Employment with the State of Florida
The State
is a
major employer
in
Florida offering many challenging
and rewarding career
opportuni-
ties. Included among the
many
advantages
of
working for
the
State are the diverse
and
interesting job opportunities
as
well
as
competitive
salaries,
benefits, and career
mobility.
Most state jobs are
in
the
Career
Service
personnel system.
The
Career Service system
provides
uniform pay, job classification,
benefits,
and recruitment for the majority
of
non-management jobs within
state
agencies. Career Service employees
can
move between agencies without any
loss
of
state
benefits.
Non-Career Service jobs
include
upper
management and policy-making jobs
in the
Senior Management Service (SMS),
middle
management and professional positions such
as
physicians, attorneys, bureau chiefs
in the
Selected Exempt Service (SES),
and
temporary jobs funded
by
Other
Personal
Services (OPS). OPS employees receive
an
hourly wage but
no
benefits such
as insur-
ance, leave,
or retirement.
Non-Career Service agencies
are
agencies
in
which
all
positions are not
a
part
of the
Career Service system and their employment
procedures may differ. For example,
in most
cases, they may require different applications
and their job titles and salaries may not
be
comparable
to
the Career Service
system.
EMPLOYMENT
PROCESS
Individual state agencies are responsible
for
announcing their job vacancies,
accepting
ications, and making hiring
ecisions.
Generally,
agencies accept
job
applications
for adver-
tised vacancies
only.
In
some instances,
how-
ever, agencies
may
accept applications
on a
continuous basis
to
meet
Affirmative Action goals and
hard-to-fill vacancies. You
may obtain applications from
any
Career Service agency personnel office
or
any Florida Jobs and Benefits
Center
(formerly Job Service
of
Florida). A
legible
original
or
photocopy
of
the State
of Florida
employment application
is
normally required
for each job vacancy for which you apply.
It is
also possible
to
obtain
an
application
form
and
to
apply electronically via the Internet
for
many vacancies
at:
http://jobsdirect.state.fl.us
LOCATING
VACANT
POSITIONS
There are several ways for you
to
obtain
state job vacancy
information:
Vacancy information
is
available
on the
Internet
at:
http://jobsdirect.state.fl.us.
Contact individual Career Service agencies
directly
for
information regarding
their
employment
opportunities.
Contact
a
Florida Jobs and Benefits Center
for job vacancy information for
all Career
Service agencies, including jobs
in the
Selected Exempt and Senior Management
Services. Check your telephone
directory
under “Florida Jobs and Benefits
Center”
or
“Job Service
of
Florida”
to
locate the
office nearest
you.
Since agencies are not required
to
advertise
OPS
temporary jobs, you may wish
to
contact any
of
the state agencies
for OPS
employment
consideration.
JOB SEARCH
TIPS
Market yourself. Prior
to
completing
the
application, gather specific
information
relating
to
the position you seek
by
reviewing
the job opportunity announcement
or by
contacting the employing agency for
a
description
of
duties and relevant knowledge,
skills, and abilities. Use this information
to
assist you in preparing your application,
cover
letters, resumes and other support
materials.
COMPETING IN
THE
SELECTION PROCESS
The first step
an
employing agency takes
in
the selection process
is to
review
the
applications which have been received
to
determine who
is
eligible
to
compete
further
in
the selection process. The agency
then
uses job-related criteria
to
determine
those
applicants who will
be
asked
to
participate
in
additional assessment steps such
as an oral
interview,
a
work sample exercise,
or a
proficiency test. The job-related
information
gained during the selection process
will
assist the hiring official
in
making the
final
selection decision. Veterans’
preference
and Affirmative Action goals are also
considered
by
the agency
in the
decision-making
process.
If,
because
of a
disability, you require
a
special accommodation
to
participate
in the
application and selection process,
please
notify the hiring authority
in advance.
