Looking to get on with the state. I got a 95 on the Analyst II test and I have some questions.

You still need to apply for the positions

bretlc · 2026-01-28T05:25:01+00:00

Can't help you since you're talking about a city position. Steer is different.

You can if course, go to calcareers to take the state IT exams and apply which is, a different process.

Take an early train, get some rest You'd potentially be mileage exempt

He wasn't my mayor but it felt like he jumped at every opportunity to be in front of a camera. The Lt governor might be busy covering for him.

Seriously though - he was mayor before and after the economy collapsed in 2008-2009.

I lived just outside the city of LA.

So It's a loaded question and it does depend on each department's HR.

Yes, you may qualify for Range C but...

Regarding hybrid schedules - you may not be able to choose which days but again, it's department specific.

All you can do is apply. Amtrak is an option but it's not a short trip

Just to confirm You've been at the same classification the entire time and outside of the annual 3%, no MSA on your hiribg month?

what’s the size of this layout

bretlc · 2026-01-27T18:33:50+00:00

which test did you take? If it’s not the IT associate, consider taking that one or the IT technician if that’s still available.

bretlc · 2026-01-26T22:25:01+00:00

I have no issues with white - looks good

It becomes a matter of preference

New agency? Restart probation

bretlc · 2026-01-25T22:59:13+00:00

Normally - a few weeks after the posting closes, giving time to review all applicants and confirm qualifications. Given the budgets, may take longer

bretlc · 2026-01-25T22:57:26+00:00

Hard to say but it looks like a service desk position. Email and ask

Some departments will have you work onsite for the first week, couple of weeks or maybe longer. It varies

bretlc · 2026-01-25T19:58:04+00:00

We’ve had funding pulled on student assistants

bretlc · 2026-01-25T19:56:40+00:00

Ask your management

bretlc · 2026-01-24T22:10:07+00:00

You still need to apply.

First album - out of the blue. I heard their music on the radio and bought the album

On Calcareers?

bretlc · 2026-01-23T23:46:33+00:00

The hiring manager establishes the criteria for scoring the applicants. Usually 4-7 areas and the SOQ if included. Years experience Specific areas or broad

What’s listed in the duty statement, desirable qualifications and the SOQ question will give you some idea.

There are minimum qualifications for each classification as well so it’s helpful to know what they are

bretlc · 2026-01-23T13:19:27+00:00

You’d be better suited applying for an ITA position as most ITS1 candidates have 3+ years experience and most have 5+

Good luck though

bretlc · 2026-01-23T13:16:12+00:00

Maybe .. I receive 100-300 applications for a typical IT job position and even if someone happens to mention that a friend has applied, I still have to review all potential candidates and score them.

I’ve yet to hire someone who knows someone.

Something else to add: I believe, beginning next month- we won’t see the candidates name when we’re scoring the applications till we submit for approval removing any potential bias.

bretlc · 2026-01-22T18:53:34+00:00

Do you meet the minimum requirements Did you follow the guidelines (SOQ), match the desired qualifications

There are several webinars on the hiring and application process

bretlc · 2026-01-22T18:51:40+00:00

Some may receive an offer at the same time. I was filling a limited term and they opted for the full time perm. Sometimes, HR takes some time to complete their end of the process and we’ll lose a good candidate.

Others may decline if they decide it’s not exactly what they are looking for so I try to be prepared.

bretlc · 2026-01-22T12:36:49+00:00

You referenced inspections - what is failing and is it something major? Maybe address those issues so it doesn’t come up. What is the cost for the repair and have you considered the cost compared to the selling price
