Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply for a City of Newton job?

The City utilizes ADP for all job postings unless otherwise mentioned in the job posting.

In order to submit an online application, you will need to log into the system, create a user ID and password, and then follow the online instructions.

Please note: you do need to have an email address to complete an online application. You can get a free email account online at Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo! mail. We do not endorse any of these providers specifically.

May I submit my resume in person or via mail instead of completing an online application?

No. The City does not accept any document presented to our offices in lieu of an online application.

How do I know that my online application has been submitted?

Applicants can confirm through the ADP website that their application was submitted by receiving a confirmation email or by logging into your ADP account.

How soon do you contact me about my application?

The urgency of filling each opening varies by position. We will always contact every applicant within a process, regardless of outcome. Contact methods used by our HR staff include phone, email or USPS letter.
