Job Description

The Department of Public Safety at the University of Southern Maine is hiring! Join our team as a Police Officer. The Department of Public Safety has a strong commitment to the community policing and problem-solving philosophy. In addition to performing general policing, safety and emergency response functions, our members enjoy the satisfaction of a close working relationship with our community. We are looking for team members who understand and support our community values: Respect & Care, Integrity, Equity and Responsiveness.

The University of Maine System has excellent, unmatched benefits including:

  • Tuition waivers for yourself, your spouse and/or your eligible dependents

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
