In order to qualify for a state job, you must first meet the
minimum qualifications.
These requirements can be found on any job announcement under the
heading: "Qualifications Needed to Apply" Announcements for both
current job listings and continuous job
listings can be accessed here on our web site. They can
also be obtained from our office or any local Employment Service Office.
You should review each announcement carefully, noting the location of
the job opening, minimum qualifications, description of job duties, and
any special requirements. Taking the time to thoroughly review each
announcement will help you avoid applying for jobs that may not interest
you, or for which you may not qualify.
You may also refer to our
Career Guide

Finally, if you still cannot find what you are looking for, you may call

employment counselors. This person will be happy to help you in your job
search.
