The number of candidates allowed to compete in successive parts of examinations may be limited to a specific number of candidates with the highest scores on the preceding parts of examination.
Eligible Lists.
Eligible lists contain names, in descending order of scores, of applicants who have passed the examination process. As vacancies occur, the names available at that time are submitted (certified) to the employing department. That department interviews and makes a selection.

Driver's License.
A valid, appropriate California driver's license may be required for some positions. An employee may be required to use his/her own automobile in the course of employment. If so, there will be compensation at an established mileage reimbursement rate.
Public Employee Oath.
The California State Constitution requires that all public employees, before performing their duties, take and sign an oath or affirmation to support, defend, and bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitutions of the United States and the State of California. California law also requires that all public employees be declared disaster service workers, and as such, may be assigned disaster service activities during natural, man made, or war-caused emergencies.
