Applicants must first meet the minimum qualifications to be invited to take the examination. Those who pass the examination will then go on the hiring list. Additional examinations shall be administered as applications are received with results merged into one eligible list according to final ratings, pursuant to the Merit System Rules of the Civil Service Commission: Rule IV, Section 13 – Continuous Examinations.
The examination will consist of a Training and Experience Evaluation (T&E),
A Training and Experience Evaluation (T&E) is a written test where the applicant answers structured questions based on their previous experience and training or education. Please view this video for tips to help you fill out the T&E.
This is an online examination that will require a computer. If you do not have access to a computer, please notify Civil Service so that one may be provided. Computer reservations can also be made through your local public library.
Upon notification that you have passed through the minimum qualifications, you will receive a Personal History Statement to complete and submit along with the T&E. This documentation will be used to conduct a background investigation. It is a MANDATORY MINIMUM REQUIREMENT to complete the Personal History Statement. If the Personal History Statement is NOT received in Civil Service by the deadline given, your application will not be considered.
Please note: The email will come from City of Spokane ([email protected]).
