How do
I qualify for the job?
The
minimum requirements are listed in the “Employment Standards” section
for the job bulletin. Read the requirements carefully. A position may
require college course work, a specific type and amount of experience,
a license or certification, or simply skill, knowledge and ability in
specific fields. A Senior Personnel Analyst will review your
application for completeness and fulfillment of minimum requirements.
You should include pertinent information about your qualifications,
such as your education, experience (volunteer or paid), licenses,
certificates and special skills on your application.
How
long does this process take?
In most
cases, you should receive initial contact by mail from the Employee
Relations Department within two weeks following the application
deadline for recruitment. The notice will inform you when and where
the first examination will take place if your application is accepted.
If your application is declined, you will be notified by mail. You
should be notified of your final standing in the recruitment within
two weeks of the last test in the process.
What
types of examinations are given?
Testing
may consist of one of the following or a combination of any of the
following: a written exam, an oral exam, a performance exam or any
other test deemed appropriate. The City of Montebello is an equal
opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of
disability. Individuals with disabilities that require accommodation
in the application or testing process, may be required to provide the
Employee Relations Department, no later than the filing date, with
documentation regarding the need for accommodation.
What
happens after I take the examination(s)?
If the
position is part of the City’s Civil Service classified positions, you
are placed on an “eligibility list” in the order of your total
examination score, including veteran’s service credits. You will be
notified through mail of your score if you pass all phases of the
testing, Employee Relations will not give out the information over the
telephone. You will also receive a letter if you are not successful in
the examination process. The eligibility list is valid for a minimum
of one year, unless the list is exhausted. Certain positions for
which the City of Montebello recruits fall outside of the Civil
Service process and may not utilize the above examination process.
Such positions include hourly and unclassified jobs.
What
should I do if called for a second interview?
If you
are called, by the City, for a second interview with the hiring
department, you should remain calm, be prompt and dress appropriately.
You may also want to review the job bulletin to prepare yourself for
the interview.
What
happens if I am selected?
If
selected, you must successfully complete a background investigation
(including Department of Justice fingerprint inspection) and a
physical examination, which includes drug testing. At the time of
appointment, you must have the required proof of authorization to work
in the United States.
