Chief of Examinations

The work involves overall administration of the Examinations and Recruitment Divisions of the Department of Civil Service. Under general direction, the incumbent directs the activities of a professional, technical and clerical staff, personally participates in the more complex problems, and represents the Department at meetings relating to legal mandates imposed by the Federal Justice Department. The work is performed in conformance with Civil Service Law and the policies of the County Personnel Officer, and requires the exercise of considerable initiative and independent judgment on technical and procedural matters. Work is reviewed by the County Personnel Officer through reports and conferences. Does related work as required.

To be eligible, a candidate must now be serving and have served on a continuous basis with permanent or contingent permanent competitive status as a Principal Personnel Analyst for at least two (2) years in the jurisdiction in which the candidate seeks promotion immediately preceding the written examination date. Provisional time immediately preceding a permanent appointment to the same title(s) will be credited.

There will be no written or oral test for this examination. Candidates who meet the minimum qualifications will receive a rating based on an evaluation of their training and experience against the background of the duties of the position. Please prepare a complete summary of your relevant education and experience for this position. In your summary of training include a copy of your college transcript(s) showing all college degrees. In your summary of experience describe fully each relevant position you have held during the past ten (10) years. State the type of organization and your place within it. Give a clear and precise description of your principal duties and responsibilities. Include the percent of work time you normally devote to each. If you have held more than one title with the same employer, describe each title separately. Applications may be supplemented by a resume, but submission of a resume does not relieve a candidate of the responsibility for completing all sections of the official application. To receive credit for experience on a job, basic information such as your title, name and address of employer, title of supervisor, hours in the work week, dates of employment (including month and year), etc., must be shown. Be as concrete and specific as possible in your summary of training and experience; ambiguity and vagueness will not be resolved in favor of the candidate. Additional information concerning a candidate’s training and experience will not be accepted after the application has been rated.
