Job Search Tips

Verify the actual worksite municipality—“Somerville Circle” jobs are often in Raritan or Bridgewater.
Check the employer’s current career page before relying on an aggregator listing.
For county or municipal employment, follow application procedures and filing deadlines exactly.
Downtown businesses may post openings directly in storefronts or through the Downtown Somerville Alliance job board.
Never pay to apply for a legitimate job and be cautious with text-only interviews.
