Internet Exam Process Information


In an effort to make the most efficient use of our applicants' time, we have designed our Internet exam process to use the State Application.

Since the State has an application that can be completed on the Internet, stored on CalHR's server, and printed when needed, we have decided to use the State Application as part of the Internet exam process and eliminate some work for the applicant.

Applicants should be aware that when using the State Application there are limitations to some of the information fields.

Those limitations are:

Note: The City must use alpha characters only (i.e., if you live in 29 Palms, instead of using digits you must spell out the words Twenty-Nine Palms).

ACCESS TO THE EXAM:

The Internet Application and Examination process is a self-paced process, and there is no time limit for completion. For planning purposes, this process will take approximately one-half to one hour to complete. Please note that each examination page will time out after twenty minutes. Unless you select continue and move to the next page, your responses will not be saved. We recommend using Chrome, Firefox, or Edge for optimal performance when accessing the examination.

If you are not familiar with the Internet, you may seek assistance on how to use the Internet.

The California Department of Human Resources recognizes that problems may occur with Internet systems while a candidate is in the middle of submitting application materials. Should you encounter computer problems while submitting your application materials, simply log back on with your User I.D. and password to continue. In the event that you encounter problems with the Internet that you are unable to resolve, you may:

  1. CALL the CalHR Service Center (CalCareers) at (866) 844-8671 during regular business hours (Monday - Friday) to receive instructions on how to continue.
  2. SUBMIT a request for assistance, providing the following information:

Such requests may be submitted either in writing or by e-mail.

Written requests to re-submit application materials should be mailed to:

California Department of Human Resources
1515 S Street, Suite 400 North Building
Sacramento, CA 95811

E-mail requests to re-submit application materials should be sent via the Internet to CalCareer@calhr.ca.gov.

Providing false information on a State examination is a violation of State law, and could result in an individual being removed from an employment list and banned from future employment with the State. Applicants successful in this examination and called for a hiring interview will be required to bring documentation of all education and experience claimed on the examination questions.
