IMPORTANT - Certification of Applicant

The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (“CVAG”) takes very seriously false or misleading information provided by applicants on a job application, resume, and other application related materials, including statements made in job interviews. Any representation made by a job applicant that contains false or misleading information, or omits significant information, will result in CVAG’s refusal to hire the applicant based upon disqualification or, if discovered after employment commences, will be grounds for immediate, for-cause termination of employment. My initials below, and signature on this application, certify that this application was completed by me, and that all information contained in my application is true and correct.	---

In addition, I hereby agree to release all persons, schools, and employers of any and all claims, demands or liabilities arising out of, or in any way related to such disclosure. If CVAG, in the course of conducting a background check, obtains information about me that is a matter of public record, I understand that I am entitled to a copy of the related public record(s), as required by California law.	---
I understand that nothing contained in the application, or conveyed during any interview which may be granted or during my employment, if hired, is intended to create an employment contract between me and CVAG. In addition, I understand and agree that if I am employed, my employment is for not definite or determinable period, and that no promises or representations contrary to the foregoing are binding on CVAG unless made in writing and signed by me and CVAG’s designated representative.	---
