Before you can apply for a job, you must login to the DFPS Career Center or create an account and complete the job application.
- Login to the Career Center(or create a Candidate Profile ).
- Complete an application and build your profile.
You must complete a State of Texas Application to be considered for any DFPS job.
How To Complete the Online State of Texas Application
- Create a user account by going to the "External Login/View Profile” link on the right side of the page.
- If this is your first time using the Career Center to apply for a job, you will need to first create your Candidate Profile. Use the “Expand all Sections” button to expand each section, fill out the required information, and then click the save button.
- If you already have a Candidate Profile created, it’s a good practice to review the information in your Candidate Profile and update anything as needed before you apply to jobs. For each job you apply to, the system will attach and apply your most recent Candidate Profile.
- You need to fill out the required fields in the Job Specific Information section every time you apply for a specific job. Additional fields are optional, and you are encouraged to fill them out as well to assist the Hiring Manager with their screening process. If you don't have time to complete your application in one sitting, you can save it for later. To find your application, click on the "Unsubmitted Applications" section at the bottom of the Candidate Profile.
