REISSUED ANNOUNCEMENT
Applications will be accepted year-round. However, names will be added to the list three times: in March, August and November.* Therefore, in order to be placed on the list on the next available date, applications must be received by the last business day in February, July and October, respectively. Incomplete applications will not be rated until they are complete, thereby delaying their inclusion on the list.
NOTE: The Commission reserves the right to alter any and all aspects of this examination, including but not limited to, adding names to the list and re-filing and eligibility time frames.
Names of successful candidates will be certified on the eligible list in score order, regardless of when the application was rated. Names of successful candidates will be removed from the eligible list at the time of appointment to a full-time position or two years after being placed on the list.
Candidates may re-file for this examination one year after being placed on the list. However, a candidate can only have one score on the list. Only the candidate's higher score, whether it's the existing score or the newer score, will appear on the list. If a candidate's new score is higher, then the existing score will be removed from the list and the new score will be put on. The new score will remain until the candidate is appointed or two years transpire. (If you were removed from the eligible list as a result of being appointed to a position, you may refile at any time after that appointment.)
If the candidate's new score is lower than the existing score, then the existing score will remain on the list until the candidate is appointed or two years (from the original date of that score being added to the list) transpires. Once the existing, higher score is removed from the list, the newer, lower score will be added. The newer, lower score will remain on the list until the candidate is appointed or two years (from the date that application was rated) transpires.
SALARY: Varies according to jurisdiction. Recent appointments have been made in the $43,191 to $47,500 salary range. These are typical starting salaries.
