employers. Applicants

and quality of experience, education and training relevant to the duties of the position. An automated scoring system based on the on-line application process is used. Before any certificate can
be issued to the selecting official, the resume is reviewed carefully
by an HR Specialist to assure that (a) minimum qualification
requirements are met, (b) the resume supports the answers
provided to the job-specific questions and (c) that your resume addresses experience and education relevant to this
position. To preview questions please click here. The
