County Human Resources staff will evaluate your application against requirements for the positions you have applied for.
If your application meets basic requirements, you will be invited to take assessments to measure your work-related competencies. These assessments will vary based on the requirements of the position.
Candidates who are successful on the exam are "banded."County Departments select candidates from the highest scoring group of candidates. Candidates are eligible for selection in Band order.
An "Exam" or "Examination" refers to the process to assess and rank candidates who are applying for a County position. Depending on the position, an Exam may consist of a written test, interview, or performance test, along with rating your experience and training.
When the County opens an Examination for a job, it means we are accepting applications for that Job Description until the "Closing Date," which is the deadline for submitting an application. There may be multiple positions available throughout the County for a particular Examination.
Once you submit your application, it will be screened to determine if it meets the qualification requirements for the job. If it meets those requirements, you will be invited to take assessments that will measure your job related competencies. Typical assessments are written tests, performance tests, and interviews. If you are successful on the assessments, you will be placed on an eligible list of candidates from which departments can hire. The length of time it takes for this process varies, but you will be informed via notification letters of your current status. If you have questions about the current status of your application, please feel free to contact the analyst listed on the bulletin.
Eligible lists for County positions are typically good for up to 12 months. County Departments can select candidates from these lists from “reachable” Bands which include the highest scoring group of candidates remaining on the list.
You can continue to apply for other positions in the County while you are on a Candidate List.
If you don't have a computer and would like to apply online, you may visit one of the many locations where computers are available, including your local library, to access the online Job Application system.
Applications are accepted for County positions only when a job announcement or “Bulletin” is posted, announcing that applications are being accepted. Most job announcements only accept applications filed online, but some still accept paper applications submitted in person. Follow the filing instructions in the job announcement to submit your application.
Examinations for particular types of jobs usually have deadline dates for submission of applications. This means that we must receive your application in the designated location by the deadline or “closing date” or your application will be rejected as late. For paper applications, a postmark by the closing date is not sufficient to meet the submission deadline.
