General Information
Once you have established list eligibility for the classification (job title) for
which the examination was given, you can refer back to the examination bulletin
and your test results to determine the parameters of your list eligibility. Generally,
open tests administered by the State Personnel Board are considered servicewide
examinations and can be used for making hires by any state department. If you took
a test that was administered by another state department for its own use, you may
only be able to apply for jobs for that particular department. The hiring state
department will inform you of whether or not you are eligible to apply for its vacancy.
