While the application allows you to select yes or no for contacting a supervisor, the State of Alaska requires all applicants to sign a pre-employment certification at the time of interview, granting permission to contact current or former employers or persons who know you in order to obtain additional information or to verify information you have provided.
The State of Alaska does not typically contact current or former employers or persons who know you unless you are a top candidate. If you have a concern regarding a current or former employer or person who knows you, please discuss it with the hiring manager at the time of interview.
