TBAE) accepts applications only for posted vacancies. Submit one State of Texas Application for each position in which you are interested. Applications must be received by 5:00 pm on the closing date. TBAE will not consider you as an applicant if you submit a resume or letter of interest without a State of Texas Application.

Applications may be:

Interviews

All applications are screened for minimum qualifications. Only applications that meet all minimum qualifications will be considered by the hiring unit. If you are selected for an interview, the hiring division will contact you. If you are hired, the Human Resources Division will call to extend the offer and you will receive an official job offer letter in the mail.

Applicants who are interviewed but not selected will be notified when the position is filled. Only those applicants interviewed will be notified of final selection or non-selection.

Equal Employment Opportunity

TBAE does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age or disability in employment or in the provision of services. Reasonable accommodation will be made for persons with disabilities during the application process or at the time of employment.

You will be asked to complete the Applicant EEO Data Form that is attached to the application. The information requested is voluntary and is collected for reporting purposes to Federal and Equal Opportunity Agencies. Information from the EEO data form will not be considered as part of the application for employment.

Reasonable Accommodations

Reasonable accommodation will be made for persons with disabilities during the application process or at the time of employment.
