TESTING INFORMATION

Picture identification isrequired for entry to all tests.

Please leave cell phones, personal data assistants, beepers and other communication devices in your vehicle during all examinations. Such devices are not allowed in the examination room.

EDUCATION RELATED INFORMATION

Educational requirements are met only through accredited institutions. The institutions must be accredited by an agency recognized by the United States Department of Education. Foreign degrees must be converted.

In order for education points to be credited, original education, certification and similar documents are required with employment applications. It is best to provide original transcripts in case specific courses are needed. It is also beneficial to bring certificates and diplomas for short courses completed, such as software, leadership courses, etc.

If your college diploma does not specify what your major field of study was, please submit an official transcript. Education points may be awarded, in many cases, only if the specific degree is indicated.

It is best to include all levels of higher education documentation because credit may be given for a specific bachelor’s degree that would not be evident on a master’s diploma.

Even if you did not complete college, it is still beneficial to submit an official transcript of completed courses because partial credit may be awarded.

EMPLOYMENT RELATED

Work history information is used to determine whether you qualify for the job for which you are applying. For some jobs, this section will also be scored to determine part of or your entire grade. To receive credit, you should fill out all blocks for each job listed.

List all periods of employment, beginning with your present or most recent employer and working back.

Title of position held should be your official title and not a working title or multiple titles.

It is especially important that you fill out the beginning and ending dates (month/year) and the average number of hours worked per week for each job listed. If the hours varied, list a range such as “5-15” hours, or “20-40” hours. If you often worked overtime, “40+” is acceptable in the hour’s box.

If you held different jobs while working for the same employer (e.g. promotions), treat each change as a separate job using separate blocks and giving specific information for each change.

Also, describe in detail the specific duties beginning with your primary duties. Job descriptions should include types of software used, specific equipment operated, languages programmed, customer service specifics and other such details. Preprinted job descriptions are not accepted in place of description of duties on the application form since they do not necessarily reflect your particular position.

Where you have held supervisory positions, titles of people supervised, not just the number of people, should be indicated in the “number and job title of employees you supervised” box.

Check you’re starting and ending dates for feasibility. Look for errors such as employed from 2/6/87-1/4/82 or a date of 14/2/93, or 6/8/19.

Please do not use abbreviations, initials or military jargon when describing your duties or listing your job title.

Include specific details such as software used, equipment operated, types of records maintained, etc.

If you cannot fit all the jobs you have held on this application form, copy any blank job page.
