  How Veteran’s Preference works
   
   
  The Department of Personnel operates under what is commonly known as the "Rule of Three."  The "Rule of Three" means that after an open competitive or promotional exam is held, the Appointing Authority may select any candidate from the top three ranks unless a veteran is in the top three ranks as noted below. Veteran's Preference gives all eligible Disabled Veterans and Veterans priority on the certified lists.  However, the "Rule of Three" is applied differently to Open Competitive Exams than to Promotional Exams
