<p>You may be asking yourself what fantasy football has to do with state of California jobs. If you are, the answer is "almost nothing." But we think it's fun. And, we've spent the last couple of years playing with coworkers while out of the office. It was a great way to keep in touch with office friends during the COVID era, and we thought some readers might enjoy it, too.</p>
<p>So, whether you're a seasoned fantasy-pro or thinking about playing for the first time, this list should help you build a solid team. If you don't play already, think about starting a league with those co-workers you haven't gotten to interact with over the last couple of years.</p>

This article looks at one of the <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/04/vacation-and-paid-time-off.html" target="_blank">types of paid leave</a> State of California employees are entitled to.</p>
<h3 class="h3classic">What is Bereavement Leave</h3>
<p>Bereavement leave is a special type of job-protected time off following the death of a qualified family member. This can be a family member related by blood, marriage, or adoption. Bereavement leave can also be taken for anyone living in your immediate household, whether they are related or not. We'll go into more detail about who is considered a qualified family member later in this article.</p>
<h2 class="h2classic">State of California Bereavement Leave</h2>
<p>Beginning January 1, 2023 there were some changes to bereavement leave for State of California employees. That updated policy can be <a href="https://hrmanual.calhr.ca.gov/Home/ManualItem/1/2115" target="_blank">found here</a>. All employees in California, not just those that work for the State, can take up to five days of leave following the death of a covered family member. This means that an employer cannot deny an employee's request to take this time off for bereavement. </p>
<p>But, while law mandates that employees be allowed 5 days off after the death of a family member, it doesn't require it to be paid time off. Whether or not its paid will depend on your employer. The State of California, as an employer, does provide paid bereavement leave to its employees.</p>
<p>So, all State of California employees are entitled to take 5 days of leave following the death of a family member. But the number of those days that will paid will depend on whether you are a rank and file or an excluded employee and the specific <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/11/state-of-california-bargaining-units.html" target="_blank">bargaining unit contract</a> you're covered by.</p>
<p>If you're needing to take bereavement leave, refer to your bargaining unit's contract and talk to your HR department about what leave benefits you're able to use.</p>
<p>Bereavement leave is different for <i>rank & file employees</i> then it is for excluded employees. We'll take a look at the benefits for rank & file employees first.</p>
<article>
<h3 class="h3classic">Bereavement Leave for State Rank & File</h3>
<p>State of California rank & file employees are entitled to 5 days of paid bereavement for the death of a qualifying person. A qualifying person includes a spouse, domestic partner, child, parent, parent-in-law, sibling, grandparent, and grandchild. The 5 days of leave do not be use consecutively but they must be used within 3 months following the death.</p><p>Employees who have worked for the state for less than 30 days are not eligible for bereavement leave.</p>
<p>Nearly all California State rank & file employees are eligible for 3 days of paid leave for bereavement. But, as previously discussed, the amount of bereavement leave that will be
paid will depend on the bargaining unit contract you're covered by. It's also important to check your bargaining contract because the kind of required documentation can differ among the units. Some contracts also have stipulations that allow for taking extra time if the family member lives far away.</p>
<p>For the 2 days that rank & file State employees are entitled to take off that aren't covered by bereavement leave pay, there are a couple of options available. The first option is to take a dock. That is a taking an unpaid absence from work. The second is to use accrued vacation or sick leave.</p>
<p>In summary, all state employees are entitled to take 5 days of leave following the death of a qualified family member. Most of those employees are also eligible to use paid bereavement leave for 3 of those 5 days. The 2 remaining days of available bereavement leave can either be unpaid (docked) or paid using accrued time off.</p>
</article>
<article>
<h3 class="h3classic">Bereavement Leave for Excluded State employees</h3>
<article>
Bereavement leave for excluded employees is similar to that of rank & file employees. Like all State employees they are entitled to take 5 days of leave following the death of a qualified family member. Three of those days can be paid with two additional days available to take off which can be unpaid or covered using accrued leave benefits. Some other small differences exist for excluded employees, but the general rules are the same. You can refer to the full, <a href="https://hrmanual.calhr.ca.gov/Home/ManualItem/1/2115" target="_blank">updated CalHR bereavement leave policy here</a>.

<p>You may be asking yourself what fantasy football has to do with state of California jobs. If you are, the answer is "almost nothing." But we think it's fun. And, we've spent the last couple of years playing with coworkers while out of the office. It was a great way to keep in touch with office friends during the COVID era, and we thought some readers might enjoy it, too.</p>
<p>So, whether you're a seasoned fantasy-pro or thinking about playing for the first time, this list should help you build a solid team. If you don't play already, think about starting a league with those co-workers you haven't gotten to interact with over the last couple of years.</p>

Getting a State of California job can be a complicated process but the <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/" target="_blank">California Job Blog</a> has the information you need to get started.</p>
<p>We have more in-depth articles on each of these topics and we hope you'll check them out. We think working for the State of California is great, and our goal is to help others find their dream job.</p>
<br />
<h2>Quick Guide to Getting a State of California Job</h2>
<br />
<h3 class="h2classic">1) Set Up Your CalCareers Account</h3>
<p>CalCareers (Jobs.ca.gov) is where your job search should begin. CalCareers is the State of California's site for everything job related. Here you'll find job postings and exam bulletins, info about State of California employee benefits and much more.</p>
<p>To be able to apply for the jobs you find on CalCareers, you need to have an account. We recommend <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/04/your-calcareer-account-step-1-for-state.html" target="_blank">creating your CalCareer</a> account as the first step in your job search.</p>
<br />
<h3 class="h2classic">2) Build Your Job Application</h3>
<p>After your CalCareer account is set up, you should work on building your State Application (STD 678). You'll use your application to apply for vacant positions and exams. After you create your application template it will be saved in your account, to use each time you find an opening you want to apply for.</p>
<p>In that you'll be using your saved application repeatedly, it's important you build it to be as robust and high-quality as possible. Your application is how hiring departments determine if you are qualified for a position. We have a great article about creating a <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/10/the-state-job-application-std-678.html" target="_blank">perfect state application</a> that can be a big help in your job search. </p>
<br />
<h3 class="h2classic">3) Take Exams</h3>
<p>The State of California hiring process begins with taking exams. By taking, and passing, exams, candidates gain eligibility for classifications. On CalCareers, there is an <a href="https://www.calcareers.ca.gov/CalHRPublic/Search/ExamSearch.aspx" target="_blank">Exam/Assessment search function</a> that allows jobseekers to search for available exams.</p>
<p>Exams come in several formats. Some are available to take online, but other still require in-person attendance. The exam bulletin will provide complete instructions on the format of the exam and how to complete it.</p>
<p>If you are logged in to you CalCareers account, on the left side of your page you will see menu with a section labeled <i>Exam/Assessment Records</i>. If you click on this, you can see the eligibility records for exams you have passed. You can now start applying for vacant positions.</p>
<br />
<h3 class="h2classic">4) Apply for Vacancies</h3><p>From CalCareers, you can search for that classification, or you can click on <i>Advanced Job Search</i> and search for the classification in the <i>Advanced Filters</i> section. We recommend doing it this way to get better search results.</p>
<p>If, for example, have taken and passed the <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/10/the-associate-governmental-program.html" target="_blank">Associate Governmental Program Analyst (AGPA)</a> exam, click on <i>Advanced Job Search</i>, scroll down to the <i>Advanced Filters</i> section, click on the menu for <i>Classification</i> and select Associate Governmental Program Analyst. Now, when you click the <i>Search Jobs</i> button in the bottom right corner of the page, you will see all the vacancies for the AGPA classification.</p>
<p>Depending on the classification, you might see just a few or maybe hundreds of vacant positions. AGPA is one of the most common state of California Classifications, so you will probably see a lot. From this search results page, you might not be able to tell much about the specifics of each job. Although the <i>Working Title</i> might give you a clue. If you click on <i>View Job Posting</i> you'll be able to see the official job posting, which will have a full description about the position. </p>
<p>Also, on this bulletin you will see an <i>Apply Now</i> button. If after reading the details about position you want to apply, click this and you will be on your way to submitting your application.</p>
<br />
<h2 class="h2classic">Summary</h2>
<p>So, what have we covered in this article? First, we talked about setting up your CalCareer account and why getting this taken care of will make it easy to start applying. Second, we went over the importance of building a high-quality application. Third, we looked at the exam portion of the <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/05/the-state-of-california-hiring-process.html" target="_blank">State's hiring process</a> and discussed gaining eligibility for classifications. Finally, we talked about applying for vacant positions.</p>
<p>This article has been a brief overview of what can be a complicated process. For each of the four steps we discussed here we have articles that go into greater depth, and we hope you explore them. Getting a job with the State of California does not have to be difficult. We hope to provide some insight into the process that when combined with your hard work will lead you to a great job.</p>

<p>Things are strange for State of California employees right now. Many of us are working from and almost all of us are facing a pay decrease that might last for two years. Here you'll find some information on what is going on and how if affects us as state employees. Stay strong and safe!</p>
<br>
<h2 class="h2classic">Resources, updates and information for State of California Employees</h2>
<h3>Employee Assistance Program</h3>
<p>The first thing we want make sure all state employees are aware of is our Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Hopefully all of your departments are giving you plenty of info on this valuable benefit, but if not, here is a quick summary.</p>
<p>All State employees and their eligible dependents have access to EAP. Whether you're feeling anxious about the pandemic or you're facing a financial difficulty, EAP can connect you with the counselors or resources to help you better manage. Their website has a lot of great video and articles, too. You can find more information at: <a href="http://www.eap.calhr.ca.gov/">www.eap.calhr.ca.gov</a>.</p>
<h3>Teleworking</h3>
<p>Each department manages their own teleworking policies, but CalHR has a model plan and guidance on best practices when working from home. Employees should consult their individual department's teleworking policies and agreements, but here you'll find some great information if you are teleworking. CalHR defines the terms you might find in your department's teleworking agreement and outlines what should be expected of both employee and employer. You can find <a href="https://www.calhr.ca.gov/employees/Pages/telework-policy.aspx">CalHR's Telework policy here</a>.</p>
<h3>Furloughs</h3>
<p>Most state employees are going to be required to take a pay decrease in exchange for compensated time off. Each bargaining unit (BU) is a little bit different, so you should check what yours agreed upon. You can check the specific in <a href="https://www.calhr.ca.gov/state-hr-professionals/Pages/bargaining-contracts.aspx">CalHR's Bargaining Unit section</a>. For most BUs there is a <i>Side Letter</i> that outlines how your paycheck will be affected. You can also find a summary of how each union will be impacted <a href="https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4257">here</a>.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017172479866827509.post-77800097041811456492020-03-13T17:43:00.010-07:002023-12-31T08:09:05.978-08:00State of California Hiring Questions and Answers<br />
<p>Here you'll find answers to some of the most common questions we receive in State of California hiring units. There isn't a theme here, just a random collection of the frequent questions we receive.</p>
<br />
<article>
<h3 class="h3classic">1) Do I have to take an exam to get a State of California Job?</h3>
<div class="answer">
<p>In almost all cases, you'll need to take an exam to get a state government job in California. An exam is generally considered to be the first step in the hiring process. By passing an exam, a candidate becomes eligible for that classification. After passing an exam you are able to apply for vacant positions.</p>
<p>There are, however, a few exceptions. The State has a number of non-testing classifications. One of the most common among these is <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/08/state-of-california-student-assistants.html" target="_blank">Student Assistant</a>. Student Assistant positions do not require candidates to have eligibility which means they don't have to take an exam. There are still minimum qualifications for the classification, however.</p>
<p>Other non-testing classifications in the State of California include <b>Graduate Student Assistant</b>, <b>Agricultural Aide</b> and <b>Maintenance and Service Occupational Trainee</b>.</p></div>

</article>
<br />
<article>
<h3 class="h3classic">2) How Many People Work for the State of California?</h3>
<div class="answer">
<p>According to the <a href="https://www.sco.ca.gov/ppsd_empinfo_demo.html" target="_blank">State Controller's Office</a>, the State of California has around 232,000 employees. This includes about 210,00 full-time, 2,000 part-time and 20,000 intermittent employees.</p></div></article>
<br />
<article>
<h3 class="h3classic">3) Who is the Largest Employer for State jobs in California?</h3>
<div class="answer">
<p>Within the State, not including the University of California or California State University systems, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) is the largest with around 56,000 employees. After CDCR it is the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) with around 21,000 employees and the Department of State Hospitals with around 11,000.</p></div></article>
<br />
<article>
<h3 class="h3classic">4) Why Do People Want to Work for the State?</h3>
<div class="answer">
<p>People want to work for the State of California for a number of reasons. Public service jobs are usually considered to be more stable and "recession proof" than private sector jobs. While not immune to economic downturns, public sector employees are less likely to face layoffs or reductions in pay and work hours during a recession.</p>
<p>State of California jobs also have some <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/11/state-of-california-employee-benefits.html" target="_blank">amazing benefits</a>. Employees have great health insurance options, retirement benefits, generous paid time off and much more.</p>
<p>Most State employees, especially those coming from the private sector, will tell you that government jobs allow them a better work-life balance.</p></div></article>
<br />
<article>
<h3 class="h3classic">5) How Often are State of California Employees Paid?</h3>
<div class="answer">
<p>The majority of State of California Employees are paid monthly. There are some exceptions, including employees in bargaining unit 18 and certain classifications with the Department of Water Resources and Caltrans.</p>
<p>You can find this <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2023/12/2024-state-of-california-pay-days.html" target="_blank">year's pay days</a> on the California Job Blog.</p></div></article>
<br />
<article>
<h3 class="h3classic">6) What is the STD 678 State application?</h3>
<div class="answer">
<p>The STD 678 is the standard application for California state jobs and exams. You will use this application when you are applying for vacant positions or to take an exam. The application has sections for your contact information, education and work history, references, and licenses.</p>
<p>The application is a legal document that a hiring analyst will review to determine if you meet the minimum qualifications for the classification you are applying to. Fill it out thoroughly. It is acceptable for a hiring department to use how well an application is completed as a factor in their hiring decisions.</p></div>
<p><mark class="pinkmark">Read more</mark> about the <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/10/the-state-job-application-std-678.html" target="_blank">State of California job application</a> to master this crucial part of the hiring process.</p></article>
<br />
<article>
<h3 class="h3classic">7) How Long Does It Take to Get a State Job?</h3>
<div class="answer">
<p>This question is kind of hard to nail down, but a fair estimate is 6 weeks from the final filing date listed on the job bulletin. All State job bulletins have a <i>final filing date</i> or are listed as <i>until filled</i>. Applicants should expect to hear something from the hiring department 2-3 weeks from this date. Qualified candidates will be notified about the next step in the hiring process. Usually this is an interview. Non-qualified (or under-qualified) candidates will be informed that they were not selected.</p>
<p>Hiring timeframes can differ significantly depending on the classification and/or department candidates are applying to. Peace Officers, for example, undergo much more rigorous <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/03/state-of-california-jobs-pre-employment.html" target="_blank">pre-employment clearances</a>, which can often add months to the process. Some departments require potential hires to complete a criminal record background check which also takes additional time.</p>
<p>But for a typical State office job, candidates can expect the process to take 4-8 weeks with 6 being a reasonable expectation.</p></div></article>
<br />
<article>
<h3 class="h3classic">8) What is a Statement of Qualifications?</h3>
<div class="answer">
<p>A Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) is a document that hiring departments use to "screen" applicants to determine who is the most qualified. Not every position you apply for will require an SOQ. If it is required, the job bulletin will indicate that it must be submitted and provide instructions for how it should be written.</p>
<p>It is becoming more common to see hiring departments requiring an SOQ along with an application, and its importance should not be overlooked. Being able to craft a thorough and well-written SOQ will make candidates much more likely to hired. The SOQ is not the same as a resume. An SOQ, resume and State Application (STD 678) are all separate documents with distinct information.</p></div>

<br />
<article>
<h3 class="h3classic">9) Where do State Employees Work?</h3>
<div class="answer">
<p>There are state government jobs in every county in California. The CalCareers website has a great tool that allows candidates to do a <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/05/geographic-state-job-search.html" target="_blank">geographical job search</a> to find openings in the locations they choose.</p></div></article>
<article>
<h3 class="h3classic">10) Do California State employees get reimbursed for travel?</h3>
<div class="answer">
<p>Yes. Some travel can be paid for up front, and some is reimbursed. The type of travel and distance from your home will determine if it will be paid by the State. Each bargaining unit has their own stipulations for paid travel, so make sure to check yours. For general car travel, State employees can be reimbursed at the IRS mileage rate of 65.5 cents per mile in 2023.</p></div></article>

<p>The State of California, like other government jobs, uses a merit-based system for hiring. This means that applicants must begin the process of getting a job by proving they are among the most qualified candidates. Every applicant for a specific State of California classification takes the exact same exam. They answer the same questions, in the same format in the same setting. This ensures that the people who are the most qualified are the ones most likely to get the job.</p>
<p>Working in a hiring department for the State of California, one of the complaints we hear most often is, "Why is the <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/05/the-state-of-california-hiring-process.html" target="_blank">State's hiring process</a> so confusing?" It's a great question. There are thousands of open State jobs, but it can seem time-consuming and complicated to get hired. The part of the hiring process that seems to cause the most confusion and difficulty for jobseekers is often the exam portion. The California Job Blog is here to help with this article.</p>
<br />
<h2 class="h2classic">The State of California Exam Process</h2>
<p>Exams with the State of California are how people become eligible for classifications. If you’ve never worked for the State before, you need to take an exam. An exam is how you get eligibility. It’s very common for public-service jobs to require an applicant to have civil service eligibility. It’s how public sector employers ensure the hiring process is merit-based. It helps ensure that the only consideration in an appointment is who is the most qualified.</p>
<h3 class="h3classic">Taking an Exam</h3>
<p>The Examination Bulletin displays the salary range, minimum qualifications (MQs), and a job description. The description gives you a general idea of what people in that classification do. The Bulletin also tells you what kind of examination it is. Examinations can be in-person or online. </p>
<p>If it is an in-person, it could be either a written or oral exam. Either way, there will be information about how to schedule yourself. In-person exams require you to schedule yourself in advance. Space is limited and can fill up fast for popular exams. They can take place at designated testing centers, or at the department/agency you’re applying to.</p>
<p>The State is slowly converting exams into the type that can be <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/04/online-exams-for-state-of-california.html" target="_blank">completed online</a>. Candidates will sometimes come across hybrid-type exams in which a file is downloaded and filled out but must be returned by mail. These are less common, but they are still utilized by some departments.</p>
<p>The bulletin may also give you information about how to prepare for the exam, including a link to the class specifications. Read the Classification Specifications carefully because this is the legal job description. It will provide an overview of the classification, typical tasks and the minimum qualifications. You must meet the Minimum Qualifications to take the exam.</p>
<h3 class="h3classic">Eligibility</h3>
<p>Keep in mind that not every department in the State of California uses the same exams or the same classifications. Departments have the power to decide which classifications are the most appropriate for their individual departments, and the most effective ways to administer exams for those classifications.</p>
<p>Some classifications are used by every department in the state. Some of these include Staff Services Analyst, Office Technician and Staff Services Manager. If you take one of these exams, it is considered <i>Statewide</i>. That means taking the exam will give you eligibility in that classification in every department that has a vacant position.</p>
<p>Many classifications and their exams are specific to a single department or a group of departments. The exam bulletin will tell you where you'll have eligibility when you pass the exam for that classification.</p>
<p>Below is an exam bulletin for the Associate Governmental Program Analyst classification. You can see in the image below the exam is listed as <i>STATE OF CALIFORNIA</i>, indicating the exam will give candidates eligibility in any department, throughout the state.</p>
<img alt="Associate Governmental Program Analyst Exam Bulletin" class="clearimg" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgWn01sznQf8gO_r5nxqbw4061LL9goDf4AYpKf99xmp2DUvoksfOT3BVluywUylfBHRaS8S9voYRxs25xlhKB5iisOYwTFuezyFPQjXT8NgygjknedZH0ZFa0wite_ufKtCF09N-Lonc/s320/AGPA+Exam+Bulletin.JPG" title="Associate Governmental Program Analyst Exam Bulletin" /><br />
<p>Now, in the following image you seen an exam bulletin for the classification of Public Utilities Regulatory Analyst. Below the name of the classification, instead of <i>STATE OF CALIFORNIA </i>you see <i>PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION</i>. Therefore, you'd know that this exam will give you eligibility only for this specific department.</p>
<br />

<br />
<h3 class="h3classic">Becoming Reachable</h3>
<p>All hiring in the State of California is <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/04/merit-based-hiring.html" target="_blank">merit-based</a>, and the purpose of exams is to assess merit. Candidates are scored and ranked based on this assessment. All candidates that pass an exam are placed on an eligible list. However, in most cases, departments are limited to hiring candidates from the top 3 ranks of the list. This rule is integral to the merit system because it ensures that the people selected for positions are the most qualified.</p>
<p>Eligible lists for classifications are fluid and are constantly in-flux. A candidate with an exam score corresponding to the fourth rank isn't stuck there. Take, for example, an eligible list that has 5 candidates in the first rank. As these first-ranked candidates are hired, they are taken off the list, and when none remain, those in the second rank move up to the first rank. This continues down the list and ensures that the most qualified candidates are hired first.</p><p>
</p><p>It should be noted that a candidate's score on an exam doesn't change. If you score an 85% on an exam, your score will remain 85% for the duration of your eligibility. What can change over time is which rank your score corresponds to.</p>
<p>Being appointed to a position isn't the only way that a candidate can be cleared from an eligible list. If a department is looking to hire for a classification, they might send a contact letter to all the eligible candidates on the list. The contact letter is a type of recruitment letting the candidate know about a vacant position they are currently looking to fill. If the candidate that was sent the contact letter chooses not to apply for the position, hiring managers are able to move on to candidates lower down on the list.</p>
<p>A candidate's eligibility on a list also has an expiration date. Usually, it is one or two years. So, these 3 factors - candidates being hired, determined to be uninterested in a position or having their eligibility expire - determine where a specific candidate lies on a list at any given time. Candidates in lower ranks should still apply for positions they are interested in, because it's hard to know their exact position at a specific time.</p>
<p>For all exams there is a minimum score you must get to pass. Usually, it's about 70%. The exam bulletin should tell you the minimum score you need. If you don't pass, you do not have eligibility for that classification. You can re-take the exam, but there is a waiting period. Usually it's about 6 months, but for some classifications it can be as much as a year you have to wait until re-testing.</p>
<h3 class="h3classic">Exam Results</h3>
<p>If you take an online exam, you'll get your results right away. If you take an in-person exam or a hard copy of a Training and Experience Evaluation, it could be up to a month before you get results. The tests must be graded, and the scores uploaded into the State's electronic exam system. They may or may not mail you exam results, but either way your score should be available for you to see in your CalCareers account.</p><p>
</p><p>For each exam, there are 2 dates to pay attention to. The first is the date your eligibility expires. After you've passed an exam you are considered eligible and placed on a list. However, this eligibility expires. Generally, this expiration occurs after 1 or 2 years. If you haven't gotten a job during your eligibility period, you'll have to take the exam again.</p><p>
</p><p>The second date to pay attention to is the date you're eligible to re-take the exam. If you don't pass an exam or get a low score, this re-test date will let you know when you'll be able to try again. These testing periods are determined by CalHR and are 6,9 or 12 months.</p>
<p>The time periods for active eligibility and retesting waiting periods are not related. In the Office Technician classification, for example, candidate have eligibility for 24 months after they pass the exam but can re-take it after 12 months. State employers should use whatever score is higher while your name is on the list.</p>
<br />
<h3 class="h3classic">Exceptions to the State of California Examination Process</h3>
<h4>Non-Testing Classifications</h4>
<p>There are several classifications that don't require candidates to have eligibility. The State calls them <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/08/non-testing-classifications.html" target="_blank">Non-Testing Classifications</a>, and jobseekers are free to apply for open positions.</p>
<h5>A few examples of Non-Testing Classifications include:</h5>
<ol>
<li>Maintenance and Service Occupational Trainee</li>
<li><a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/08/state-of-california-student-assistants.html" target="_blank">Student Assistant</a> and Graduate Student Assistant</li>
<li>Seasonal Clerk</li>
</ol>
<h4>Veterans' Preference</h4>
<p>Another exception to the State's examination and hiring process in a system of Veterans' Preference. Through this system, qualified veterans can obtain first-rank eligibility for a classification automatically, regardless of their score. Veterans Preference doesn't apply to all State classifications, and candidates still need to achieve a passing score on the exam.</p>
<p>We have a much more detailed explanation of the <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/12/veterans-preference.html" target="_blank">State of California Veterans' Preference system</a> interested candidates should explore.</p>
<h4>Reinstatement Eligibility</h4>
<p>Once an employee passes probation in a particular classification, they have a permanent right to reinstatement if they should leave. For example, an employee that worked as an <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/10/the-associate-governmental-program.html" target="_blank">Associate Governmental Program Analyst</a> and passed the 6-month probationary period but then left state service would be eligible to return to the classification without having to re-take the exam.</p>
<h4>Transfer Eligibility</h4>
<p>Candidates currently working in a classification, whether they've passed probation or not, are eligible to transfer into a different position in the same classification without having to retake the exam. If, for instance, someone starts a job as an Office Technician but after 2 months sees an opening in the same classification that they'd prefer, they are eligible to apply. This is an example of a lateral transfer, and it doesn't require taking the exam again.</p>
<p>It is important to note that when transferring during a probationary period would require it to be reset. If a candidate is in a classification with a 6-month probationary period but laterally transfers after 5 months, they would have to begin a fresh probationary period with their new position.</p>

<h2 class="h2classic">The Complete Guide to Getting a State of California Job</h2><br />
This is a guide to help you get a job with the State of California. In order to gain employment with the State, you’re going to need to follow several steps. The <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/05/the-state-of-california-hiring-process.html" target="_blank">State of California's hiring process</a> can be a little confusing, but this guide should help you get started. There are a lot of great resources online (like the <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/" target="_blank">California Job Blog</a>). The CalHR and CalCareers websites are full of good information about the requirements for positions and the hiring process.<br />

<h2 class="h2classic">1. Take the examination</h2>The first step in starting your career with the State of California is to take an examination. An exam is how you obtain eligibility for a classification. There are a few exceptions (described below) but for most people an exam is where the hiring process begins. All <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/04/merit-based-hiring.html" target="_blank">hiring for California State Jobs is merit-based</a>, and merit is determined through the examination process.<br />
<br />
The type of exam you are applying for may include any of the following: written tests, oral interviews, supplemental written exams, performance tests, or education and experience evaluations. The type of exam you are taking will depend on the classification and the agency administering the exam. <br />
<br />
There are a number of <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/04/online-exams-for-state-of-california.html" target="_blank">exams that are available to complete online</a>, and there some you can register for online, but take in person. Paper applications submitted through the mail are still pretty common.<br />
<h4><mark class="pinkmark">Notes:<mark></mark></mark></h4><ul><li>Before you can apply for or take an exam online, you need to create your CalCareer account. Your CalCareer account gives you the outlet and the verification necessary to take an exam. After you've taken an exam, you will need this account to apply for open jobs. Get started with that in our post <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/03/calcareer-account-how-to.html" target="_blank">How to Create A CalCareer Account</a>.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><u>Exceptions</u>. There are a few jobs that are considered <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/08/non-testing-classifications.html" target="_blank">non-testing classifications</a>. This means you don’t need to take an exam before you can apply. <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/08/state-of-california-student-assistants.html" target="_blank">Student Assistants</a> are an example of a non-testing class. If you worked for the State in a certain classification, passed probation but then either left the State or transferred into a new position, you have reinstatement eligibility. If you work in a classification and successfully pass probation, you are considered “permanent” and retain the right to return to that classification without having to re-examine. If you currently work for the state and want to transfer departments, you have transfer eligibility. To transfer departments but stay in the same classification, you don’t need to have already passed probation.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><u>Lateral Transfer</u>. It’s also possible to transfer to a different classification that is very similar to your current classification in terms of pay, responsibilities and scope of duties. This can be a lateral transfer. The department you are seeking a transfer to makes the determination if you are eligible. Indicate on your State Application (STD 678) and that you are applying using <b>Transfer Eligibility</b>.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><u>Exam Bulletins</u>. A bulletin specifies how to apply, and the Minimum Qualifications (MQ’s) you must meet to participate in the exam. The bulletin will have the date you need to apply by and where to send your application. Exam bulletins can be found online at CalCareers (<a href="https://jobs.ca.gov/" target="_blank">jobs.ca.gov</a>). On the front page of the CalCareer website you can search for an exam for a specific classification in the <b>Exam/Assessment Search</b> field.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>For exam and job bulletins, read them thoroughly. They often have special instructions for how to submit an application and/or additional documents that you’ll need to submit.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Submit your application. Many exams require applications to submit a <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/10/the-state-job-application-std-678.html" target="_blank">State Application Form (STD 678)</a>. You can find the State Application on the CalCareers website (search for “Std. 678”) or by clicking <a href="https://jobs.ca.gov/pdf/std678.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>. The State Application was updated in July 2019. Make sure you are using the most up-to-date version.<br />
<br />
You can print a blank application and fill it out by hand or download it and fill it out on your computer to print. However, when you create an account on <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/09/calcareer-account-frequently-asked.html" target="_blank">CalCareers</a>, you can fill out your application once in the <b>Job Applications</b> section and have it available to update or print whenever you need. You can even create and store up to 10 templates. Also, through your CalCareer account, you can submit an application electronically. The State is moving away from paper, and electronic application submissions are becoming more common.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Read the exam bulletin carefully. Some exams can be completed online (such as Training and Experience Evaluations). Also, some exams are available for self-scheduling online through your CalCareer account. Online exams are also becoming more prevalent. The very popular Office Technician and <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/10/the-associate-governmental-program.html" target="_blank">Associate Governmental Program Analyst</a> exams are available to complete electronically and on a continuous basis.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>For exams that you can self-schedule, pay attention to the date and time that scheduling becomes available. If the exam format is in-person, space is limited and it’s not uncommon for spots to fill up fast. If it is an exam that hasn’t been offered in a while, it’s a good idea to be online, logged in and ready to register as soon as scheduling opens up.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><u>Take the test</u>. If you submitted a paper application, it will be reviewed by an analyst in the department’s HR office. If it meets the minimum qualifications for the classification, and it was submitted according to the instructions in the exam bulletin, an acknowledgement that the application was accepted, and notice of a test date will be sent to you. <br />
<br />
If it is an online exam, you will begin by completing an electronic questionnaire to determine if you meet the requirements for the position. If your application is rejected based on a determination that you do not meet the minimum qualifications, you will be notified as well. For paper applications you’ll be emailed or sent a letter telling you this, and if it is an electronic application, you’ll be notified instantly.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><u><a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/10/conditions-of-employment.html" target="_blank">Conditions of Employment</a></u>. Once you’ve created and are signed in to your CalCareer account, you will see a tab on the left labeled <b>Exam/Assessment Records</b>. Here you can see all the exams you have taken and the score you received. If you click on the List Code of an exam you have taken you will see a section titled <b>Conditions of Employment</b>. In this section you should double-check that the county of the position you applied for is checked is the <b>Locations</b> section. If you are interested in applying for a position in a county that is not checked, you will need to make this adjustment first. Similarly, you will need to double-check the <b>Tenure/Timebase</b> tab. If you are applying for a Part-Time position, but you only have Full-Time checked, you will need to change it.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Other options in the Conditions of Employment section include limited-term or permanent. Limited-term appointments can end at any time. When a position is marked as Limited Term, it’ll tell you the length of the appointment. Usually it is 12 or 24 months, with 24 being the max. But, Limited Term positions are not guaranteed to last any amount of time and could end sooner than 12 months. However, LT positions also have a chance of becoming Permanent at some point. You can check if you’d like to be considered for Limited Term, Permanent or both.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><u>Results</u>. If you took an exam online, your results will be available for you to see as soon as you finish. If you took the exam in person, your results will appear in a couple of weeks. The department giving the exam will score it and then upload the results on the job website, which you’ll be able to view from within your CalCareer account. Results might also be mailed to you around the same time. In order to move forward in the process, you must have successfully passed the exam and scored high enough to be reachable on an eligible list.<br />
</li>

<mark class="pinkmark">Read More</mark> in our article <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2020/02/state-of-california-exams.html" target="_blank">Overview of the State of California Exam Process</a>. <br />
<br />
<h2 class="h2classic">2. List Eligibility</h2>State eligibility lists are divided into ranks by exam score. All candidates achieving the same score are placed together in the same rank. For most classifications, only those candidates in the top three ranks are "reachable" and may be considered for appointment to a classification. Don’t be discouraged if your score places you lower than the third rank. As candidates are hired, become unavailable or decline a position, the ranks are “cleared” and the lower ranks move up. For example, the fourth rank will become rank three when the candidates from rank one are cleared. Once rank four moves up to rank three, the candidates in that group become reachable.<br />
<h4><mark class="pinkmark">Notes:</mark></h4><ul><li>The State of California operates a great program called Veterans' Preference. Through this program, a qualified veteran can automatically be placed in the top rank if they pass an exam. Veterans' Preference isn't applicable to every classification and it is limited to those entering state service for the first time. We encourage all members of the military to take advantage of this program. Read more about <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/12/veterans-preference.html" target="_blank">Veterans' Preference on the California Job Blog</a>.<br />
</li>
</ul><br />
<h2 class="h2classic">3. Locate a Vacant Position</h2>Once you’ve taken an exam and become eligible on a list, you’ve completed the first step in the hiring process. The next step after gaining eligibility is to find and apply for vacant positions.<br />
<h4><mark class="pinkmark">Notes:</mark></h4><ul><li><a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/09/state-of-california-job-bulletins.html" target="_blank">Job Opportunity Bulletins</a> are often posted in a department’s human resources office, but for a complete listing of Statewide vacancies you’re going to want to go online. At the CalCareers website you’ll see a search box with <b>Search all job openings by Job Title/Keyword</b>. If you know what you’re looking for, enter it here. If you use the <b>Advanced Job Search</b> option, you can use a number of different criteria to narrow your job search down. You can search by the specific job classification you are interested in, geographic region (Sacramento County in the <b>Location</b> field, for example), or department.<br />
<br />
You can find an entire article about <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/05/state-of-california-jobs-search.html" target="_blank">How to Search for State Jobs</a> on the California Job Blog. This article will help you navigate your job search and narrow down the opportunities you're interested in and qualified for.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Remember, you must have eligibility before you can apply for a vacancy. If you don’t know exactly what kind of job you’re looking for yet, a lot of people start by doing a <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/05/geographic-state-job-search.html" target="_blank">geographical job search</a>. If you start by searching for what is in the area you'd like to work, you can start to narrow down what classifications you might be suitable for. You can also start by searching for available exams near you, because taking the exam is the first and most important step.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Contact letters are standard form correspondence sent to candidates in reachable ranks for current vacancies. After you have successfully completed an exam you may automatically start receiving contact letters from State agencies. Contact letters (or more likely contact emails) are the standard recruitment process when a department posts a vacant position. <br />
<br />
</li>
<li>You won’t receive contact letters for a county you haven’t selected for in the Conditions of Employment tab we discussed earlier. Make sure the county you want to work is selected as one of your locations. Similarly, you won’t receive contact letters for Limited Term positions, if you’ve only selected that you’re interested in Permanent.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>If you're looking for a specific position, generally looking for a position in a specific location or any other combination of factors, you can sign up for notifications. These notifications let you know when the exact job you're looking for becomes available. Follow our guide for creating tailored <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/05/how-to-register-for-calcareer-account.html" target="_blank">notifications in your CalCareer account</a><br />
<br />
</span></li>
<li>Contact letters include classification, location, and instructions on how to apply. You may not always receive a contact letter, though, so it’s important to be proactive in your job search. You can’t rely solely on these letters to learn about positions you have examined for or vacancies you might be interested in. You should be active in your job search and applying often. We strongly believe in a "10-10-1" rule. For every 10 applications you submit, you might be invited for 1 interview and you might have to go on 10 interviews to receive 1 job offer. If you do the math that might be 100 applications you have do before you get a job. This isn’t a steadfast rule, but it’s not unheard of for common and entry level classifications with the State of California.<br />
</li>
</ul><br />
<h2 class="h2classic">4. Apply</h2>In the coming years you will see more departments accepting the <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/10/the-state-job-application-std-678.html" target="_blank">State Application (STD 678)</a> exclusively in its electronic form, but for now applications can generally be submitted in paper also. Your application can be submitted to the address in the job advertisement or dropped off at the hiring department’s HR office. The advertisement will have all the information you need to apply, including contact information for HR staff if you have any questions. The job posting should have a duty statement attached to it. If it doesn’t, you’re entitled to request one. There are many important things you need to do when filling out your application. Below you will find some tips for filling out a state application. <br />
<h4><mark class="pinkmark">Notes:</mark></h4><ul><li>Make sure you check the address for where the application should go if you are mailing it in. For a lot of smaller offices outside of Sacramento applications are sent to the department’s headquarters.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Make sure you meet the Minimum Qualifications and have eligibility for the classification that you are applying for. It is the applicant’s responsibility to make sure they meet the minimum qualifications and have eligibility before submitting an application.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Pay close attention to the Final Filing Date listed in the official announcement. Applications received after this date will not be accepted.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Applications are a legal document and must have an original signature. Applications without an original signature are likely to be rejected by the hiring unit. Electronic applications are different.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Include all work history and the duties you performed. The information provided in this section is how the analyst reviewing your application will determine if you are qualified for the position or not. Simply taking an exam does not make you qualified, and it is your responsibility to provide a complete and accurate work history. Eligibility and minimum qualifications are separate requirements and applicants must meet both to be invited for an interview.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Don’t skip the part of the application that asks for the names and phone numbers of former supervisors. Hiring managers will be calling these people, so make sure the information is up to date. You cannot get a job with the State without reference checks. Even if you are transferring or promoting within State Service it’s probable that your references will be called.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Many jobs with the State of California, including Office Technician and Office Assistant, require a typing certification. The typing certification states that the applicant can typing at a rate of at least 40 words per minute with 3 or fewer mistakes. You can apply for these jobs before you obtain a typing certificate. However, if you are selected for an interview, you'll probably have to provide the original at that time. The CA Job Blog has an article on <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/04/state-of-california-typing-test.html" target="_blank">The State Of California Typing Test</a>.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Make sure you include the position and Job Control numbers (JC-xxxxx) you are applying for on your application. If you interested in multiple vacancies, you must submit a separate application for each one. Applications for multiple classifications will not be accepted by the hiring unit. The JC or position number is very important. Large departments may have multiple vacancies posted for the same classification. Make sure it’s obvious the department you are applying which specific posting you’d like to be considered for.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Make sure your eligibility is clearly stated on your application. If you currently work in the classification you are applying for but at another facility, you must indicate that you have Transfer Eligibility. If you took an exam, you must indicate that you have list eligibility. Also, if you are applying for a Training and Development (T&D) assignment, you must write this on your application.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>There are sometimes additional documents that are required to be submitted with your application. This can include a copy of a professional license, a <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/11/statement-of-qualifications.html" target="_blank">Statement of Qualifications</a> or a <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/05/how-to-write-great-state-resume.html" target="_blank">resume</a>. We have an article <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/05/additional-documents-for-your.html" target="_blank">Additional Documents For Your Application Package</a> with more information.<br />
</li>
</ul><br />
<h2 class="h2classic">5. Participate in a hiring interview</h2>After you have submitted your application but before an interview is scheduled, the selection analyst will go over every detail of your application to make sure it is complete and all the qualification and eligibility requirements are met. If the classification you are applying for requires a specific license, they will check that yours is active and valid. If all the requirements are met, you’ll be notified of the date and time of your <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/06/how-to-ace-state-interview.html" target="_blank">interview</a>. Please read the notification completely and be aware that it may ask to bring additional documents like a license, diploma or certificate to your interview. <br />
<h4><mark class="pinkmark">Notes:</mark></h4><ul><li>Hiring departments must give you at least 10 days’ notice for a selection interview. They must also provide a duty statement if you request it.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Interviews for positions with the state of California are done before a panel most of the time. This means there will be at least 2 people conducting the interview.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Interviewers must be completely neutral. Don’t expect to see a nodding, smiling face looking back at you. But don’t take it personally. This is a safeguard to ensure that no candidate gets an unfair advantage.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Arrive to your interview at least 10 minutes early. There will be paperwork to complete. Hiring departments do notice if you are late, and they do have the right to cancel your interview.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>If you are not selected for the position following your interview, you will receive a notification in a couple of weeks. Your name will remain on the eligible list to be considered for other vacancies. Your application will not be retained by the hiring agency, and you should resubmit it for future vacancies.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>If you were selected for a vacancy following your interview, the hiring process begins, and the HR office will start working on your pre-employment clearances. Pre-employment clearances are different across the State’s agencies.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Interviews are a competitive process used to determine the best fitting candidate for a particular position. If you weren’t selected it doesn’t mean the panel thought you couldn’t do the job or wouldn’t be successful in the classification. You just weren’t the right person at the right time. Don’t hesitate to apply for the same classification with the department again. The next time around you might be the ideal person for the job.<br />

<br />
<h2 class="h2classic">6. Pre-Employment Clearances</h2>Every potential State of California employee is required to complete a series of <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/03/state-of-california-jobs-pre-employment.html" target="_blank">pre-employment clearances</a> before they can be appointed to a position. Each department has their own clearances, and certain classifications have special requirements. These clearances may include: <br />
<ul><li>Reference checks are generally required for every potential State employee. If you are employed, your current supervisor will probably be contacted, even if you already for the department. <br />
<br />
</li>
<li> Fingerprints. A lot of departments require potential employees to submit to fingerprinting as part of a criminal record background check. <br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Physical. A pre-employment physical is required by some departments. For some classifications this may include drug screening. If they don't require a full physical, most departments require appointees to complete a health evaluation form prior to employment.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Employment Eligibility Verification. Form I-9 is used to verify an applicant’s identity and employment authorization. This is an across-the-board requirement for State of California Jobs.<br />
</li>
</ul><br />
<h2 class="h2classic">7.Additional Information</h2>The hiring process for the State of California can be very confusing at times. Below you will find some notes and tips to help navigate this frustrating process. There are a lot of resources available at CalCareer and the <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2019/02/welcome-to-california-job-blog.html" target="_blank">California Job Blog</a>. <br />
<ul><li>Follow up time. After you submit an application for an exam or vacancy, it could be up to a month before you receive any kind of response. The same is true following an interview. The hiring process can be lengthy, but be patient and feel free to follow up with the hiring department if it’s been more than a month.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>More on references. One of the few things candidates can do to help speed up the hiring process is to provide complete and up to date reference information. Remember, you can’t be hired without reference checks so be sure the supervisors and phone numbers listed on your application are accurate. Even if they no longer work for the organization it is generally OK to use as references. It’s always a good idea to give your references a heads up if you haven’t been in touch with them for a while.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Non-Testing Classes. There are a few classifications that are non-testing. For these classes you can skip the examination and eligibility portions of this guide and go right to looking for vacant positions. Some of these classes are: Seasonal Clerk, Park Aid, Student Assistant and Pre-Licensed Psychiatric Technician (PLPT).<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>More on Eligibility. This guide has focused on list eligibility earned from an exam, but eligibility for a classification can be obtained in a number of ways. If you are currently permanent in a classification – meaning you have passed probation – you are eligible to laterally transfer. Make sure you indicate “Transfer Eligibility” on your application. If you were permanent in a classification and left state service you have reinstatement eligibility. You still need to apply and complete the hiring process, but you don’t need to take an exam.<br />
</li>

<br />
<p>For 2023, retirement account contribution limits will increase from 2022 amounts. Retirement accounts include Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans among others. State employees have access to 401(k) and 457 plans through Savings Plus.</p>
<h3 class="h3classic">2023 Contribution Limits for Retirement Accounts</h3>
<p>Employment with the State of California offers many great benefits. Among those benefits is the guaranteed retirement income state employees earn through the CalPERS pension system.</p>
<p>But there is another form of retirement planning the State makes available to its employees. Savings Plus is a voluntary retirement planning program that offers 401(k) and 457(b) retirement accounts. These accounts are funded through automatic payroll deductions and are a great way to save additional money for retirement.</p>
<p>The California Job Blog has a more <a href="https://www.cajobblog.com/2018/04/savings-plus-401k-and-457b.html" target="_blank">in-depth article about Savings Plus</a>, how these account work and the investment options available to State employees.</p>
<p>The purpose of this article is to highlight the contribution limits for the main types of retirement accounts. The tables below show the limits for 401(k), 457(b) and IRA accounts. 401(k) and 457(b) have identical limits.</p>
<p>IRAs are accounts available to set up at any time. They are set up through a bank and are unrelated to a specific employer. Contributions are made similar to a savings account, rather than through payroll deductions. We've included contribution limits for these accounts as well.</p>
