3. After selecting those departments of interest to you, contact those supervisors using the requested method of correspondence (phone, email, send resume, etc.)

You must complete certain payroll forms and present certain identification documents before you can begin working. YOU MUST HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY CARD ISSUED BY THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION TO WORK.
