Are resumes placed in a rank order on the eligible list?
There is no attempt to rank applicants on this list. The eligible list is simply a pool of applicants from which county departments will consider applicants. Each time there is a vacancy, staff from hiring department will compare specific job criteria against the pool of applicants for the appropriate job category. This is done using a computerized system that has extracted skill and education information from your resume. You are more likely to be considered for a position if your skills and education match closely with the skills required for the particular vacancy. Therefore, it is very important to have a comprehensive resume which describes your work experience in detail. It is also important to renew your eligibility every three months. The resumes of those applicants whose skills most closely match the job criteria are provided to the hiring manager for further consideration. At that time, the hiring manager will determine which applicants will be contacted for an interview.
