Subject of Examination: There will be no written test. The Department of Civil Service has developed a selection process that will match your education and experience to a specific position that needs to be filled. No written test and no test date are involved. If you meet the "Minimum Qualifications," you will be required to complete an education and experience questionnaire online. Your answers to the education and experience questionnaire will be matched against criteria identified for current vacancies. You will be rated on your education and experience, which will be weighted according to the requirements of the specific position to be filled. Your rating thus may vary when being scored for different jobs. Ratings will be based on such factors as: categories of information technology experience; the duration of each type of experience; types of tasks previously performed within the sphere of information technology; major field(s) and level(s) of Computer Science and non-Computer Science education; and certificates obtained. It is important to note that your ranking will vary widely, depending on the nature of a given vacancy. You may be considered and called to interviews for several different positions depending on your education and experience. It will not be possible for the Department of Civil Service to define your rank for any given position in advance of an agency's request for a list of candidates available for appointment. Final scores will be based on the ratings received on the evaluation of education and experience. Your final score must be 70 or higher in order to pass. Rank on the eligible list will be determined after adding any wartime veterans' and Civil Service Law Section 85-a credits to your final passing score.
