Step Two: Review Job Requirements
After you have identified the Job Announcement in which you are interested, you should thoroughly review ALL the requirements to make sure you are qualified to compete.
Please keep in mind that all requirements must be completed by the closing date of the Job Announcement. A candidate will be considered ineligible if ANY of the requirements are not met by the closing date.
- Residency requirements must be met as of the Job Announcement closing date.
- Education Requirements
You must meet the education requirements stated in the Job Announcement by the closing date. If the Announcement requires a degree with a major in a particular course of study, your degree must be in that major to qualify. Substitution of another major requires 24-30 credits in the required major, plus a statement from a Department Chair in the required major at an accredited institution that your credits would satisfy the requirements for the required major.
- Experience Requirements
You must meet the experience requirements by the Job Announcement closing date. List all pertinent experience that qualifies you for the position based upon the requirements of the job. In order to get credit for part-time or volunteer work, you must show the number of hours worked per week on your application.
- Education or Experience Substitution Requirements
Substitutions for education and experience requirements are allowed only if the requirements section of the job description specifically states that a substitution can be made and what the substitutions are.
- Licenses and Certifications
If the Job Announcement requires a license or certification, attach a copy of your license or certification to your application. The license or certification must be current and valid.
- Driver’s License
A driver’s license valid in New Jersey is required
only if the operation of a motor vehicle is necessary to
perform
essential duties of the job.
If the Job Announcement requires a transcript, please attach a copy of your official transcript to your application. Write the title and symbol of the Announcement on your transcript. If the college is directly sending your transcript to the DOP, please inform them to indicate the Job Announcement SYMBOL on the transcript.
Foreign transcripts must be evaluated by a recognized evaluation service at your expense. Attach a copy of the evaluation to each application that requires a college degree or credits. Although we do not endorse any specific evaluation services, some services include:
