The examination process will consist of an application screening (weight: pass/fail) based on the candidates' application and responses to the supplemental questions. Candidates who pass the application screening will be invited to a panel interview (weight: 100%) which may include a written and/or performance exercise(s) given before, during or after the interview. Because of this process, all applicants meeting the minimum requirements are not guaranteed advancement through any subsequent phase of the recruitment process. Depending on the number of applications, an application appraisal of training and experience may be used in place of examinations. All examinations will be given in County of San Mateo, California and all applicants must participate at their own expense.
