Based upon a review of the application materials, the most qualified candidates will be invited to participate in the examination process, which may consist of an oral examination scheduled for a date to be determined.  (Note: The examination process may be changed as deemed necessary by the Director of Human Resources).

SELECTION PROCESS
Candidates who receive a passing score on the examination will be placed on an eligibility list for up to one year, in accordance with the City's Civil Service Rules and Administrative Policies.
