The city of Miami has opened a job opportunity to hire a Human Resources technician, with a annual salary of $52,719.26 and not requiring a university degree as a mandatory qualification.
The opportunity may interest Cuban residents in South Florida with administrative experience, although applicants must meet specific requirements and submit their documents correctly to avoid being excluded from the process.
According to the official announcement published on Monday, the position corresponds to Human Resources Technician I within the Human Resources Department of the municipal government.
This is a full-time position, identified by the call number 1313-20261019-SUPP, with a deadline for submitting applications on Friday, October 30, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Miami time.
The announced compensation is approximately 4,393 dollars per month before taxes and other deductions. This figure corresponds to the annual salary published by the municipal administration, not the net amount the worker will receive.
The responsibilities of the position include managing employee files, reviewing administrative documentation, supporting the hiring processes, and providing guidance to municipal employees regarding benefits, training opportunities, and internal procedures.
The selected individual will also be able to assist in coordinating interviews, organizing training activities, and preparing reports related to the city's human resources programs.
Other functions include reviewing job applications, assisting in the preparation of job descriptions, keeping personnel files up to date, and ensuring that administrative documents comply with the relevant standards.
The announcement describes the position as a technical role that works under the supervision of professionals in the department and, under certain circumstances, may temporarily take on supervisory tasks for the support administrative staff.
One of the most important aspects is that a university degree is not required to submit the application. However, that does not mean that anyone without experience can apply for the job.
The minimum requirements set by the City of Miami are:
- Education: high school diploma or its equivalent.
- Experience: at least two years of work in human resources.
The announcement also includes an equivalent combination of education and post-secondary experience, in accordance with the conditions set by the employer.
Those who wish to use this alternative must provide proof of higher education through academic documents accepted by the city, such as certificates of at least 60 university credits or higher education degrees, as applicable.
The experience in customer service is considered favorable, and having worked in the public sector is desirable, but neither of those two conditions is listed as an additional mandatory requirement.
For Cubans who studied on the Island or in other countries, academic documentation deserves special attention.
The city of Miami requires that foreign diplomas or degrees be accompanied by a credential evaluation report issued by an authorized entity that establishes their equivalence within the U.S. educational system.
The announcement explicitly states that the translation of a foreign diploma, by itself, does not replace the equivalency evaluation.
Among the entities that can carry out this procedure are accredited American universities and agencies belonging to organizations such as the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) and the Association of International Credential Evaluators (AICE).
The municipal administration also includes other recognized professional organizations, according to the conditions outlined in the announcement.
Applicants must carefully review the requirements before requesting an evaluation, as not all academic documents and not all translation services are accepted for the validation of foreign studies.
Another important aspect is that it's not enough to have the documents saved in the GovernmentJobs profile.
The city requires that the corresponding files be reattached to each job application. The system may retain documents from previous applications, but these do not automatically transfer to a new application.
Therefore, a person who meets the education and experience requirements may be declared ineligible if they omit the required documents or submit them in an incorrect format.
The files must be readable and sent along with the electronic form before the registration deadline.
The call for applications also states that work experience must be explained in detail within the application itself.
Submitting only a curriculum or résumé does not replace the official form. The city of Miami indicates that resumes will not be reviewed in place of the information that the applicant must complete in the system.
This means that candidates must describe their previous jobs, duties, work periods, and any other information needed to demonstrate that they meet the requirements of the position.
They should also provide a valid email address to receive notifications related to the selection process.
The current call is a supplemental publication of a hiring process that was initially open between April 6 and April 17, 2026.
According to the official announcement, those who submitted their application during that period were deemed ineligible and must now reapply if they wish to be considered, provided they meet the minimum requirements.
The fact that they participated in April does not guarantee that the previous candidacy will be automatically reconsidered.
The new publication is identified as Open/Non-Competitive, which means it is not advertised as an exclusive call for municipal employees.
However, the city establishes certain preferences during the selection process, applicable among candidates who fall within the same classification band resulting from the interview process.
The announced order of preference is as follows: eligible veterans, active employees of the city of Miami, residents of the municipality, and finally, other candidates.
Residents of the city who wish to take advantage of this preference must present two accepted documents as proof of residence, both when applying for the job and during the interview.
Accepted options include a Florida driver's license, recent utility bills, valid rental agreements, vehicle registrations, and certain tax documents.
These preferences do not mean that residents from other municipalities are excluded. The call for applications allows other candidates who meet the required conditions to participate.
It is important to distinguish this process from the announcements published by Miami-Dade County, as the city of Miami and Miami-Dade County are different administrations, each with its own departments, portals, and procurement procedures.
At the beginning of October, Miami-Dade County announced various public job opportunities in areas such as maintenance, administration, technology, and airport services, each with specific requirements and closing dates.
Subsequently, on October 6, other announcements from the county government were released, including administrative and technical positions.
