Important Notes (2/20/07):
- The Application Form and Instructions are created in Adobe Acrobat format. In order
to use this version of the state application, you will need to DOWNLOAD and INSTALL
Adobe Acrobat Reader. The latest version of Acrobat Reader is available
free from
Adobe's website.
- Or, you can use one of our other state application processes which allows later
retrieval and/or revisions to information you have already filled-out. The links
for these other forms can be found on the
State Application page.
- The California State Personnel Board does not provide support for problems downloading/printing
using Adobe Acrobat. We will publish any known
printing problems with this form. You should print a test page (first page
of the form, partially filled out if you intend to fill out the entire form on your
computer and print it), and test that with your printer before spending a lot of
time filling out the form and then finding out that you have a printer problem.
If you want a blank application form, simply download and print the application.
- Be sure to download and read the instructions before entering your data on the application
as it contains valuable information on filling out the form.
- Carefully complete your application and submit it by the final filing date as indicated
on the exam and/or vacancy bulletin. Late applications are not accepted.
- At this time, you may not submit the Application Form electronically. You must still
print, sign, and send your application per the posting's instructions.
