Individuals interested in being considered for a posted vacancy must apply according to the instructions provided on the announcement for that vacancy.
Applications are not accepted before the opening date or after the closing date of a vacancy announcement.
If an examination is required, applicants must receive instructions that may include time limits for completing the assessment process.
An applicant may submit only one application per announcement for an externally posted vacancy. If the applicant submits more than one application, the examination score on the first application received stands. Human Resources rejects any additional applications submitted, even if the first rating processed is an ineligible rating or lower than a subsequent rating.
