In an effort to make the most efficient use of our applicants' time, we have designed our Internet examination 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 examination 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).
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.
If you are not familiar with the Internet, you may seek assistance on how to use the Internet.
