Yes. South Carolina state agencies do not hold applications to review for future job openings. When an application is submitted, it is used for a particular job opening.

You may also request e-mail notification from the main jobs page by selecting a job category in which you may be interested in applying for a job. When a job is posted in that particular category, you will be sent an email to let you know of that posting, and you can then apply for that position.
