t EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
The City of Saint Peter uses a 100-point system to assign value to the experience and training that relates
most closely to the position you are applying for. Your experience and training will be scored using the
experience and training value system designed for this position. Those applicants (typically the top 6 to 8)
with the highest number
of
total points will
be
advanced for additional consideration.
In
order to receive the correct points and credit for the knowledge and skills you have acquired, it
is
absolutely necessary that you are specific when describing these skills. Do not use a single general
statement to describe the duties you have performed. List each major duty performed for each position
held within the past five years. Whether you are describing your experience as a clerical worker or a truck
driver, list each duty separately and be specific. Describe duties
in
specific terms, such as "performed
word processing using Word,"
or
"operated forklift, front end loader, and back hoe." Statements such as
"performed general clerical work" or "operated heavy equipment" are too general.
Please
be
specific
in
stating the dates
of
employment and number of hours you worked per week for each
job experience indicated. We need this information to properly score your experience.
If
hours worked per
week vary, please use the average number of hours worked per week.
+ Complete the boxed in "Length
of
Employment" section only for positions held within the past five years,
but please do include all
of
your relevant work experience
