How can I find out about employment opportunities with DHA?
Employment opportunity information may be obtained from:
Our web site job listings
Job postings in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution
Jobs postings on AJCjobs.com
All postings are updated as positions become available.
When does recruitment for posted positions end?
We typically post positions for two weeks. If there is an exception to this length of time, it will be included in the position advertisement. DHA repost's jobs if an insufficient number of qualified applicants have applied for an opening. Once a sufficient applicant pool is created, no further applications are accepted.
How do I apply for employment with DHA?
You may apply one of four ways:
- By emailing a cover letter and resume to our Job line
- By faxing a resume and a cover letter to (404) 270-2123.
- By picking up an application at DHA's Central Office, located at 750 Commerce Drive, Suite 110, Decatur, GA.
- By mailing a cover letter and resume to Decatur Housing Authority, 750 Commerce Drive, Suite 110, Decatur, GA. 30030.
DHA accepts applications only for posted positions. Applications must be submitted before the closing date listed in the job posting.
What happens after I submit my application?
The application is forwarded to the Personnel Manager. The Personnel Manager reviews all applications received and then forwards the qualified resumes to the appropriate manager for further screening. After the manager identifies the applicants to be interviewed, the selected candidates will be contacted to arrange interview appointments. Once a selection is made, all interviewed candidates will be notified of the decision. If you are not contacted then you did not meet our qualifications. We only contact persons we are interviewing.
How can I find out about the status of my application?
Because of the large number of applications received, DHA is not able to notify an applicant as to the receipt of their application, if it was received by the closing date, or if someone else was selected for the opening. Only interviewed candidates are notified of the decision.
How long will my application remain active?
Applications are kept on file for one year. During that period, you do not have to submit a new application to apply for any other job posting. Instead, express your interest in writing to notify our Personnel Manager via email that you would like to be considered for another opening. An applicant is responsible for contacting us if they wish to be considered for a specific opening.
DHA may contact qualified applicants to inquire if they have an interest in a particular job opening.
