When it comes to California state services, the biggest confusion and roadblock is "list eligibility". What is that list? Do I need to be on it? How do I get on it? It is a list of eligible individuals you must be on to be hired by a state agency or department. You might hear the term "list-eligible" or "reachable". Any new applicant to state services can be hired without having "list eligibility". (Are you still confused?) State services positions have classifications. These classifications have pay ranges, so the general public will often see a salary and become hypnotized, but does that individual meet that classification’s minimum qualifications to reach that salary?

Some examples of classifications you may be familiar with are Office Technician (OT), which has OT Typing and OT General; you will usually see Office Technician (T) or (G), the new Analyst Series, as well as the new Supervisor and Manager Series. In the Information Technology (IT series), you may see IT Associate, IT Specialist I, II, and III, IT Supervisor I or II, and IT Manager I or II.

Learning these nuances and gaining the ability to navigate the recruitment and hiring processes will allow each individual to showcase their skills and experience most effectively. ​Send an email today to find out how we can assist you or get info about upcoming virtual workshops that are being held!
