Getting Started

To apply for Metro positions, you must create an online profile.  Before you begin, review the information below to get you started. Please also refer to our FAQs for additional information.

Important Things to Remember:

• Metro no longer accepts paper applications.  All applications must be submitted through the Metro Jobs system.
• Have current and prior employment information and education details in front of you before you begin.  It is critical to include experience and skills relevant to the position for which you are applying.
• Allow sufficient time to complete the application, as the online application cannot be saved until it is complete.  This process takes approximately 30 minutes.
• The system automatically times out after 20 minutes of inactivity.  If this happens, your information will be lost.  Your application is not saved until you have clicked the “Submit” button on the last page.
• It is recommended that you complete your profile before you apply for jobs to ensure that the information that you submit is accurate.  Incomplete profiles may not be considered.
• Do not use your Internet Back button. This will cause the page to expire and your application will not be saved.  To toggle between pages, be sure to use the Next and Previous buttons at the bottom of each page.
• Please add PS_HRMS@wmata.com to your trusted email recipient list to ensure successful delivery of any email sent from our system.  Please check your email account regularly as email may be the primary means of correspondence for some positions.
• Applications must be submitted on line by midnight of the closing date on the posting.
• Metro reserves the right to cancel or end early any posted position.
• Posted salary ranges and offers are subject to union contract agreements and Metro salary administration guidelines.
