Should I send my application / resume directly to the City Department where the vacancy exists? Will this give me a better chance at an interview?

No. All applications and resumes must be submitted to the Human Resources Department for consideration via the online application program. Applications and resumes received by departments are forwarded to Human Resources. The additional step may result in an application being received after the closing date.
