Current Employment Opportunities    
Employment Applications  During the onset of the difficult economic times, the Village of Skokie implemented a hiring freeze where vacant positions are not filled.  The hiring freeze has been in effect since December 2008.  This is one of many cost saving strategies the Village has implemented in order to reduce spending.  Only on an exception basis will the Village fill vacant positions.  If a hiring opportunity exists, the position and qualifications will be listed below.  The hiring freeze is in effect until further notice and is predicated on the economy and ultimately the Village's financial status.
