[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 669312, member: 1963"] Yes, they opened testing for a list of positions that they anticipated openings for. Based on my test scores combined with added points for prior experience and education, I was placed on an interview list for when those openings became available. I was then interviewed and interviewed and interviewed....and eventually hired. Luckily, I very nearly aced the actual Civil Service exam as I was competing against individuals who had preferences for military service, military disabilities, etc. My late husband very nearly wound up working for the State of IL department of Corrections fresh out of the Army based on a combination of test scores and preferences due to his being a disabled vet. He was not able to pass the pre-placement physical. In retrospect, I am glad he didn't. Not because he was ill, but because it gave him the reason he needed to follow his dreams and become a chef courtesy of the GI Bill. [/QUOTE]
