Qualified applicants will be reviewed with the department hiring manager. Candidates whose qualifications best meet the department's needs will be contacted for testing and / or interviews. The process may take 2 to 4 weeks from the closing date to the scheduling of testing and/or interviews depending on the number of applications received and other factors. Only candidates selected for testing and/or interviews will be contacted.
