State Energy Jobs

While the State of California will be laying off employees in some areas, others will be hiring. The Energy Commission will be adding some positions. As with most government jobs, candidates must first take an exam. If successful, the person's name will be placed on a ranked list that shows they are eligible to compete for a position. (As long as the application is mailed with a postmark of that date, it is supposed to be accepted.)
Based on my experience in working for the state, applicants should fill out the application completely and do NOT write "see resume" and attach one. A cover letter is good business practice, but nothing from the cover letter will be carried over in the exam evaluation. Keep a copy of your application. but DON"T submit the copy. Each application needs an original signature. Links to more exam information are at the end of this e-mail.Energy Analyst Exam, Minimum qualificaqtionsEducation: Equivalent to graduation from college with a major in ecology, energy, environment, energy economics, statistics, operations research, planning, land use, engineering, geology,physical or biological science, or a closely related energy field.

(Work experience performing technical energy related duties may be substituted for the required education with one year of experience being equal to one year of education.)begin accepting applications again in August.http://jobs.spb.ca.gov/openxrd.cfm?exc=6ERABhttp://www.dpa.ca.gov/textdocs/specs/s5/s5837.txt
