Since CSDR is a State Operated Program, the employees are hired through the California State Civil Service system.
There are positions that are Exempt from the Civil Service hiring system and they are any instructional/teaching position at CSDR.
This does NOT include the classification of Teaching Assistant, which is a California State Civil Service classification.
The California State Civil Service system requires that a person take an examination for the Civil Service classification they are interested in obtaining. The State scores the examination and ranks all participants.
When CSDR has an opening, applications may be accepted from anyone who is on the list for the classification, any person who is currently working for the State of California in that classification, or any person who is working for the State and can lateral transfer into that classification. In order to lateral transfer the person still has to meet the minimum qualifications and be able to perform the job duties of that classification.
The California State Personnel Board’s (SPB) web site www.spb.ca.gov provides a Civil Service application and exams that are presently being given. Exams.spb.ca.gov is a web site for on-line exams provided by the State Personnel Board.
