The first 175 applicants or applications received by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 9, 2018 (whichever occurs first) will be considered. Completed applications and typing certifications are only accepted online at www.calopps.org.  Resumes will not be accepted in lieu of a City employment application. 

Typing certification of 40 wpm net (5 minute test taken within the last 12 months) must be submitted with application.  Certificates will only be accepted from a recognized business, adult school, or employment agency. Online typing test results will not be accepted. Applications received without a valid typing certificate, or not meeting the minimum words per minute (40 wpm net) will not be considered and applicants will not be contacted to correct the deficiency.  At least fifty (50) of the most highly qualified applicants meeting the minimum qualifications will be subjected to a written test.  The most qualified candidates will be invited for an oral board interview, based on background and experience as evidenced by their application.  Oral interview is weighted 100%.  To be placed on an eligibility list, an applicant must receive a passing score of 70 or more from each panel member.

A thorough background check, as well as a physical, including a drug screen, psychological evaluation, and polygraph exam will be conducted on the top candidates prior to appointment consideration.  Failure to achieve a qualifying score on any portion of the examination process will eliminate a candidate from further consideration.
