Summary

TWC announced a redesigned WorkInTexas.com application that streamlines state job applications by requiring a resume and offering a resume‑creation wizard and AI resume builder; agency expects the change to simplify hiring for state agencies.

Mary York of the Workforce Development Division told commissioners that TWC launched a new state job application on WorkInTexas.com that removes outdated fields and asks applicants to upload a resume instead of completing lengthy form sections. The system includes a resume wizard and an artificial intelligence‑powered resume builder for applicants who do not already have a resume.

York said the change should make applying for state jobs simpler and more comparable to private‑sector hiring processes. "If an applicant does not have a current resume, the Work in Texas system offers the option to create a resume using a resume wizard or using an artificial intelligence powered resume builder," York said. TWC reported about 88,000 state job applications were submitted through WorkInTexas in 2025 and staff expect the new format to increase applicant numbers.

Commissioners thanked staff for the modernization and asked whether current applicants need to reapply; York said existing applications transmitted to state agencies remain valid, but applicants applying for new positions will complete the new application, and the system prepopulates profile fields where possible.
