It is the candidate's responsibility to contact the Department of
Rehabilitation's Examination Unit in Sacramento at (916) 558-5545
three weeks after the final filing date if he/she has not
received a progress report.
If a candidate's notice of oral interview fails to reach him/her
prior to the day of the interview due to a verified postal error,
he/she will be rescheduled upon written request.
If you meet the requirements stated on the reverse, you may take
this examination, which is competitive. Possession of the
entrance requirement does not assure a place on the eligible
list. All candidates who pass will be ranked according to their
scores.
The Department of Rehabilitation reserves the right to revise the
examination plan to better meet the needs of the service if the
circumstances under which this examination was planned change.
Such revision will be in accordance with civil service law and
rules and all candidates will be notified.
Examination Locations: When a written test is part of the

extended as conditions warrant.

certain circumstances other employees may be allowed to compete
under provision of Rules 234, 235 and 235.2. State Personnel
Board Rules 233, 234, 235, 235.2 and 237 contain provisions

It is an objective of the State of California to achieve a
drug-free State work place. Any applicant for State employment
will be expected to behave in accordance with this objective

the State, the rules governing civil service and the special
trust placed in public servant.
