Employment Information

Most state jobs are divided into two categories – competitive and non-competitive.

• Competitive Jobs (exam required):
  • You must take and pass a civil service exam before applying for a competitive job. 
  • Applying for the specific position comes after you sign up, take, and receive your exam results - a process that takes at least 90 days.
• Non-Competitive Jobs (no exam required):
  • You must meet the qualifications for non-competitive jobs, but do not need to take an exam. These positions are generally filled by people with professional licenses, trade skills, or other specific qualifications.
