Employment Selection Process The employment selection process for Senior Office Technician consists

The computer based assessment is a common assessment for the SOS

clerical series. Therefore, if you have applied and recently tested for this

position and/or other clerical positions, and have not met the 30 days

re-take policy, you may not be able to re-test. We will certify your prior

scores. Even if you take the test, the scores will be invalid.

The computerized performance assessment (Skill Check) will assess

your proficiency in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook and computerized

data entry skills.

You will be invited to take these assessments which will be conducted

remotely and all applications will be required to submit a Candidate

Confidentiality Form prior to testing. Failure to submit these forms before

the given deadline will result in the withdrawal of your application from

the selection process.

Your test scores from these assessments will be banked and used for

final calculation.

You must receive PASSING SCORES on all TEST MODULES, for all the

assessments, to remain in the selection process.

Candidates who receive a failing score on any test module will NOT be

eligible to move forward in the selection process.

Also, depending on the positions you applied for, scores for some

modules may not be applied towards your final calculation.

Note: if you have existing scores for this assessment that are less than a

year old, at the time of final scoring, those scores are valid as well and

could be applied as your final score if they are higher.

The scored questionnaire, which you will be completing as part of the

application process, will be worth 100% of a candidate's overall score

and will be used to rank order candidates on the resulting eligibility list.

Therefore, when completing the questionnaire, please make sure you

provide detailed responses to all the questions/statements.

If you are successful on all the assessments and meet the minimum

education and experience requirement, you will be added to the eligibility

list provided you submit the High School diploma when requested during
