CERTIFICATION & SIGNATURE: I certify that the facts contained in this application (and accompanying resume, if any) are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that any false statement, omission, or misrepresentation on this application is sufficient cause for refusal to hire, or dismissal if I have been employed, no matter when discovered by Ouachita Independent Bank.

I hereby authorize Ouachita Independent Bank to thoroughly investigate my references, work records, education, credit history, criminal records, and other matters related to my suitability for employment. I further authorize my current and former employers to disclose to Ouachita Independent Bank any and all letters, reports, reviews, or other information pertaining to my employment with them, without giving me prior notice of such disclosure. In addition, I hereby release Ouachita Independent Bank, my current and former employers, and all other persons, corporations, partnerships, and associates from any and all claims, demands, or liabilities arising out of or in any way related to such disclosures.

I understand and agree that nothing contained in this application, or conveyed during my interview, is intended to create an employment contract, implied or explicit, between Ouachita Independent Bank and myself. I further understand and agree that if I am hired, my employment will be "at will" and without fixed term, and may be terminated at any time, with or without cause and without prior notice, at the option of either myself or Ouachita Independent Bank. No promises regarding employment have been made to me, and I understand that no such promise or guarantee is binding upon Ouachita Independent Bank unless made in writing and signed by the President/CEO of Ouachita Independent Bank.

If I am offered a position at Ouachita Independent Bank, I agree to submit to a pre-employment examination and drug test, if required, before starting work. If employed, I also agree to submit to drug and alcohol testing at any time deemed appropriate by Ouachita Independent Bank and as permitted by law. I consent to such tests, and I request that the examining doctor disclose to Ouachita Independent Bank the results of the examination, which results shall remain confidential and segregated from my personnel file. I understand that my employment or continued employment, to the extent permitted by law, may be contingent upon satisfactory drug and alcohol tests, and if I am hired, a condition of my employment will be that I abide by Ouachita Independent Bank's Drug and Alcohol policy.

I understand that filling out this form does indicate there is a position open and does not obligate Ouachita Independent Bank to hire me. If hired, I agree to abide by all bank work rules, policies, and procedures. Ouachita Independent Bank retains the right to revise its policies or procedures, in whole or in part, at any time.

My signature below certifies that I have read and agree to the above application statements, terms and conditions.
