I have successfully completed the civil service examination, when will I get a job?
To fill a vacant position, the Human Resources department will request a certification of the eligibility list. A certified list is an eligibility list that is signed by the Civil Service Board (Fire Civil Service Commission for firefighters) and contains those candidates who are eligible for employment. Candidates will be notified of their ranking on the newly approved certified eligibility list and candidate names are referred to the department with a vacancy.
