Oral panel
evaluations
A limited number of top qualifying applicants from the written exam
are often invited to the oral panel evaluation. The oral panel
evaluation is designed to elicit responses that will demonstrate your
knowledge, skills, and abilities relevant to the position for which you
applied. Oral evaluation exams are used to test for interpersonal and
communication skills, and for content knowledge. The questions are often
asked, and the answers rated, by a panel, usually comprised of several
subject matter experts.
Civil Service
register
Candidates who successfully pass all portions of the testing process are
placed on a list with other candidates eligible to be hired for
positions in that job classification. This list is called an “eligible
register” or “eligible list,” which is used to fill vacancies that occur
in that classification over, typically, the next 12 months. Candidates
are listed in the order of their final composite grade, which includes
final exam scores, plus any points added for veterans’ preference (RCW
41.04.010 as amended).
Eligible list
If a vacancy occurs and your name is listed in the highest group of
scores being considered, you will be contacted and informed of the next
steps in the hiring process.
