What is the difference between an open-competitive and promotional examination? |
|
Open-competitive examinations can be taken by any individual who demonstrates that they meet the minimum educational and experience qualifications cited on the examination announcement. Promotional examinations are restricted to current employees of the participating appointing authority who meet the service requirement and minimum qualifications as cited on the announcement. It is possible for current employees to take an examination both open-competitively and promotionally, and appear on both lists if they pass the examination. Candidates on promotional lists are canvassed first. For more detailed information consult the Human Resources department website at http://www.westchestergov.com/hr/faq |
