Most likely, your file has exceeded the maximum allowable size of 5MB. Resubmit with a smaller file size. If your file size is under this limit and you are still having issues, please contact NEOGOV applicant support at: 1-855-524-5627.

Yes, we do accept application from anywhere in the world. If you are an international candidate, please select "international" in the "State" drop down. It will then allow you to select from a list of countries and complete your address information.

The online system will automatically generate an email confirmation of successful submission. You may also login to your account to check on the status of your application.

It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that all materials are complete. Please read the job announcement and make sure you have attached all required materials.

Additional information provided which were not requested in the announcement will not be forwarded to the selection committee. Please do not send anything beyond what is requested in the announcement.

Unfortunately, you are unable to edit your application once it has been submitted. Please apply again and resubmit an application with your changes. Only the most recent version of your application will be forwarded on for review.

The minimum qualifications listed on the announcement comes from the Chancellor's office of the California Community Colleges and are non-negotiable. If your degree does not match exactly, please the Equicvalency process. MPC is not able to override the language of the Chancellor's office. We hope that having to do this extra step will not discourage you from applying.

The Equivalency form is for individuals who do not meet the specific qualifications listed on the announcement. This form's purpose is to illustrate how the degree you have is the same as one of the degrees listed on the announcement.  On one side of the form, list the degree requirements of the degree you possess. Then on the other side, list the degree requirements for one of the accepted degrees on the announcement (you can choose any accredited, U.S. college). Make it a clear comparison for each requirement and provide supporting documentation if needed. Remember, you are building a case for yourself so make it easy on the committee to see how you clearly meet the minimums. When you have completed this form, be sure to attach it to your application submission.

No, since you are submitting your transcripts as a .pdf attachment to your application, they are not official.  MPC uses your submission to reasonably confirm that you have earned a degree which qualifies you for the position so that we can consider your application. If you are being considered for a final interview we will require official, sealed transcripts at that time.

Foreign transcripts must be evaluated by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (http://www.aacrao.org/) at the applicant’s expense. AACRAO is a widely accepted evaluation and would likely be accepted at other community colleges and therefore likely worth the expense.

MPC is unable to sponsor visas. You must be eligible to work in the United States.

You will likely be notified within 1 month of the application deadline date either by phone or email. MPC makes every effort to promptly notify all applicants of their status as soon as a decision is made.

MPC provides 2 weeks’ notice to applicants who are requested to appear for an interview. We will work with you as best we can to find the most ideal time for your schedule within our interview schedules.

For applicants invited for interviews who must travel 50 miles or more for an interview, MPC will reiumburse up to $1000 for travel-related expenses.
