According to Cook County Interim Administrator Rena Rogers, Starting Saturday, March 7 and continuing for ten days, the first round of hiring will commence. Applicants will receive a phone call from a 218 area code. The first people called will be the ones indicating they can work full time, then they will work their way down the list of applicants. If you don’t answer, they will leave a message with a return phone number and a job code. When you call back, you need to reference the job code.
The work in Cook County is scheduled to occur between May 1 and July 31. Training will be in April or early May. Training is for six days.
